Bedard Gets More Spotlight

by IcebreakerX on Mar 27, 2008 12:23 PM PDT

SURPRISE, Ariz. – Erik Bedard’s grace period ended Wednesday afternoon, amid the light desert air and beneath a high sky, a soft breeze angling toward right field, in a place where fat fastballs and imprecise curveballs hold no true significance.

EDIT: It's 4 AM JST. I can't read worth shit.

Basically, writer decides to write bloated article on how Bedard has been shittacular this spring, making it sound like our trade was a hunk of crap. At least, it sounds like that when it's 4 AM and you're inexplicably awake at that time.

Huh?!

HIJACK (sorry)

What the hell kind of line up is this?

Seattle AB R H RBI BB SO LOB AVG
Bloomquist, SS 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 .207
Kiger, 2B 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 .357
Vidro, DH 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 .172

Halman, RF 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .000
Carroll, CF 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .000

Who the hell is "Prettyman?" And why isn't he the greatest player of all time?

Also, apparently I don't understand how spring training works, because Triunfel pinch hit yesterday and got a sacrifice fly. I thought he wasn't at spring training.

...and now I'm here

Hey, a Travis Chick siting!

2/3 of an inning, 6R, 3BB, 0K. Hmmm. That could've gone better.

If there's one thing I know to be true about spring training

it's that it matters.

Shit, Jeff

I think I've finally caught your hatred of Spring Training this year. In the days of yore I'd always look forward to spring training, I'd check the daily box scores, and I'd keep up with the stats. This year I've watched two of the games on TV, checked about 5 box scores, and haven't even looked at the stats.

I reject your reality and substitute my own!
