No dispute: The guy's best playing years are behind and at present he's hitting a buck seventy-six as of Mother's Day.But if you wanted somebody to watch your back, wouldn't you want the Rottweiler of the Seattle Mariners clubhouse... Outfielder Mike Sweeney? Loyal, protective, willing to go to the wall for you?
While the local media spew stories of future Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. sleeping in the clubhouse Saturday night, Sweeney came out swinging in support of his teammate. Sweeney was quoted in a sportswriter's Twitter account:
We will support and fight and take a bullet for Ken Griffey Jr. if we have to. He's our teammate. Nothing is going to divide this clubhouse, especially a makeshift article made up of lies. We don't think there are two players who said that (about Griffey sleeping). I challenged everyone in that room -- if they said that to stand up and fight me. No one stood up.
If I needed a dog to guard my house against smash-and-grab punk burglars in the lovely Rainier Valley, I'd want the Mike Sweeney version of Good Dog, Carl. Sic 'em, boy.
