The New York Times and sports psychology

The New York Times, in an apparent effort to shore up the hometown Yankees, takes a look at sports psychology. Their conclusion? Loose knit teams (Yankees) are able to better handle tough times than tight knit teams (Red Sox). Heh. Well, that's good, because it seems the Yankees have the adversity of choking against the Sox last year to overcome.

Just the same, you have to admit the Yankees are a threat to win it all every year. As Bill "Spaceman" Lee said: "You take a team with 25 assholes, and I'll show you a pennant. I'll show you the New York Yankees."
