Vengeance

Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 600th home run last night in a game against the Florida Marlins last night in a game the Cincinnati Reds won 9-3. But it wasn't all smiles in the Cincinnati box as ownership realized that fans coming out to every game in hopes of seeing him hit the historic home run would now be gone. They will now be forced to rely on their actual fans for attendance. "Thanks to this idiot Griffey we are now entering one of the darkest eras for this franchise," said team president Robert Castellini. "There was one reason, and one reason only people were coming out to see our awful team, and that was the hope of seeing him hit this ball. Now, because he's such a selfish arrogant jerk he has ended our hopes of having anyone come out to see us."

There was hope Griffey could keep the home run suspense up all season, as he had only hit 2 homers in the past 45 days. But that hope was dashed Monday when he sent a 3-1 pitch over the wall off of Mark Hendrickson. His teammates were also feeling slighted by the act. "How dare he," said rookie Jay Bruce. "Who does he think he is destroying our season like that? We had one thing to look forward to this year, and that was it. Now we just go back to playing baseball in front of an empty stadium? People in Cincinnati barely remember the team is here, most think it was contracted back in the 90's. My mom would be ashamed if she knew I played for this team, so I just tell her I have a job she can be proud of, like crack dealer." Indeed, most people do not even know the Cincinnati Reds are still a team. Many believe The Great American Ballpark is a giant baseball theme restaurant.
