Time to Give Thanks

Vote 0 Votes

Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends but most importantly it is a time to give thanks for all of the blessings we receive on a daily basis. When you sit down with your family and friends today, take a minute to think about what in your life you are thankful for ... and just think it is only 130 days until Opening Day.

From everyone at the CCO ... Happy Thanksgiving

Beyond a Game by Jewel W.

It is a white ball against
a sky so blue it hurts your eyes

It is thick grass, so perfectly green

Day fading into evening
as cheers fade to silence

Soft moonlight on an empty park
Full of promise with morning light

Crack of a bat, the graceful are
flies over a wall

Little white thing, focus of all eyes

It is breathing hard in soft evening air
Running the perfect white line
To reach a base

Unending promise, untapped possibility
Beyond baseball, beyond a game
It is beauty

Matt,
Sorry to hear about a rough ride. I'll pray for the Lord to help you through this time, and I'm glad to hear things are looking up. Now you keep looking up to Him and it will no doubt turn into a blessing.

I am glad things are getting better for you. Good to hear from you.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Let's all hope next year at this time that we are giving thanks for a great baseball season by our favorite team! Have a great day everybody!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Make sure and tip one (even if it's O'Douls or Grape Juice!) for JimK!

No matter what's going on in our lives, we can always find something to be thankful for, right?

Talk to you soon!

Happy Thanksgiving all!!

I want to say I am thankful for the Ricketts family on this day. Here's to the future.

If a Turkey were meant to be eaten online sorrounded by great friends... this is where I would have mine! Happy Thanks giving to all!

ps-Cheers to JimK!

A young widow and her only son used to trudge to Fenway in the '30s to find relief from the Great Depression for a few hours at a time.

The son grew up and moved far away, made a new life and raised a large family.

His mother continued her solitary trek to Fenway...and her son made a similiar
trek from lessons learned early...
To Wrigley.

" It's money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find reserved
seats somewhere along one of the baselines...where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes."

"The memories will be so thick, they'll have to brush them away from their faces.

People will come, Ray.

The one constant through all the years,
Ray, has been baseball.

America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard...rebuilt and erased again.
But baseball has marked the time."
-James Earl Jones/Terrence Mann
Field of Dreams

The young man that raised a family far from home was my father/the young widow
my grandmother...both long gone...but the roots of my love for the Cubs.

I share my love of the Cubs...from the love of my family...to you...My Cubs family.

A toast to JimK with a nod and a wink...

AND

- A very Happy Thanksgiving and Holiday
Season ...be it easy or hard, to you...my Cubs family.


Neil, when I saw your headline, I thought maybe we finally traded Milton Bradley.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
