To avoid getting this bad boy locked, I'll avoid posting the lineup. Fay had this to say:
Ken Griffey Jr. is out. General soreness. I believe it's his knee, although he wouldn't say specifically. He may be able to play tomorrow. "Hopefully," he said.
Dusty Baker would not say if Griffey is available to pinch-hit. "This ain't football," he said. "I don't want Charley (Manuel) to know."

#600...DL.
Could happen...hopefully not, but it could.

I know how Griffey feels. I have general soreness nearly every morning when I get up for work.

I wonder if JR might miss the next 8 games.....just sayin'

Yeah, just like he played almost every inning of the homestand.
Sorry you didn't get it.

Uh, what is wanting to hit historic #600 at home for $500 Alex?
The team is 1 game under .500. I doubt he wants to sit. and he's been heating up too.
Dubito Ergo Cogito Ergo Sum.
The Reds will have to pull off a HUGE turnabout or they will come home back in the cellar.
IIRC they stated on TV a few days ago that his knee was bothering him a bit.
Oh I don't think it's the case at all. If anyone's accustomed to reaching milestones on the road, it's Junior.
I just saw a chance to play the game and frankly, I'm in need of some more Turtle Wax.
Hopefully Jr. is alright. These little day-to-day type injuries have put him out for some time in the past. What if he hits 600 in Florida? What's the saying? If he hits 600 and no one sees it does it really count?
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"
-Walt Whitman
I'll resist the urge to say this could be a blessing in disguise.
Whoops.
