Games 3, 4, and 5

It will be difficult, though not impossible, for the Cubs to defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks three games in a row. Despite all the superlatives wasted on the Diamondbacks by the TBS announcers, they are not a better team than the Cubbies. Arizona got lucky, and the Cubs got unlucky.

The Cubs won three games in a row against the Florida Marlins in the 2003 National League Championship Series. But the real issue now is psychological, not statistical. Cub fans smell defeat, but what do the players smell?
