IS THE KID ON HIS WAY HOME???

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.

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.

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  

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.

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  

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.

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.

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.
