Bedard update

by Eyebrows on Apr 16, 2008 11:53 AM PDT

Didn't see this info from anywhere else, so I thought I'd share it here. I figure this info is ok to share here, because it's available on the non-member version of the page. From Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus:

"Torn labrum." That's what I'm hearing, but it's not what you're thinking. Bedard is having significant inflammation in his hip that one source tells me has been diagnosed as a small tear of his acetabular labrum. This shouldn't be a cause for panic; knowing that the injury is a small tear doesn't change the prognosis. The Mariners will need to reduce the inflammation and figure out if pitching is going to continue to irritate the injury. If it can't be controlled, Bedard will need surgery, which is normally minor and has a solid track record for returns. It would cost him a couple months, to be sure, but players like Derek Lowe and Justin Duchscherer have come back from the injury. The bigger question is when and how this happened. The M's will be hard at work trying to figure out how to get Bedard back out there and how to keep him back out there over the next ten days. (Calls to the Mariners for comment were not returned by press time.)

What about the dreaded torn new asshole?

That’s an injury I’d like Bavasi to get. Provided by me, of course.

I'm not sure if that's the worst

but we can always ask Kaz Matsui how bad it is. One would think he’d have a pretty valuable perspective.

Actually, I think Kaz tore his primary asshole.

I’ve got to believe the new one is much worse.

Anyone else felt their lunch coming up when they saw the words 'torn labrum'?

I’m glad it’s not THAT labrum. Here’s hoping he recovers one way or the other. I can live with surgery: if you believe this team’s screwed, this team is honestly pseudo-screwed one way or another.

I still am holding out hope that he can start on April 24, since it seems like there's at least a chance...

To be honest, no

Pitchers don’t go on the DL with a hurt hip and then turn out to have tears in their shoulders. I just assumed Carroll was being cute.

if the torn labrum thing is true someone in the FO is going to end up with torn labia. I’m pissed off.

One of the many benefits of pessimism/realism:

When everything goes wrong, and you’re in a dark, horrible, excruciatingly painful place, you can always laugh at the optimist and say ‘I told you so.’

I seem to remember a really cool, big bridge in Seattle.

It was near the cool looking campus and a harbour with a few nice yachts knocking around.

I was really envious when I saw that campus – compared to the dump I went to in Sheffield it looked amazing. Like out of a hollywood film. And American women are much fitter and dirtier looking than ours.

To conclude:

If I was going to jump off of a bridge in a Mariner related suicide, it would be that one.

that's the 90

pretty sure you’re thinking of the 520, which is north a bit

That would be the approach to 520, i believe

not sure if it has a name.

And by "approach"

I mean, the stretch of 520 after you get off I-5 and before you’re on the floating bridge proper. The yacht club you saw would be the Seattle Yacht Club.

Bollocks.

Now I am confused, for this bridge seems equally mighty. I want to jump off of them both – I just can’t decide. :(

this is the one you were thinking of

there’s two bridges across the lake, and 520 (evergreen point) is the one that goes by the university and the yacht club. Added bonus – it’s a 40 year old floating bridge, so you don’t really need to jump off it, you can just stand on it and wait for a 65mph wind, which will bring the whole thing down, just like it did the old I-90 (other bridge).
