Okay, he wasn't washing his truck, but it's odd that he's not saying how he broke his hand. If you break your hand doing something stupid, you tell the story of how you did it. When you're mum about it, you were doing something you weren't supposed to be doing.

CINCINNATI -- Ken Griffey Jr. couldn't avoid injury in the offseason.

The Cincinnati Reds' center fielder broke his left hand in an accident at home, the latest in a series of setbacks since he joined was traded to his hometown team for the 2000 season.

Griffey will have the hand in a hard cast for three weeks, then be re-examined, the team announced Friday. The club wasn't authorized by Griffey to give any details of how he was hurt.

General manager Wayne Krivsky wasn't sure whether Griffey will be ready for the start of spring training. The club will have a better idea when the hand is examined again in three weeks.

"It's just too early to tell," Krivsky said.

Griffey, who turned 37 last month, missed nearly a month early last season because of inflammation behind his right knee, and sat out 22 of the last 24 games after dislocating a toe.

The two injuries were par for the course for Griffey, who has been on the disabled list eight times since the Reds got him from Seattle in a trade before the 2000 season.

Asked if Griffey's injury would affect his offseason roster moves, Krivsky said, "It's not like we've got a game tomorrow. We're worried about getting him healed and going from there."

He probably punched a wall or something.

I'm convinced that the Karma Gods cursed Junior after he acted like a 2-year-old and demanded a trade to NOWHERE EXCEPT HIS HOMETOWN CINCINNATI REDS. He just hasn't caught a break (not literally, of course, hehe) since he pouted his way out of Seattle.
