I don't mean this as anything against you guys at all, but to me being afraid to face the Cubs or Cardinals in a 3 game series is about as much of a losing mentality as we could possibly have. Feels like being conditioned to be afraid of failure after decades of disappointment.
I get it, I understand where you're coming from but man, I hope the players and organization don't feel that way. I hope they'd relish that opportunity.
