Then you know I’m sitting in my parents’ basement, my glasses fixed with tape, hurriedly photoshoping and revising web pages and stats to reflect the truth “We’ve always had Griffey”

“You didnâ€™t study Orwellâ€™s 1984 at some point in your education?”

Actually, I did. I was being facetious (and I can see you through your computer).

Thereâ€™s a lot more to the game than the stats, say what you will.

You forgot the part about “sitting in our parents’ basements.” Man, even the trolls are getting lazy. No wonder the economy is in such trouble.

There are a lot of people out there including myself that will be going to see Griffey regardless of how well he performs. Nobody is expecting him to be the savior of the Mariners, well I’m sure there’s a few, but you see where I’m going. There’s a lot more to the game than the stats, say what you will.

Suzuki has convinced Jr. to never bounce off of anything ever again and to only show us the fans that sweet swing and smile.

It remains to be seen what Jr. will convince Suzuki of.

Well, except for those surgeons and the rehab specialists, perhaps.

Speaking of which, I wonder if Swedish is gonna try to recruit Junior as their official “celebrity endorser” for this season?

I donâ€™t think Junior will be put in the field, but if he is I bet we see some highlight reel catches.

You may get exactly one. Thereafter, you'll be seeing highlight reels of his surgeons giving press conferences. The guy is pushing 40 and he's injury and accident prone. (What kind of professional athlete gets hurt playing with his kids?) It's in everybody's best interest to keep him out of the field. Well, except for those surgeons and the rehab specialists, perhaps.

Now as to why their official news agency was called Truth, I have no idea.

Why? Because that’s the only way he can get to the ball?

The Mariners have already decided Griffey will be in left field when his legs feel fine.

quoted by Jim Street:
“It’s too early to talk about lineups, or how much playing time he’ll get until we get a chance to talk with each other about how his body feels,” manager Don Wakamatsu said on Thursday. “When he gets to camp, and we’ve had a chance to talk to him about how he feels, we’ll have a better idea.

“We’re going to let this play out. He’s going to let us know, and we’ll let him know, when we get down the road. He knows his body.”

GRIFFEY MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO FIELD.

I don’t think Junior will be put in the field, but if he is I bet we see some highlight reel catches.
