I hate to hear that, I've liked him for years.

 

[Ramy]

Yeah I figured that after watching the game and see him go down.

At least it's just a groin strain and not a tear. He should be very well by the time camp rolls around.

I LOVE Griffey and maybe, it might not have been a tear....but the safe thing would be to put him on the shelf for the rest of the season....smart move by the organization...

Yeah with only 2 weeks left and they being out of the race.

9 games left in the season. junior almost made it through an entire season!

 

[Paul Wozniak]

This is a case of "what if?" I cringe every time I hear he's been injured. What if he had a relatively injury-free career. We could have been celebrating his record beating HR, instead of Barry- I'll take anything that makes me better - Bonds. What a great player Jr. has been, despite all the injuries. A credit to the game.

i believe we had this conversation earlier this summer. no disagreements from me. junior is a first ballot shoe in for cooperstown as soon as he is eligible!

 

[Paul Wozniak]

Yeah, we did, but with all the crap we have to write about, it's nice to point out what's still right about sports - players like Jr.!

You got that right.

btw, the asterik is done with the giants after this season. brilliant move on their part!

If were lucky the asterik will retire.

Probably going to the Detroit Tigers with Leyland so he can get 3000 hits.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

Don't hold your breath on that one. If he plays, it probably will be in the American League, so he can DH. Just not the Tigers. I didn't realize he didn't have 3000 hits.

But he started with Leyland, he can end with Leyland.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

He started with Pittsburgh, you can have him back.

 

[cybok0]

We don't have a DH.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

Change the rule, change leagues, I don't care, we don't want, or need him.

 

[cybok0]

Come on Paul, think what Bonds would of done for the Tigers this year. Just kidding Paul, he'll probably go to the Yankees or A's IMHO.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

Hopefully Sheffield will be healthy for the whole season next year. Tigers were a different team when he was swinging the bat without pain. I see the Yankee's as the only team stupid enough to sign this over-the-hill asterik.
