• George Sherrill is 1-0 with 15 saves and an ERA of 3.79
• Erik Bedard has started 6 games, with a 2-2 record and a 3.48 ERA.
• The Mariners have 16 wins.

If the trade is straight up, with those numbers, I’m not even sure that I pull the trigger. I want my money back. Or at least Adam Jones please.

So there are rumors flying around that the Cubs will sign recently-released centerfielder Jim Edmonds. Please don’t… please no. Edmonds is one of my least favorite baseball players of all time. Perhaps it’s because he was a Cub-killer when we was with the St. Louis, or maybe because he just seems like a smug punk.

The Cubs need a lefthanded bat, sure. But he’s old, and injury-prone. He’s a clubhouse leader. Do the Cubs need that? I suppose that if he is willing to take a limited role, and just contribute the small amount that I think he has in the tank to a Cubs championship run, it’d be ok. Well, I still don’t like it. Please don’t do it. You can find a lefthanded bat elsewhere.

Another Mother’s Day and more pink bats. I love the tradition that MLB and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure started two years ago to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research and awareness. On this Mother’s Day, I also wanted to send love out to my Mom. I love you, thanks for encouraging my love of sports.

So tell me again why Rich Hill was pulled from the rotation? I know that he’s been pounded this year, but I think I’d rather have him in the rotation and take his lumps and save Jon Lieber in the bullpen. He’s been successful in that role all season.

Lou, get Rich Hill back in the rotation, he’s the franchise.

CBSSports.com reports:

Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson failed a sobriety test while operating a 30-foot boat, then resisted arrest before being hit with pepper spray and dragged ashore by officers.

Cut him. Cut him now. Jerry Angelo and Lovie Smith should cut their losses on this guy. He’s only been trouble since the Bears drafted him and now they have a legitimate exit plan. Cut him.

For all of the crap that Richie Sexson gets here in Seattle, Thursday’s home run was his sixth of the season and 100th since becoming a Mariner. Richie hit the century mark in 463 games, that’s the fastest in team history. Alex Rodriguez reached 100 Mariner home runs in 470 games. I am a huge fan of Big Sexy, but I never thought I’d say that Richie was a more successful Mariner than A-Rod in any category. Nice work Richie, forget about the boos, and the strike outs, and just bask in the glow of 100. But not for too long. Your team needs you. And remember Richie, don’t swing at sliders in the dirt… they eat you up.
