    another reason to love Griffey Jr.

    Adrian Beltre didn't want to discuss whether or not he'd be wearing a protective cup for Tuesday's start at third base. Beltre is getting fed up with the questions and jokes flying around the past three weeks since he injured a testicle while trying to field a ground ball without the proper equipment . . .

    When Beltre came up for his first at-bat, the theme for Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker" was played, a gesture from Ken Griffey Jr.

    That's pretty good stuff.
    Stick to your guns.

    I heard this yesterday and about drove off the side of the road laughing.

    God, I miss Junior. I know everyone was upset about the money and how it stifled the club (though he deferred so much), but he was professional all the way. And a nice guy.
