How Do the Yankees Do It?

Why can't the Cubs play ball like the New York Yankees?

On May 1, the Yanks were in last place in the American League Eastern Division. They had a record of 10-14, and they played as if someone had just called them up from the Little League of Del Rio, Texas.

Today the Yankees are in second place in their division, with a record of 30-31. They look as if they're serious about catching up with Boston.

Why don't the Cubs ever manufacture rallies like that?

The Cubs sometimes launch winning streaks, but they normally fall apart after a few games.

These abortive rallies don't happen only during the famous June Swoon. The Cubs can fall apart any month of the season.
