I'm not ready to write off the season (at all) but that injury report was about as bleak as I could have imagined. And as Butch said, Aramis is by far our best hitter.
However, the Yankees ran into this same problem this year (best hitter, a 3rd baseman, out with an injury) and they're still in the race
I'm wondering if we should just accept that we can't replace aram's bat, and go the opposite way, and get a sparkling fielder. Did Koskie retire? Would the M's trade Beltre?
How about tom's favorite human, Joe Crede?
Kinda grabbing at straws here.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
