Who da man? (part II) "I AM"

It was a piece of history. 36 years of since the last No-No but a Cubs picture. As any Cubs fan will tell you. This September has been a pretty dismal month. But lets get real for a moment. Its a game. It doesn't (at least we shouldn't let it) rule our lives.

Many of my longtime friends and colleagues will be losing their jobs this week. To many lost their lives in the train wreck in L.A. People have lost there homes in Texas. People have terrible flooding here in Northern Illinois. Even our back yard is a lake right now. Nobody ever said life was easy. In fact, nobody ever said it was supposed to be fun. We all just hope and wish for a simple and easy life. Words easier said than to believe or live, but there is a plan out there for all of us. I hope that those plans are made evident to everyone very soon.

So Who da man? While its a great personal achievement for Carlos Zambrano. What's the first thing he does? Drops to his knees points to the sky, and give the Great "I AM" his props. In his post game interview, when asked if he had anything else to say, his response what "I just want to give thanks to my Lord". Amen Brother!

If nothing else, for one brief moment, amidst the flooding in Illinois, the cleanup in L.A. and in the Gulf. Cubbie-nation was given a brief moment of joy. A moment to look beyond, to forget, and find a moment to smile, and to celebrate a small piece of history. But most of all to give props to the Great "I AM".

Peace
