Ken Griffey, Jr. May Not Return In 2010
Former Red Ken Griffey Jr. says he’s not sure if he’ll return for another year.
Mariners fans gave the Cincinnati native a standing ovation Sunday after their final game of the season.
The fans also cheered “One More Year,” asking Griffey to return to Seattle for another season in 2010. At the end of the game, he was carried off the field by his teammates.
The Mariners team Web site reports that Griffey is headed back to Florida to talk to his family. Griffey will be eligible for free agency next month.
Griffey’s last game with the team he started his Hall of Fame career with ended with a 4-3 over the Texas Rangers.

Japan celebrates Ichiro’s record
Ichiro Suzuki’s latest record-setting moment stirred up a new wave of national pride in his native country, as Japanese peers and fans alike saluted the baseball icon of two hemispheres.
From home run king Sadaharu Oh to office workers, people in Tokyo were stirred up by Suzuki claiming a ninth consecutive season with 200 hits, breaking the 108-year-old record he had shared with Willie Keeler on Sunday.
As reported by The Associated Press, one newspaper, the Yomiuri Shimbun, published a special edition headlined, “Ichiro breaks Major League record.”

Carp ready for second go-around
The first stint first baseman Mike Carp had with the Mariners this season was more of a get-acquainted period than anything else.
He had eight at-bats during the 16 days he spent with the team in June and July, playing in five games and getting three hits and one RBI in very limited duty.
Carp returned to Triple-A Tacoma on July 4, took a couple of days to regroup, and then got his swing back, helping the Rainiers get back into the Pacific Coast League pennant race. The race goes on without Carp as he rejoined the Mariners on Tuesday when big league rosters could be expanded.

Griffey out with left knee inflammation
Ken Griffey Jr. had an MRI exam on his left knee Tuesday afternoon to determine the extent of the discomfort that has kept him out of the lineup for the past five games.
The results showed inflammation, and Griffey should be ready to resume action on Thursday night when the Mariners open a four-game series against the Athletics in Oakland.
“He’s had some pain in this particular spot and he hadn’t had it there in a while,” manager Don Wakamatsu said. “It just showed up again.”
The 39-year-old Griffey had surgery on the knee last October.
