My feelings exactly. This is rough on me.

Re: Griffey Jr Traded to the White Sox (Pending Griffey Approval)

OMG!! Fantastic news!!!! This is huge, and I don't care at all about the return. lol

Griffey just brought 8 years of losing with him from Seattle after our '99 amazing season. Let the new era of Reds baseball begin.

Yeah, it was all Griffey's fault.

It's definitely Griffey's fault the Reds have been bad for a decade.

I'm guessing 2500 was being sarcastic.

I wish we could trade you to Reds.com. I wouldn't even care about the return!!!!!

Somehow, we would have been racking up NL Central titles had it not been for Griffey. Steve Parris would have won a few Cy Young awards were it not for Griffey bringing his losing ways here. Sean Casey would have won the batting title each and every year if it weren't for Griffey. Don't party too hard.

Griffey hasnt approved the deal. Word will come yay or nay by noon, sources tell me. The White Sox dont have an obvious fit. The only assumption to make is that they make a deal, clearing the way for Junior to DH... or they play Junior in centerfield... with all that implies. Griffey has always said he wanted to win a championship. The White Sox are in 1st place... hard to imagine this doesnt go through...

Jimmy Haynes, Danny Graves, Jose Acevedo, Joe Mays, Eric Milton, Jimmy Anderson, Ramon Ortiz, Paul Wilson and COUNTLESS others had nothing at all to do with it....

Yep....it was all Junior.....
