Fans in Cincinnati have been absolutely horrible to Ken Griffey , Jr, and today, more morons were yelling and criticizing him as he lay in the outfield with a dislocation of the shoulder after diving for a ball to try and prevent a bases-clearing double.
For me, I’m not mad at Griffey. I am pretty much out of any real hope that this will ever end. Every year since 2001, it’s been a nightmare, and a real shame to see a guy who came to Cincinnati at age 30 only 102 homers shy of 500, and entered 2001, at 31, only 62 away. Now, two years later, he still has 39 to go. I was hopeful, after the good spring, that this would be the year when he shut up all the loud mouths. Now, they’re crowing again, and I’m so glad I don’t live there anymore so I don’t have to hear it.
