This the problem, we think were destined. Nobodies destined. The Red Sox werent destined last year (they bought a WS), the Marlins werent destined, nobody has ever earned it in June.
It's earned in October, and while this is a great sign that the no-quit attitude really has caught on it's still one game. It's another in the W column and it helps get us a chance at October (looks pretty good now though I must say.)
But teams who think they're destined lose, always. They think things will fall into place, they think the luck that they have carried with them all these games will just keep going. Luck isnt random, it's earned. Luck is when preparation meets opportunity, and right now were facing an easy schedule with an awesome group of ballplayers. We are looking elite, but there are teams who have prepared, and 3 others from the AL will get the opportunity.
It all comes down to the intangibles and the heart. Two things we better have come Ocbotber.
