Griffey Officially Out for Season

[nilodnayr]

Do we really want to be facing no name outfielders at the end of September?

 

Better than facing Jay Bruce. Thanks Wayne, for being completely incompetent!!!!

I'm thinking about the horror if we would have acquired Griff at the deadline only to watch him get injured with 9 games left.

 

I still wanted him though.

 

Yeah, that would stink. I wanted the Man too and I wonder if the OF is as bad as Dunn said. I don't remember any Cub OF's complaining about it.

 

I have heard either Pat or Len say that the Cubs are way overdue for a complete resurfacing of the field, however.

 

Really? Then they better do it this off season then. I hope this ownership thing doesn't stop them from doing it.

 

People have mentioned in another thread that the field renovation might be put on hold this offseason because of the team being bought. Hopefully it still goes through as planned.

A shame for Griffey. A great baseball player in a brittle body.
