We all could use a psychiatrist.

I think the hiring of a team psychiatrist is starting to pay dividends for my Chicago Cubs. Yesterday, the Cubs were losing to Milwaukee 6-3, with two outs in the 8th inning and nobody on base. But by the time the inning had ended, the Cubs had rallied for 4 runs and a 7-6 lead. And then the Cubs closer came in to pitch the 9th inning against the heart of the Milwaukee batting order, and struck out the side. All on swinging strikes. Now that's a Cubs team starting to believe in itself. With confidence. With swagger. You gotta believe that you can win before you begin to win. Yes, we all could use a psychiatrist. A little mental adjustment can go a long way. --Jim Broede
