I told myself I would watch the whole Tigers Game tonight. Although it has been a less than positive outcome, I couldn't help but start a little daydreaming about the beauty of their story. I can't help but be filled with pride for our city of Detroit and my heart can not stop loving that Austin Jackson just a little bit more each day.
Comerica is emptying out, people are heading home, and the game is not over. It is less than perfect right now - mid ninth, tigers up to bat - but what if right now, our line-up stepped up to the plate and the first smack with the bat was a game changer. What if we got all of the ducks on the pond and Santi sends another one out of the park.
This is where we stand as Michiganders. We are all waiting for that game changer. Hoping to make things happen. Change this state, uplift this economy, believe in something better/faster/stronger than what it is.
Or, what if, the game stays 10-1 and there are no game changers - no comebacks, no runners on base, and no chance of getting more than 3 guys up to bat. What if this is what it is.
A great friend always tells me that "something is brewing" and I love the hope that comes from that statement. However, it got me thinking- what if what's brewing is right here, right now. 9 down, ALDS game, Home field, and a pretty good chance this will be a loss for the books.
Well friends, here we are 11:45 PM and all I know is what Jesus says and I believe those promises. But I need to believe that they are here, right now, 9 up or 9 down - ALDS title or not. Leggooooo!
P.S. 2 trophies this weekend for our HXC program - They are pretty stinkin' AWESOME kids.
