First of all, stp using the "____ said this is the case and he knows way more about baseball than some internet message board poster" argument becuase it's a huge coupout. Don't you always complain about the Soriano contract and hendry? Well "Hendry has forgotten more about baseball than you have ever known! He makes millions of dollars while you post on an internet message board" See how that works? When you say stuff like that it just hurts your arguments. Anyways, show me where Lopu said that the reason the Cubs lost in the playoffs is because they didn't have enough speed and athletisism in the playoffs. Oh wait, he didn't. Listen dude, you NEED to stop with this stuff about them having some offensive flaw that only shows up in the playoffs. If you want to complain about the group of offensive players and say they'll continue to choke in the playoffs, then go ahead. That's a valid concern. But don't act like the reason they didn't score runs in those 6 games has to do with the type of offense of the way it's built. It's just makes you look really dumb. Sorry, but that's the truth. They couldn't handle the monet. It's as simple as that.... it really is. It had nothing to do with anything else. They couldn't handle the pressure and did not perform well. Just stop.
