Hit it, Larry!
Erik Bedard has been scratched from tomorrow's start with what Wakamatsu termed "slight shoulder inflammation."
...
The second part of the bombshell is that Brandon Morrow will make the start in Bedard's place.
Brandon Morrow has already thrown 42 and 52 pitches in separate appearances so far this year, so given his pitch count of 60 tomorrow, I'm not really concerned about that part of this thing. He's getting the nod out of necessity, and will be on his way to Tacoma shortly thereafter. With Bedard, though...the team says it's not serious, and that he could probably start, but when you combine "shoulder inflammation" with an already injury-prone starter and a cliff-diving rate of swinging strikes, it's impossible to stay calm. Impossible. Erik Bedard could run a marathon and tell me his legs were sore the next morning and I'd worry they were about to fall off.
I hate this. I hate having to agonize over every little ache. Please be nothing.

I wonder what insulin Morrow's on.
I know there were times where I felt like shit a few hours after taking my shot and excercising.
Doubt it’s on the internet, but I wonder.

Not even Erik knows that he's hurt

Are you kidding?

Part of me thinks we'd be better off scratching RR-S from his start today and calling him up for tomorrow.
BrianL - June 12, 2009
In fact, I'm certail we'd be better off scratching RR-S from his start today and calling him up.
Who the hell has gone crazy in management?
BrianL - June 12, 2009
It's not performance enhancers - it's CRACK!
section331 - June 12, 2009
Awwww, Josh Hamilton's sharing.
craig3410 - June 12, 2009
HA!
section331 - June 12, 2009
He's not listed as tonight's starter on Tacoma's site
Not sure if he ever was though
Fuckmikereilly - June 12, 2009
From what I read on Baker's blog last night RR-S was supposed to start today since he was scratched last night.
BrianL - June 12, 2009
So much for selling Bedard at his high point. Should have traded him a week and a half ago.

Good afternoon, friends!

FUCK YOU DOG
craig3410 - June 12, 2009
Scrappy, my little puntable pal.
Don’t you have other franchises to ruin?
James F'n X - June 12, 2009
Mike Vick is a free man...
Watch yourself…
SethGrandpa - June 12, 2009
Hey what's up?
Robert - June 12, 2009
I'm searching for a curse word, but nothing seems vulgar enough...
SethGrandpa - June 12, 2009
SILVA!
CapSea - June 12, 2009
Morrow in
Game IS Beginning!

You know what that dog needs?
Some weed.
craig3410 - June 12, 2009
Which dog?
Lanky - June 12, 2009
Scapedog.
On another note, the scapegoat dog shares a name with my father’s dog, who got run over in January. He’s still depressed about it.
craig3410 - June 12, 2009
Apparently my subtle commentary on your reply fail was a little too subtle. I'll try again.
REPLY FAIL.
Lanky - June 12, 2009
Yeah, we fucking get it.
Matthew - June 12, 2009
Butthol has a new Alt-username?!
Coach Owens - June 12, 2009
The Coach is back!

I hate this sarcastic "good news" thing
I was hoping it was related to Gutierrez being healthy.
katal - June 12, 2009
WHAT?!?
royalcurve - June 12, 2009
I hate this. I hate having to worrying about him.
I have irrational love for the man.
royalcurve - June 12, 2009
Larry Stone has a post up
Quotes Wak, who seems to indicate that Morrow may transition to a starter here instead of Tacoma. Lets hope not…
Fuckmikereilly - June 12, 2009
Larry LaRue?
ThundaPC - June 12, 2009
Nope Stone
Fuckmikereilly - June 12, 2009
Weird
It’s under Baker’s blog though.
Fuckmikereilly - June 12, 2009
NO WHY GOD
Aaron Campeau - June 12, 2009
Entertaining!
Matthew - June 12, 2009
9-man rotation!
Matthew - June 12, 2009
And earlier today on KJR Lee Pelekoudas was quoted as saying there are no plans to make Morrow a starter!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!
BrianL - June 12, 2009
Nobody talks to Lee anymore.
Lanky - June 12, 2009
What changed now?
Why would he have needed to go to Tacoma as recently as a day or two ago, but now, today, it’s ok to develop him as a starter here?
Did he develop another pitch in secret?
Does he have a super secret identity, and he’s been pitching at some other club’s AAA field in a mask and a cape?
Spoomeister - June 12, 2009
Bedard got hurt...that's all that changed.
SethGrandpa - June 12, 2009
Maybe they're just trying to work a deal out to get Bedard to Philly or somethin'?
Not believing it, just hoping it….
Coach Owens - June 12, 2009
Nah. Clubs don't do that when in the middle of negotiating a trade for one of their pitchers.
katal - June 13, 2009
Well, at least this won't be boring.
waldo rojas - June 12, 2009
Couldn't they lie and say Bedard has the flu or something. I
Shoulder inflammation sure won’t help his trade value
Rudy4three - June 12, 2009
Best news I've heard all day!
Brian Floyd - June 12, 2009
They even say that Bedard could've pitched anyway tomorrow on the M's frontpage.
Slurvey - June 12, 2009
Rather be cautious now then pissed when he blows out his shoulder later
Brian Floyd - June 12, 2009
Tune in next week as Morrow tries out at shortstop!
Goose - June 12, 2009
With Mark Lowe at third base!
Fin - June 12, 2009
So... Trade?
Bearskin Rugburn - June 13, 2009
Hey wait this isn't good news at all.
Aaron Campeau - June 13, 2009
I wasn't going to say anything out of respect for the author but I noticed this as well
