Somebody off-camera has good timing and a sense of humor.

So Bedard's return has been pushed back again. Remember when he was just missing one start because of something no one thought was serious? I don't think there's a poster on this site who'd be the least bit surprised if it came out in a few days that he was done for the year.

Not much of a chance we deal him now

We’ll probably hold onto him and hope he helps pitch us into the playoffs. Our return for him will likely be a Type B free agent at best. My God I hate Bill Bavasi.

Wlad hasn;t been hitting

But even if he is, sometimes people will put a second lead off hitter at 9th.

He doesn't seem like the "second leadoff" type at all though

If you want that, Cedeno at 9th (for speed) or maybe Gutz (for speed and OBP) would make more sense. Wlad seems like a guy who could be best utilized with guys on base, which isn’t going to happen much if he’s hitting behind the two guys hitting under .200.

Not for me.

The 5/90 interchange slowdown and the Mercer exit from 5N kill my commute. 509 – 99 is faster for that stretch during rush hour.

Given the speed with which progress is being made

this is a bit unfair. I know it’s tough to think it’s actually going to happen given the way these things usually unfold in Seattle, but…it IS happening. Commuter rail starts in what, a week? And the light rail stations are being built.
