so, about last night....
*(bad-da-bUM)*
seriously folks ... did anybody get number of that truck? it had canadian plates.
but here is silver lining: adam jOnes went yard and erik bedard went on DL. bedard really is a wuss. he takes himself out of more games than any professional athlete in history. wayward O is beginning to suspect that bedard has an abiding dislike for humanity and simply wants to take money and run.
flatbrim has 6 saves. which smart guy called arrival of george sherrill the "most under-rated and under-hyped player in erik bedard trade hype fiasco"? oh it was me, Wayward O.
you are welcome. here are some other things that are true:
-- baltimore has low-ish payroll and good young talent. there is no reason to wait on signing a blue-chip cleanup hitter. that is canyon-sized gaping hole in orioles current makeup. and no luke scott is not answer. he's a guy who protects cleanup hitter, not a 4-man himself.
-- wayward O understands why trembO is sticking with luis hernandez. despite foibles, he plays the game right.
-- there is much talent in the American League and orioles have barely tasted it yet. going back to the cleanup hitter lamentations: without one, we're going to get our doors blown off in a lot of games this year.
-- melvin mora is showing characteristic flashes of brilliance mixed with selfish tendencies on the basepaths but hasn't blatantly bunted or run team out of an inning .... yet. he will save that for july when team "needs a spark." heheh. melmo. remember when we all wanted melmo to get his payday? you know you did too...
-- brian roberts thinks he's king of hill right now. you can see it on his face every time he steals second. but brian is useless as a hitter with runners in scoring. he lacks focus at the plate in RISP situations. if he's going to be a top-tier second baseman a la robby cano or chase utley, he's got to do more with the bat.
-- it's becoming abundantly clear why brewers waived greg aquino.
-- did i mention our lack of cleanup hitter?
that is all. have nice spring day!

Bedard: in neutral until he gets his big pay day in late 2009.
Roberts: not meant to be a big rbi guy - he's focussed on his OPS. RISP is somebody elses's problem.
