Pending an OK from Griffey cause he's a 10 and 5 player, he'll be wearing black and white tonight! Hopefully he stays healthy enough and can produce for the White Sox World Series run.

I'm saddened by the news seeing as I'm a Reds fan but happy for him. Hopefully the White Sox fans will be a little nicer to him than most of the jackasses in Cincy were. I just hope that Cincy gets something good but from the looks of it, they will only get cash.

They got two prospects: pitcher Nick Masset and second baseman Danny Richar. Richar was one of our top picks a few years ago, and Masset has pretty decent stuff, but probably needs a few more years to put it together. Not a bad trade for them at all.

That's good. Hopefully it will work out for both teams.

Center and platoon Swisher and Konerko at first base. Ozzie was saying he wants to sit Konerko for 4-6 games to give him a mental break. Also keep in mind that Griffey won't play every day most likely, so he'll probably split time with Anderson and Wise in center, or potentially DH to give Thome rest.

Edit: He also could be used as a very potent left-handed bat in pinch-hit situations, and as a defensive replacement for Dye / Quentin in later innings.

I hope he won't be playing to much center field. On ESPN radio this morning, they said the TV announcers for the Reds were ripping on him for not being able to cover right field.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.

      New, College Golfer Trying to Go Pro

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
