Why the Phillies, Cubs, Yanks, and Angels lost the DS

By

Actually, I’ll generalize to all teams that have lost any game or series throughout the history of baseball (and most other sports).  Their opponents probably outhit and/or outpitched them, likely outscored them, and definitely won more games than they did.  Oh, and several players on the losing teams had a bad game/series - worse then their regular season stats.  And the winning teams probably played with more heart, guts, guile, and confidence, and some of them were even teams of destiny.  Did I leave anything out?
