The Griff Retires

Not much to say about Ken Griffey, Jr., other than he was pretty badass in his heyday. After 22 pretty decent seasons, The Griff decided to hang up the bat [on G-dubs face...jk] for good at the ripe old age of 40. The 630 home run hitter, and shoe-in hall of famer, didn't appear at Safeco Park in Seattle this evening, but instead, released a statement announcing the news.

Right on, I know the Pac Northwest will love you for life. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors...assuming you have some!

Break out the cracker jack.

Spring training has officially started. There are a bunch of games going on today. Most won't be televised, but you can go to www.mlbtv.com and get some sort of sweet package so you can stream them on the internet from your office. Make sure to keep the window small, and the volume down, so your boss doesn't catch you. Just sayin'.

The most exciting game today will probably be the Boston Red Sox facing the World Series Losers, the Tampa Bay Rays at 1:05pm ET.

Get into it.

The LAme Angels of Anaheim are playing Colorado. The Dodgers are up against the Mariners, and Philly is going to whoop Cincinnati.

Good times.

Photo day images are up!
