EriKKKKKKKK Bedard --> Pain in the butt!

by PositivePaul on Mar 11, 2009 9:58 AM PDT

He's skipping today's start, because he's got some pain in his glutes. This was reported by Shannon Drayer on her most excellent MyNorthwest.com Mariners Baseball Blog.

Chris "Poor Mike Curto" Jakubauskas will get the nod today instead. And yet no one mentions the reunion of Willie Bloomquist and his former team??

The 2009 Battle for Grass Creek gets underway today, and Bedard's out with a pain in his butt. So nice of him to help lead us to victory!!!

Maybe we could get Erik Bedard to fill his rotation slot...

At least it's not his hip........

I fucking hate you Mariners

Rotoworld says it is his hip

Not the surgery hip though, the other one.

Definitely.

On Bedard, Wakamatsu said, “It’s in the muscle, not the hip. We felt it would be better to have him skip a start now, and have him throw a bullpen probably on Saturday. Hopefully, he’ll get back after that point.”.

“We’re not real concerned about it,‘’ Wakamatsu added. "We’ll see. But right now, we’re not concerned, because it’s not in the hip joint. It’s more of a muscle issue.”

Glutes can be a pain, you should excuse the pun.

I'd like Bedard to be a pain in my butt

The Gutierrez jokes fly because they're gay porn star jokes, not gay jokes.

There are plenty of gay porn stars that aren’t actually gay.

So... doing gay films is like the steroids of the porn industry?

Except it's not the battle for Grass Creek.

It’s the battle for Coyote Lake (which is halfway between Surprise and Peoria).

It's the battle for the Walgreens at Bell Rd and Hwy 303

Isn't that an Albertsons?

by Ezzra on Mar 11, 2009 1:16 PM PDT up reply actions

It's either an Albertsons or a Walgreens because that's all that's on Bell Rd pretty much

Seriously, does any city need a Walgreens every 3/4 mile on the same road?

When that city lets them sell liquor

And that liquor happens to be pretty damn cheap (by Seattle standards) I’m ok with it.

That's why I remembered the Albertsons

Apparently Phoenix AND Las Vegas do.

Seriously, if I told you “it’s an intersection with a Rebel Gas, Walgreens and CVS”, I’ve basically described 50% of the major intersections of roads in Las Vegas.

by eponymous_coward on Mar 11, 2009 6:05 PM PDT up reply actions

Phoenix and Las Vegas are the same city except for the big casinos

big, hot, sprawly, unattractive, and all chain-stored up.

I love that my parents are moving to Phoenix next year

I wanted them to move somewhere neat :( but no…they want to buy a place in Surprise. Unless it’s spring training I’m never going to visit them because of what you just said

Surprise is my favorite ST site

but yeah, Phoenix – not good. You don’t want to go down there between April and November anyway, unless you like 110 degree heat every damn day.

They're undecided about whether they're selling the house in McCall and staying there for the summers

I’m pressing very hard for them to do that.

But houses are incredibly cheap down there right now

It’s March 11th already! He should be gritting his way through this. Playing through injuries in ST is what separates the men from the boys.

Ahh...Erik Bedard.

Quotable

From pitcher Erik Bedard, who was being teased about “a strained ass.” "It’s the gluteus maximus," he said, then laughed. "OK, it’s my ass."

My favorite quote from that article.

"Have I seen a change in Yuni? No," Wakamatsu said. "We’re going to let him go down his road a little longer, then show him why he needs to change." …

Pretty impressed with Wakamatsu, probably helps a bit starting with a clean slate. But still…
