One for the memories

The Orioles will get to face southpaw Erik Bedard on Tuesday, giving them a first-hand chance to appraise the trade that sent him to Seattle. Bedard, who was sent to the Mariners in exchange for a five-player haul that included Adam Jones and George Sherrill, has never faced Baltimore before and said Monday that it’s just another game for him.

“You have to or else I’d probably get shelled,” he said of his mindset. “If I do, people would say that anyway. They’d say, ‘Oh, he was probably just nervous pitching against his former team.” You can’t win. You just go out there, do what you can and see what happens.”
