For the third straight postseason, the Phillies blow a Game 1 lead in the seventh inning or later. It's happening all over again. They lose, 5-3, and they face elimination Wednesday afternoon.
I guess I'm just more optimistic in believing that talented people are naturally curious, and that curiosity doesn't evaporate because they can more rapidly progress to new questions.
Nor does curiosity exist only to get credit for existing.
