WTF are you doing moron
We're in George Lucas country...
We could use Yoda at short....
We could use more Harrison Ford and less Hayden Christensen.

I hate to say it, but this is how everyone expected us to play when Posey went down. We tried to fix our holes with the best options available, but even that hasn't worked. At some point one has to just accept the fact that this may not be our year :sad:
I'm not giving up till the fat lady sings, but the realist in me is preparing for the worst.
Uh, the fat lady just finished singing "Turn Out The Lights" and is launching into "Same Time Next Year" now.
When Posey went down, we still had a chance if we didn't also then lose pretty much everyone else for some time this year (BOTH Chezes, Nate, Beltran...aw hell you don't need me to list them all), and also if the only healthy players (Huff, Ross, Torres (oh wait, he missed time too), etc) didn't crap the bed this year.
Posey was merely the biggest injury in a literally historic, unprecedented year of injuries for this team.
But that's what happened and its see you in 2012.
I'm rooting for a Tigers Brewers series myself.

Fuck TS Eliot -- he was an infamous anti-Semite. Marcus probably loves him.
