Law of averages doesn't apply to revenge

Tom Haudricourt gets it dead on: "Blown retaliatory strike: Teams' drillings upstage golden opportunity."

My rant and a copy of my personal letter to Ned Yost can be found here.

True to his "law of averages" theory, Yost insists: "We still have math on our side." Proves the fallibility of your plan, man. Sweeping the Cards was in the bag. Now you have to win every single game against a real contending team, and one with a cherry on top after that against the stinkin' Cubbies, if you want to make it.

I hope that keeps you warm after you lose one to the Pads and sit quitely in your living room watching the Cubbies blow the penant.
