The Cubs and the Big Choke

Cough, hack, wheeze, gasp; this is my imitation of the Chicago Cubs during this year's MLB playoffs. How is it that a team who did as well as the Cubs during the regular season be downright wimps in the post-season? As a number of teachers have said to me over the years: It's all between the ears. Lou, you may want to get your PhD in Psychology as these Cubs are in need of some serious counseling. I hope Jim Hendry is able to keep this team together for next year as they played very well except for a stretch at the end of the year. Perhaps this recent experience will instill some mental toughness and, together, the Chicago Cubs advance through the playoffs and get to the World Series.
