Is It Only a Game?

My St. Louis Cardinals have been having a hard time in the late innings, coughing up the lead in the 8^th, 9th, and extra innings. It’s bad enough that they struggle to get ahead in the early innings and cling to a minimal lead only to see it slip away late. Naughty words seem find their way into my vocabulary, which are generally addressed at the umpires, but I know that’s not really the problem.

The problem is that our guys don’t have that killer instinct. They don’t have that mindset that pushes them on to finish the hated Cubs, Reds, or Mets off. The mindset that says “when you get them down, stomp on them.” It has gotten so bad that the first thing I do in the morning after a win is check with ESPN to make sure they didn't lose it in the locker room after the game.

The "Two Heads are Better than None"  series was a pilot project that crashed on take off.
