Ken Griffey Jr Injured (Cut / Paste): Almost Made it Through the Season

MLB, Cincinnati Reds

Almost.

Ken Griffey Junior was schedule to take today off, and only play a few times over the final week, but once again his season will end with an injury.

Ken Griffey Jr. was due to get a day off today. It came one day too late. Griffey suffered a lower abdominal strain as he prepared to make a throw in the eighth inning of the Reds' 3-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field Wednesday night.

"Oddly enough, I was going to give him (today) off," Reds manager Pete Mackanin said.

The injury looked worse (hopefully) than it actually was. I think we were all rooting for Junior to go on one more HR run to finish the season. We'll have to wait until next April for 600.

1	This reminds why I think Griffey might be one of the few players who would actually still shock me if I found out he used steroids. Just imagine how good his numbers could be if he juiced and was to keep himself from getting injuried so often.

1	Lower abdominal strain? Are they sure? This is like the one time I saw Prior get hit in his man region with a ball and Bob Brenly said he got hit in his elbow. Griffey was not grabbing his lower ab region, no, he was grabbing quite a bit lower. And man, it looked like it hurt!

Agreed ... I'm not entirely sure what qualifies as 'lower abdomen' but whatever Griffey injured was below the belt and caused a noticeable limp. Reminded me of Nomar's awful tear.
