Better to be lucky than good.

My Chicago Cubs have become bottom-feeders. They win lots of baseball games against teams with losing records. But they haven't won a series against a team with a winning record since April. So, it's little wonder that the Cubs will have difficulty making the play-offs this summer. But I ain't giving up. Sometimes, mediocre teams go all the way to the World Series. The best teams have been known to falter. Maybe from over-confidence. That's something the Cubs don't have to worry about. They have no reason to be confident. The Cubs are in second place in a relatively weak division. And hey, they have lots of games left with teams with losing records. Now, the task is to reach the play-offs. Sometimes, it's better to be lucky than good. --Jim Broede
