Meanwhile, Erik Bedard made an unscheduled appearance on a bullpen mound before Thursday's game. There was no plan to have him throw, but he told pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre he was ready.
"He looked good; he went a little hard today," Riggleman said. "We don't know yet if he's going to be able to pitch for us before the season's over, though."
I think a good nickname for Erik Bedard would be Madeline. Because he's French and a little girl.

Goddamn pussy, never wanting to pitch.
He’s a clubhouse cancer. And has girl parts. lol.

If you believe you must be big
in order to be tough
then you should get to know me
I’ll teach you other stuff.
I’m Madeline, I’m Madeline
I’m not that big at all.
I’m Madeline, I’m Madeilne
But inside I’m tall!
I may be teeny-tiny.
I may be quite petite.
But when you get to know
you’ll see I’m really neat!

If Bedard makes another start this year, I would love to see this as his embedded gamethread song.
BrianL - September 12, 2008
I can already tell that by 2010 there are going to be songs for every game thread of the season

I know you're being sarcastic
But he is, in fact, made from papier-mache. (Which is also French!)
Luscious James - September 12, 2008
Never trust the French!

My kids love those books.
“In an old house in Paris that was covered in vines
Lived 12 little girls in two straight lines… the smallest one was Madeline.”
Now every time I read them I’ll be re-writing them in my head.

Rewrite time!
In a stadium in Seattle, where the bossmen are ’tards
Worked a bunch of frustrating pitchers, the most injured one was Bedard
If you believe that you must be a vet
to achieve the highest rung
then you should work for the Mariners
and trade away the young
He’s Erik Bedard, he’s Erik Bedard
He’s save the M’s from harm
He’s Erik Bedard, he’s Erik Bedard
Until he hurts his arm
He may not talk to the media
and not help carry the load
But when he takes the pitchers mound
his elbow might explode!
He’s Erik Bedard, he’s Erik Bedard
He heals very very slow
He’s Erik Bedard, he’s Erik Bedard
At least we have Morrow

I'll bet Baker jumps right on this story

Bedard isn't hurt...
Trust me. He’s protecting himself on the advice of his agent.
As for nicknames, well this isn’t a nickname, but I have found myself calling dumb things I see, in and out of baseball, Bedarded.
I saw the most ridiculously stupid TV show last night – a Jerry Springer hosted American Idol rip – and I’m telling you, that was truly Bedarded.

If I was Bedard, I'd want to protect myself from catching suckitis from Washburn, Silva, and Batista too.
BrianL - September 12, 2008
I am honestly wondering what he is protecting himself from.
Losses?
Sec 108 - September 12, 2008
Further injury in a season that doesn't matter.
This isn’t a personal attack on Bedard at all, but we all know he’s made of glass. He might want to save himself for when people are watching and the games matter.
Teej - September 13, 2008
I've never dismissed it
but I’ve never really seen a reason for him to fake it. How does it benefit him?

Well. Huh.
Matthew - September 17, 2008
What an unmitigated disaster.
Omerta - September 13, 2008
I wish someone would have told us he was so injury-prone.
Teej - September 13, 2008
This thread suddenly makes me feel like I've been a NASCAR fan for the last 4-6 years.
The M’s only make left turns and keep driving in a circle, the fans drive me nuts, and the occasional fiery wreck going into turn 4. Or in Bedards’ case, when they dropped the green flag. Then again coming out of the pits. Isn’t he a talking head on Baseball Tonight now?
