Yes, the Mercker who had Tommy John surgery two days after Guardado.  I hate to sound catty, but these kinds of innuendos / deals make me feel like my favorite baseball team is a junk dealer – finding things in the pile that others have discarded and seeing if there is any use out of them.  If that’s how it’s going to be, I guess we should embrace it.  Perhaps the front office should synch it up with their marketing programs:  “First thousand fans in attendance get a free shopping cart…”

“All Right You Big Dummy…” – Griffey finally came clean and said that he was playing with his kids when he injured his wrist.  He’s probably just one of those accident prone people in life.  As for why Griffey is injured so much, it could be his body finally breaking down with age, it could be that he lives life on the edge, or it could be that Tiki statue he picked up in Hawaii, when he was there with his brothers Peter, Bobby and Greg.  Regardless, it shouldn’t be a surprise anymore and certainly must figure into the calculus the Reds front office makes in determining staffing for their outfield.
