IS THE KID ON HIS WAY HOME???

621sonics_kemp5732926_tiny by weaton4life on Comment 995 comments

Could the kid be coming back home to where it all began?<!-- TOKEN_1225340844858_TOKEN -->

Star-divide

 

Because Griffey announced that he will not be returning to the South Side next year could give us fans hope that just mabye the kid could play his remaing years as a M. Even though he is alot older now and the club would not really want him as a fan it would be fun to have him back. A great reason to go to games next season and mabye some support will show and some life in this city thats going through a bad period. Who knows what will happen i just hope to see #24 back in Seattle by opening day.

Do you think it could happen?

This desire to jump on everyone about grammar or formatting irregularities

has become so fucking annoying.

Just because it’s funny when Graham is an asshole to newbies doesn’t mean everyone should emulate his style.

You see, Graham is a bit like the Highlander… as long as there’s more than one… it makes life pretty shitty for the rest of us.

THANK YOU

I thought I was the only one who felt this way.

What would it take to sign him?

2 yrs/$8mm per? Or could he actually get more from some stupid team (probably us)?

by seamariners85 on Oct 29, 2008 9:34 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Not much

we would pay him because he would bring in money and fans to games meaning us

I love Ken Griffey Jr more than I love at least one and possibly both of my parents

and I do not want to see him in Seattle next year. He’s broken, and when he’s not broken he’s…not very good, and I wish he’d just go gracefully into the sunset.

As a goodwill ambassador/hitting coach, sure

as an active player, nope.

Fee-eye-iffed.

Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.

I wouldnt mind them signing him.

It would be something to see during this transition. And hopefully he’d be able to pull off a decent season, however unlikely.

by seamariners85 on Oct 29, 2008 9:39 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well, this season

he was a league average bat and a disaster in the field.

There’s a real chance that Mike Morse could outhit Junior this year, as could a number of minor league FAs. There’s no reason to bring him back in, other than nostalgia, and is that the road we want this franchise to travel down? It would be an incredible waste of money, and watching Junior fall apart in a Mariners uniform could be downright embarrassing.

I do

but remember, I’m the one pre-emptively giving up on ’09

by seattlebruin on Oct 29, 2008 10:32 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

We'd know that for sure if he were wheaton4life

Because no one would admit that.

Whereas, if he were whedon4life, that would be credible.

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

Yes.

Nothing personal, it’s just that we’re trying to OVERCOME being a crappy team, and at this point Griffey has nothing to contribute to that effort. 1995 was a long time ago, and it was fun, but let it rest in peace. And let Griffey be a drain on someone else’s payroll.

So were zubaz pants

I saw a guy in zubaz on Saturday. It was surreal.

I don't live in Seattle any more

but when I did I averaged 30 games a year, and one summer went to 80. I’m pretty sure I’m prepared to not care whether one is a season ticket holder or not.

I've never before read a word about Griffey's potential return to Seattle

You have been blessed with truly scintillating creativity; I am astonished.

Wait what?

When did he leave?

It has led to such intelligent discourse

and has never been discussed before.

Um... Weaton is clearly "4 Life"

which would imply that he likes to impregnate people… as many people as possible, as often as possible. Maybe up to 3 or 4 different women per night. This would make it statistically unlikely that he is “gay”.

And it would make it statistically probable that in 1-2 generations his spawn will outnumber the spawn of all the rest of LL combined.

by johnbai on Oct 30, 2008 4:03 PM PDT up reply actions   3 recs

He could be a gay

That just disagree with abortions.

I'm on dead guy #4

and tempted to pull an all nighter so I don’t have to get up at 4.30.

To answer your question.

Unless he’s been out clubbing, he’s probably been at home for a while. It’s pretty late.

You know what else isn't funny?

DL Hughley on CNN. Which is too bad because he’s usually pretty funny.

But Ted Williams has been dead for five years.

With his leadership

and our rotation of aces, we almost can’t lose.

Yeah we did loose with are aces

but we didn’t have Griff in CF to track down the fly balls our outfielders missed
