I care. I hate liars.
You try to come on here and get information from people and put a little trust that they are telling you the truth. Whats so bad about expecting the truth? No, you dont bet your life over someone on the internet, but personally I cannot stand liars... Give me a stand up person everytime... Reliable people with some integrity. Its so easy to lie from behind a keyboard. I think it displays a special type of weakness to lie from a keyboard. And I find it refreshing that there are people who have expectations that a person might come thru. Mike took the extra step of actually caring enough to meet someone. I find that admirable, as strange as it may seem. Last edited by pgardn : 08-06-2006 at 11:46 AM.

I would have exchanged cell phone numbers and have done the best I could to be there. If you say you are going to try and do something do it, or at least explain yourself.

It's lame not to show or at least apologize for not showing.
The guy is all over the board here with all kinds of big-shot proclamations. Things happen and maybe he couldn't make it, but at least he could have phoned or apologized in an email. If the guy was with his girlfriend and she didn't want to take the time to meet Oracle and/or didn't want BR to "leave her" then he either needs to get a new woman or, better yet, she needs to get a new man.... one who does a bit better job of meeting obligations and not buckling under the mild pressure of his girl. If he was there and didn't take 5 minutes to say hello, he's an a ssshole. If he was not there, he's an a sshole for not calling or saying he's sorry for not making it. I'm sure Oracle will live. It's just bad form.

I can't wait to hear his "explanation" when he comes back and trips over this thread.
btw, after numerous pm's, this one tipped his hand a long time ago. My mom (rip) always said, "If you say you're going to do something, do it." In my view, doing otherwise (not being "stand up) compromises credibility. And, on a final note...Big Daddy Ray runs in the 9th today (Sunday) at Finger Lakes. 20-1 ml. Maybe, maybe, maybe??????

He tipped to me in a pm also. Oracle is just a guy who loves horse racing, makes a wager or two here and there and is passionate about both (the Songster/Albertrani post was classic!). Like any of us who are racing fans, he'd probably get a kick out of shaking hands, having a laugh and watching a race with someone who shares those interests, any differences notwithstanding. Big Daddy is yours? After a week of non-wagering brought on by a combination of a busy work week and, especially by my passing last Sunday on a horse I'd bet three races straight which paid $58, I shall gloriously return to action with a very modest play on BDR. Seems as good or better a place to start. Good luck!
