Terry responded by saying, "You may be thinking about it, but I'm not thinking about it." I was thinking, Terry, you should be thinking about it. But then Nelson Figueroa and Keith Hernandez and (maybe?) Jim Duquette said that they agreed with Terry. And that surprised me. I thought the conventional wisdom was that you're supposed to play the hot hand in the playoffs. I certainly rather TC didn't publicly discount it. Now he's put himself in a corner. Never let them know what you're thinking, as well as what you're not thinking.
