The hitting is the reason for our demise this year. Injuries have taken a toll, as they do to every team, and our bench has not been able to pick up the slack. Last year, we led the NL in offense (runs scored, OBP), and this year, we're something like 10th or 12th in the league.
That's the difference.
That's the difference.
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
