    Griffey pulled from game due to leg injury

    Top 12, rounding 2nd, right leg gave out. Got to 3rd and immediatly left the game. He walked off under his own power, but you have to wonder

    He may not reach 36 HRs now.
    If I had 3 wishes... One of my wishes would be to make a select few of you Pirates Fans.

    Really a shame, I was hoping he would make it through the last month. Hopefully, though, he'll be able to. Could've been a precautionary move due to his history.

    He just tied Mickey Mantle on the all time list too.

    ...and the Kolbster coughs up a grand slam.

    Didn't appear to be, he hobbled to 3rd, got there, and pretty much left, didn't wait for the trainers.

    Sprained foot defenitely seems light compared to anything he had in the past few years

    Should be day to day and back in a week I bet..

    Congrats on #536 though... something that might've been passed years ago but better late than never

    This guy is an injury magnet. I hope he will be alright.

    I hope it's not serious, but this is the exact reason they should have traded him to the White Sox and the exact reason I was so adamant about the Yankees not trading for him.

    I hope he comes back within a week. There's no discussion, he is the NL comeback player of the year. The problem is he needs to come back again. I wish Junior well, his bat has been hot and he's shown a lot of the critics that he still has that strong love for the game of baseball.

    Ken Griffey Jr. will have surgery on his left knee and right hamstring Monday, presumably ending a stellar comeback season for the oft-injured Cincinnati Reds star. The 35-year-old center fielder is expected to be ready for spring training.
    So he'll be back by next year, but who is to say he's going to stay healthy next year? Especially since he'll be yet another year older. The Reds made a horrendous decision by not trading this guy when they had the chance.

    I think they tried, but teams weren't gullible enough to pull the trigger.
    Oh you gonna mess with Farnsworth, he ain't no joke.

    I thought he only tweaked his foot, now he needs surgery? Elaboration please.

    This guy gets injured more than Jose Canseco.

    I'm not sure how seriously. I'm sure at some point in time 'we' wanted him, too, much as it pains me to say that. Just seems unfair for us to blame Cincy for not moving him when we aren't in any way privy to the negotiations.

    It just took longer than usual this year. Unfortunate, really.

    There were reports all over that the White Sox wanted him and that the Red ownership did not want to trade him because they felt the organization was worth more with Griffey on the team than without him. As for us, I sincerely doubt we wanted him - he's exactly what we don't need. The Reds could have gotten rid of that contract, and they failed to do so.

    That sounds more like damage control from the Reds' front office.
