Guest alkeiper Report post Posted April 6, 2003 Choken- I stayed downtown a few days back in '94. I loved being able to shop, eat, and go back to the hotel without having to step outside once, thanks to the skywalks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted April 6, 2003 With all his recent injuries (although this one seems more freakish) I wonder how big a factor playing in Seattle back in the days of turf is with his current troubles. Al, should have been here for the riots. They were a hoot... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alkeiper Report post Posted April 6, 2003 As for Griffey, there's still hope. These haven't really been nagging injuries, just freak occurances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A good thing too, as soon as you step outside you'll get some guy coming up to you saying he needs money for a bus ticket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 6, 2003 Nope...He played about A month at Safeco since it came at the mid season...So He played His whole career on TURF until last year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted April 6, 2003 I mean more along the lines of how playing a decade or so on turf put more wear and tear on Jr's body than playing 81 extra games per season on grass would have done. I personally can't see how anyone can play on that artifical carpet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Downhome Report post Posted April 6, 2003 I instantly think of Kevn Nash personally. You know, coming back and then gettin injured almost instantly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mad Dog Report post Posted April 7, 2003 Great. Nice to know they were 96-67 and a game away from the playoffs the year before Griffey got there and since then the best they've done is 1 season where they were a few games over .500 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alkeiper Report post Posted April 7, 2003 Yeah, the Reds sucking has everything to do with Griffey, and nothing to do with Barry Larkin, Sean Casey, or their crummy pitching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted April 7, 2003 The Reds play well when Griffey is out because it takes pressure off the rest of the team. When Griffey comes back you have to find a place for him in the lineup, and it messes with chemistry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2003 On March 7th, I said this in the "Griffey Homers Three Times....He's BACK" thread. the season hasn't started. He's got more than enough time to get injured by April. Dames I should open up a business telling the future. Dames - The Bike is in the Basement of the Alamo.....

When Griffey comes back you have to find a place for him in the lineup, and it messes with chemistry. 1. Fuck chemestry. It's a load of crap. 2. Does Cincinnati have other center fielders competing for playing time? I've never seen another team hurt because they had to find space in the lineup for a guy with 470 career home runs.

Guest Mad Dog Report post Posted April 7, 2003 Well Griffey's gone for 6-10 weeks. And how can you rag on Casey? He's been a consistent .300 hitter for the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest alkeiper Report post Posted April 8, 2003 And how can you rag on Casey? He's been a consistent .300 hitter for the team. Except for last year, when he hit .261 and hit a mere 6 home runs. You can't get that kind of production from your first baseman and expect to win. Chemistry is not a load of crap. The Angels had great team chemistry last year and they won the World Series. They won because they had talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
