No, really. He does.

OK, so the headline is misleading and somewhat inflammatory. It's a blog. I'm in my underpants in my mother's basement, after all. (Have you ever wondered why all bloggers are either children of divorce or don't have fathers?)

"I felt good," Bedard said. "I just gave up a lot of runs."

re:

I also bet you are a stat boy who isn't convinced Jim Rice belongs in the HOF because you never ventured out of the basement to see him strike fear in the opposing pitchers.

This is Birdland

re:

Another good quote from Bedard in one of his post pitching interviews (I saw on mlb.com video) "I was throwing strikes. They were just hitting them. Nothing you can do about that."

Wow.

An ERA of 9.50? I bet the M's are pissed.

MelMo happy again!!

so...

what if bedard was, in fact, the primary beneficiary of the mazzone effect [o's edition]?

[snicker]

i doubt it, but i saw this and couldn't help but think, "damn...that's shitty, but for post game quotes? he's still got it!"

So, I said, uh, lama: how about a little something for the effort?

Yeah, and?

Monsieur Erik will right himself and life will go on. Now, if you really want to help another team bomb out with an ex-O on the mound, get over to the Rangers site and vote:

Rangers Poll:

Who should be the Rangers' fifth starter?
A.J. Murray
Eric Hurley
Luis Mendoza
Sidney Ponson

Dum-de-dum-dee-dee. Oh, you're back. There, isn't that better? Now put on some pants and an Orioles t-shirt, go upstairs and have a chocolate Easter egg on the house. Guts is going to start the opener, Nick may just hit two, we're going to lead the league for a good 24 hrs. and Petey's illegal campaign contributions will be discovered shortly after the final out-- in time for the early evening news and the next headline cycle.

It's gonna be a great day.

Forget it, Jake. It's Birdland.

I believe him

you can have great stuff and get shelled. Its not an uncommon occurence for pitchers.

It's only spring training

He'll probably be fine...guys have shitty springs followed good regular seasons all the time

He started

kinda slow last year, didn't he?

That said though, there's part of me - a small part - that almost hopes he has a bad season, for no other reason than the prospect that for once the club did the right move at the right time.
