Oops, that last line was supposed to be outside the quote (it’s from me, in case you can’t tell).

I do love the fact that when asked the difference between this start and his (9 run) last start in New York, Bedard’s one-word answer was “Location” — leaving them wondering if he was talking about pitches or geography.

And the media is still pissy because Bedard makes their jobs harder:

Fastballs that flew past Boston’s flailing bats. Curves sharp enough to break the will of the Red Sox . Then, diving cut fastballs and tricky changeups.

So this is why Seattle traded five players to Baltimore for Erik Bedard .

”It was all right,” Bedard (4-3) said with a shrug of the shoulders.

The ace of few words gave more insight to whomever he was text messaging at his locker for five minutes instead of answering questions from the media.

Bummer, Mr AP guy. I guess instead of showing up half drunk and stoned to have sound bites handed to you you’re going to have to spend a little less of your time surfing for porn one-handed and, I don’t know, actually do a little work for your paycheck.

That was the Mariner’s first 1-0 win since Aug. 9, 2005. Two thousand and five.

The Mariners win not only this game but also the series against Boston.

USSM ponies are now running happy and free!

What sucks about this series is after winning two games on a total of five runs the team will figure they’re “back on track” and change nothing. McLaren’s and Bavasi’s jobs are saved! Halelujah!!

Was it just me, or did Bedard look kind of pissed tonight? We haven’t had a pitcher who succeeds through anger since Randy. Maybe it was having so many Red Sox fans in the stands, but whatever it was, let’s do more of it.

ESPN’s coverage of the game ends with a quote by Betancout, through an interpreter. I was not aware Betancourt used one, maybe hes trying to be Ichiro.

And now I lay me down to sleep, and pray the Baseball Gods my soul to keep, and for Brandon Morrow to not get injured!!!
