Fear of Meltdown Leads to Meltdown

For the second straight season, the Cubs got swept in the playoffs by a shitty ol' team out west. Worse, for the second straight season, the Cubs abandoned the approach that made them so successful throughout the season, and did the home run thing. Every fucking batter went up trying to win the World Series with one gargantuan blast, and they all whiffed.

I hate to toy around with the notion of the curse, because curses don't exist. However, just like last year, it looked like the Cubs were a team waiting for the awful thing to happen. They played tight, because they're afraid of the curse rearing its head.

Play loose. They never did, and they got smoked. And Soriano sucks ass.
