This might shock you, but Griffey eats babies. It was a big concern for the team what with Buehrle having a kid about every two years now. Kids on the Reds were just too young to care.

Didn't he try to devour Cueto?

I've always been confused at how people thought Griffey Jr. was going to be a clubhouse cancer with the Sox? It's like people are surprised he was a good clubhouse guy. When he was in Cincinnati, every one of their young outfielders said how amazing Griffey Jr. was with them.

Who said that? I never heard anything like that.

Sweet, that was like a 7 pitch inning.

 

Thank god we broke through against the mighty Jackasaurus. That mediocre arsenal of fastball and fail is scary.

People actually thought he'd be a cancer? Griffey is considered to be one of the best clubhouse guys in the game. Who doesn't love the kid?

 

Griffey is said to have whined a lot about diminishing press coverage when A-Rod began to steal his thunder in Seattle. That most likely followed him around for a while.

 

Every time CQ gets a haircut, he goes into a mini-slump. It's a fact...

Fields looks like crap. Please try Betemit or even Viciedo.

Because they are both not as good as Josh, thats most likely the reason.

There's been different mentions in the media leading up to this series about how no one knew what to expect with him in the clubhouse. Even when the trade was made, there was some worries he might not fit in with the team.

Ick, that's very old news. That's pretty ridiculous, talk about grasping at straws.

Wow, who would have thought we'd see a Viciedo request????

Wgn has gotten back a pitch late several times already this game. Annoying.

It was clearly an accident. Cueto was small enough to fool Griffey, but after the first stab of the fork, the Kid just couldn't go through with it.

Maybe it's because I am a big Griffey fanboy and I've had a huge mancrush on him since I was like 12, but I never heard anything about him being bad in the clubhouse.

Colon, you're the greatest.

 

Wonder if he will make it through 8 innings. Almost scared of Jenks coming into this game and messing it up somehow.

Reputations sometimes follow people around for a while. I never head anything negative about Griffey during his Cincy days.

 

Colon starting to get the ball up in the zone. Might be time to pull him and tell him he did a great job.

f*** Brent Lillibridge, seriously.

Lillibridge, you freaking idiot. Tried to turn a double play on a play he had no chance to make. What a pathetic player.

Someone should tell WGN that i'd rather see the first pitch of an inning, then here about how many Hops are put in a damn beer.

He's trying to argue the call, but he very clearly dropped it. It never even got to his glove.

The 12 year old boy at 2nd owes us some runs now.

 

 

Damnit.

 

Anderson probably saved a run with the slide and throw there

You can't make miscues behind Bart. You just can't do it. Especially when you're a player who's entire game is predicated on f***ing defense.

Thanks, Lillibridge.

 

Don't let the door hit you on your way to Charlotte.

 

Welcome Jayson Nix to the big league team.

What in the world is Ozzie waiting for? You have to relievers up in the pen, get Colon out. Everyone at the park could see he was getting the ball up in the zone more.

You can't walk Russell Branyan with a 2 run lead and nobody on
