FalconBlog--Triumphs and Trials in the BGSU Falcon Nation

Say it Ain't so ken

Ouch. I cannot say how disappointed I am. I mean, keeping it in perspective, we all know that even this year we didn't get the Griffey we traded for.

He's now a one-dimensional offensive player...low BA, good power. Not only doesn't he steal, but he can barely run from second to home. Good defense. Good arm.

But his presence in the lineup added an energy and a strength we will be missing without him.

Not to mention the fan appeal. It was just great to have him in the lineup.

And he was elected to start the All-Star game, and was set for the HR derby. Gone. I really am sick about it.

Now, it looks like another season like all the rest. He's out at least 5 weeks--they seem to fear many more on the radio today.

Our shallow lineup is all the more exposed now. Still, we rallied for a win today to finish out 3/4.

I'll do a mid-season wrap up in the next couple days. Suffice it to say that if this team, with its injuries, will be lucky they to finish .500.

They better hope Sean Casey doesn't tail off in the second half again.
