...other ways to make a living.

Hey, maybe the Chicago Cubs listened to me and manager Lou Piniella. We both complained the other day of the Cubs lethargic performance so far in spring training down here in Arizona. Piniella morerorless read the riot act to the team. To start taking the game seriously. Even though it doesn't count in the standings until the season starts in April. Yesterday, the Cubs lambasted the Kansas City Royals, 9-1. Playing sharp, crisp baseball. The way the game is supposed to be played. With confidence. With fervor. With swagger. Let's hope this continues. I think the Cubs should hire a psychologist. Because baseball is a psychological game to a large extent. Players must have confidence and a winning attitude. Going through the motions isn't enough. When baseball becomes a job rather than pure pleasure, it's time for professional ballplayers to find other ways to make a living. --Jim Broede
