Frightened Bedard refuses to face mighty Orioles

In a rather unsurprising turn of events, Erik Bedard will not be making his scheduled return to Baltimore start tomorrow, sitting out with what is being called "something wrong with his hip, the baby."
If you ask this journalist, it sounds like nothing more than Bedard, the ex-Orioles ace, being terrified to face his former teammates, who are currently riding a three-game winning streak and have embarrassed his new team on consecutive days, scoring demoralizing victories in front of sellout crowds at Camden Yards.
Such cowardice on display from what was once a respected man about town! Such lack of intestinal fortitude that it begs one to ask, "Is this the guy we traded? Why were we ever reluctant to do so?"
March on, Adam Jones. March on, Shutdown Sherrill. Play with your heads high, for you are winners. This "Buh-dard" that was once so highly regarded among Orioles fans is showing his true colors: Yellow, all over.

D'oh!
I'm going to the game tomorrow. Was really hoping to see him...
"Baltimore? That's like being hit in the head with a crowbar once a day."
That is what winning does to
opposing pitchers. This decision is a perfect example of the vast amount of respect the Orioles have drawn thus far this season.
Bedard
I think he just may be hurting, you cant pitch with a
bum hip.
This is such Bullshit!
I was so pumped to see Guts vs Bedard. I use to like Bedard but after this it just show how much of a pussy he really is. God am glad we got rid of this guy.

Pussy
I had tickets to go to friday or sunday. I chose sunday (tomorrow) to see Guts vs Bedard. Now, I get "guy who should be ace but hasn't panned out yet to potential" vs guts.
I'm a fan of Bedard, always been, but this is a pussy move if I have ever seen one.
Felix Hasn't Panned out?
He was still one of the better pitchers in the AL last season. Saying that he hasn't panned out implys that the guy is barely holding on to the major league roster spot.
well I dunno
He wasn't top ten in the AL or anything, but he was 21. He's good already, though, which is a lot more than most dudes his age can say.

Man, those dudes over on lookoutlanding...
...are panicking. Maybe I'm missing the sarcasm but they seem pretty perturbed by Bedard's pussing out.

reckon it's half-and-half
This wouldn't be the first time that Bedard's manliness has been questioned. Remember when he was supposed to be back in a few weeks in '05 and it turned into ages? Or at least it seemed, since we were "in a pennant race" and he left with a 2.08 ERA.
He gets this shit all the time. I figured it was worth taking the piss, all things considered. Plus maybe he inherited Adam Jones' mysterious degenerative hip.

i think he doesn't want to pitch against old friends
he's a weird guy.. and maybe sensitive.
or, maybe he's worried that they might hit him well ... in which case everyone will be on him that the deal was a bust.
or, maybe he does fear the 2008 Orioles Murderer's row led by Melvin Mora and Luis "RBI Machine" Hernandez

The Mariners think he'll be ready to pitch on Tuesday
How convenient.

"I was here for so long, you miss it at first," Bedard said of the Baltimore, the team that drafted and developed him. "But eventually, it will go away. You're with another team and you concentrate on that."

"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again."
