Dislocated shoulder diving in the outfield. :confused:

radiohead, lol. you beat me to it. I was just gonna post this upon reading it on sportsline.com

Boy, if it weren't for bad luck, Griffey would have no luck.

lolol

That's too bad. Perhaps it's the Mariners jinx. He should've stayed there!

man that guy that is winning that one auction for the graded 10 must be sick right now.

That is what I was thinking. I think Griffey is still a lock for the HOF though, even if he is done. Gold Gloves, near 500 HRs, etc.

Yeah, but if that guy was paying that much money for that card he was hoping Griffey would have a huge comeback year which it doesn't look like will happen.

Man! Grif sure has been prone to injuries from day 1. Remember he broke his pinkie finger in the shower his rookie year. I would love to have seen what his career would have been like relatively injury free.

:(

BGray

no doubt Bgray, that guy might have hit 1000 HR's.

gioperation...I was thinking the exact same thing when I heard Griffey got hurt.

lol.

He had an offer of $9400 and that still didn't meet his reserve price.

lol.

That's karma, baby.

He's out at least six weeks and could be gone for the season.

wow, already, it's possible to miss the ENTIRE season?

Well, at least he go injured on the field, where everyone can see it.

Unlike athletes who get injured in the off-season by "falling over their dog"

lolol. Some dude actually used that as a reason for a wrist injury, but I forgot who.

And let's not forget Jeff Kent, who badly hurt his wrist from falling down while washing his truck, lolol.

Of course, rumors strongly suggested he injured it motorcycle riding.

Wasn't it Brian Griese who tripped over his dog? He also fell walking down a driveway because he was drunk. Bring on Plummer!

same old same old this guy should hang em up

radiohead..lololol. yea, I think it was Griese.

lol

the things athletes will make up for extra-curricular activities that get them hurt..so they don't invalidate their contracts.

Remember Ron Gant of Atlanta Braves...just a marvelous player. Then suffered nasty injury while motorcycling during the off-season. Never was the same.

He better if he wants to be able to move after playing baseball. He has 2 bad knees and now an injury to his shoulder.

The irony is didn't Phil Nevin nix a trade between him and Griffey before the season and now both of them have the same injuries.

But at least Griffey's is not for the season. What sucks with both Griffey's and Jeter's injuries are they are the shoulder they both use more for their swing. My pathological optimism for Griffey goes something like this: if Jeter can recover, so can Griff. Me in denial? Maybe.

Jeter's much younger than Griffey, and this is his first serious injury; he should heal faster.

Jeter is different because he is much younger and has not been injured as often as Griffey has been. The guy is suppose to be in his physical peak yet everytime he runs the bases or takes a swing he breaks an arm or a leg. It just seems like he has been cursed ever since he left Seattle.
