Great season, Cubbies. We'll get 'em next year. Hats off to the Brewers, good luck against LA.

Talent doesn't always express itself right away.

Some people's talent is that they are a high responder to training/learning. They need to spend the time doing the work before they can fully express their gift.

We tend to overvalue those who show great initial promise.

So the #RyderCup was fun for like the first hour of the tournament. What a dominant victory for Europe.
