Griffey couldn't wait until May to get hurt

[2muchcoffeeman]

Broke his hand at home and will be in a cast for three weeks.

This sounds familiar.

Thanks, 2muchcoffeeman. I posted this earlier on the Hot Stove 2 thread, but it really deserves its own. I was just too lazy to do it.

2MCM, why do you hate catch-all threads America?

I wasn't being sarcastic. I really was glad somebody started a thread and I really was too lazy to do it earlier. And, of course, I had to mention that I had posted this little tidbit first.

Breaking news deserves its own thread, dammit.

And Damn you, Griffey, damn you and your oft-injured body to hell. Stop filling an ex-baseball fan with hope and then dashing it with your damned injuries.

Lucky for Griff, three weeks can turn into six and he still should be fine come February. Though some could say he still has plenty of time to come up with another ailment.

Who the **** breaks their hand in a "home accident?"

 

[Sam Mills 51]

Jeff Kent. Jimmie Johnson. Now Ken Griffey Jr.

Good grief ... at this rate, hockey gloves will become the accessory of choice outside the rink, too.

 

[Herbert Anchovy]

Yeah, and Irving Fryar sliced up his hand peeling the potatoes.

 

[HoopsMcCann]

i once broke my hand in an office accident... ****in' photographer pissed me off so much i punched a wall. i thought it was just cheap wood on the wall -- and it was. there was just concrete behind it.

Has anyone checked on redswriter? He's probably on a ledge...

 

[dawgpounddiehard]

Can we get Griffey a bubble? I'll play Trivial Pursuit with him while the bubble boy bides his time between seasons, innings, at bats... etc.

 

[ondeadline]

He was probably "washing his truck."

Bless you and yours this holiday season, Mizzou.

Seriously, I feel nothing but sympathy for Griff. The guy seems like one of the few clean players from the 90s, was voted the decade's best player over Bonds and had (and still does) a spotless record. Now he probably has a live-in orthopedist and custom-built OR, has absolutely not shot in reaching 700 HRs, let alone breaking Aaron's record and is toiling on a sad Reds team, whose best pitcher hasn't pitched above Triple A (Homer Bailey). This is a sad situation.

Um, Bronson Arroyo. Just saying.

1. harang's better than arroyo

2. while it's true bailey hasn't pitched above aaa -- he's also not pitched about aa. dude's ****in' legit, too. and, yeah, he may be better than harang or arroyo

Good thing they traded for Jeff Conine.
