Jon Weisman's outlet for dealing psychologically with the Los Angeles Dodgers, baseball and life

Fables

Here’s a sneak peak at one of our stories from the October issue of Dodger Insider magazine. Our friend Mike Petriello gives us a myth-and-reality analysis of what’s worth worrying about with regards to a team trying to get to the World Series, and what’s not worth worrying about. Click the image above to enlarge.

Bottom line — there’s always something to worry about, but you don’t need to worry about everything.

Here are more links specifically addressing the notion of late-season momentum, from Dave Cameron at Fox Sports’ Just a Bit Outside, Dave Studeman at the Hardball Times and Jay Jaffe at SI.com.
