Sleeping Griffey ...

If only those two unnamed sources were as 'Ride or Die' as Designated Hitter Mike Sweeney ... We wouldn't have the tales of baseball favorite Ken Griffey Jr. dozing in the Seattle Mariners clubhouse chair - during their game against the Baltimore Orioles last Saturday night.




According to FoxSports.com, Mike Sweeney made it clear to the media, "We will support and fight and take a bullet for Ken Griffey Jr. if we have to. He's our teammate. Nothing is going to divide this clubhouse, especially a makeshift article made up of lies."

Sweeney and mot of the Mariners are sticking together in not speaking to the press ... that is if The Tacoma News Tribune are in the vicinity. Such animosity has been focused on the Tribune and its News seeing as that they are the publication that printed the story that were informed by two inside unnamed sources. So much for No "I" in "Team," right?

Besides if it weren't for those two knuckleheads we wouldn't have such ridiculous gossip that really could mean less killing trees .. well unless the Mariners lost, then it'd be a whole different ballgame.

So much for the good ole boys club. Apparently the memo was never passed along that whatever happens behind closed doors was meant to stay there. Listen, if the locker room was meant for public access .. there'd be a live feed during the game. Although the thought of Ken Griffey Jr. pulling a "A Manny" makes me giggle and would make for good conversation over some brews - You.. Just .. Don't .. Tell... especially not the press about something that has nothing to do with the game of baseball.

It's a code.. and Unspoken Rule.
Whether it's snoozing in the clubhouse to late night activities - there are just some things we really don't need to know.

Plus, it's Ken Griffey Jr., the kid.. the one that was pretty much birthed into the game of baseball. Please, for the sake of baseball fans, don't expose anymore of the baseball favorites when trying to break that big story.
