Sorry about that aweful Griffey diary idea . .

. . especially since I'm moving across town and will be without internet service until September 14 (thanks SBC!) when the Reds will be wrapping up a sweep of the Cubs.  Please Jerry, don't rest the regulars in September!  

See you all in two weeks, and have a great Labor Day weekend.  

Go Reds!  

Haven't reached the minimum yet . . how about the Bengals releasing Peter Warrick?  I'm not a fan of the move.  He's not as bad as some of the comments I've heard in the media.  

Go Bengals!

Griffey idea
It wasn't a lame idea, but I couldn't find any of the articles, though I did find one message board where some idiot was saying that Roger Maris was twice the player that Griffey was.  Could've fooled me.

Good luck on the move!

CNN/SI: Taking ABs aways from Kearns & Pena
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writers/jacob_luft/04/28/april28.chatter/

The good news for the Reds is that Ken Griffey Jr. hasn't gotten hurt yet. That might also be the bad news. Griffey has yet to hit a home run in 73 at-bats this season, a drought we might expect from an undistinguished outfielder such as Toronto's Alex Rios (zero homers in 285 at-bats) but certainly not from a member of the 500 Home Run Club. What's worse, Griffey doesn't cover center field well anymore and is taking away much-needed at-bats from talented youngsters Wily Mo Pena and Austin Kearns. It's a shame that injuries have derailed Griffey's homecoming in Cincinnati, but in the past few seasons at least The Kid has produced at the plate when he has been healthy. Is it fair to say Griffey is done?

Toby Baird, from Truckee, CA, had a pretty good response:  "Once he gets that first homer taken care of, we could see his power numbers start to look like they should."
