Theres no I in team

After watching last nights sad performance, I started to realize this team is not playing as a "team", but more as individuals.  Each player is trying to be the guy who puts the team on his back and carries them through the playoffs.  I saw glimpses of this during the regular season, and it has come back full force in the playoffs.  Rammy who has a hissy-fit every time he swings for the fence and either strikes out or pops the ball up to the catcher, foul territory or any of the infielders.  Lilly throwing his glove on the mound in a toddleresque tantrum.  This team needs to relax, and stop trying to single handedly erase 99 years of post-season debauchery.  I can only hope that being down 0-2 will make these guys relax and just get back to playing good ball as a collective team!  I'm not counting them out, but what I have seen in the past two days makes me really apprehensive going into Saturday.  That being said, kudos to Soto for stepping up in a big game on a big stage.....

the comments here are not really responding to your diary, so I will:  I agree with that, and it would be nice if you were able to give the cubs a little pep talk just like this.

Does Soriano's defense at 2B really cost more runs than in LF?  He makes a lot fewer errors in LF since misplays and mental mistakes aren't figured into the stats, but I have to imagine that his mistakes are more physical at 2B.  Any thoughts?  Is there a statistic on this?
