Bumming around town with Bill Bumerton<\/h1>\n

Bumerton is a retired Navy fighter pilot who had been missing in action for several years while he traversed the globe looking for greener grass. He discovered the grass is only greener here (it\u2019s blue in Kentucky), so he returned to again take charge of his 1954 green Hudson Hornet that has been in storage, refilled his pipe, and is ready to continue his smokin\u2019 ways. Here is what he recently told us at the Sports Paper.<\/p>\n

Big Dawg let me ask you as question. If you were pitching a no-hitter into the seventh inning, would you take yourself out of the game? I know the answer. You wouldn\u2019t. Nor would I. But that\u2019s what Erik Bedard did against those Marinaros of yours Saturday night in Houston. Astros manager Bo Porter came out to the mound and Bedard said he was done after 109 pitches. Porter defended Bedard, but I\u2019m guessing there are few in baseball among pitchers who would have defended the 34-old former Marinaros of yours pitcher. Bedard is a strange duck. When he was with Seattle he was essentially a five-inning pitcher. He wasn\u2019t always tough enough to pitch more. Sure, Bedard\u2019s had three shoulder surgeries, but c\u2019mon your are throwing a no-no. Tim Lincecum of San Francisco threw 148 pitches to record his recent no-no against San Diego. The guy\u2019s a baby. I think those Marinaros of yours are glad to have gotten rid of him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
