    I don't see this going well at all, but those seven games Griffey plays before he hits the DL should be fun.

    Although it'll be good to see him in a Mariner's uniform again, I really don't see what the big deal is. Seattle is going nowhere this season and Griffrey's best days are behind him. The only positive I see from this is attendance rising for Seattle. Personally, I wish Junior had gone to New York to DH despite his vow to never play for the Yankees. I think that's the best place for him to potentially get a ring. He's a great player and he's more than deserving of a championship. Good Luck Griff!

      he could hit .200 and i'd still be glad to have him back.

    It will be nice to see The Kid take his final swings as a Mariner. Glad this worked out for him personally.
