BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about Erik Bedard
If it's a bad one, you move on. We have that option (to part ways with Bedard). But these kinds of individual player questions are premature. We want to get our new general manager in, we want to formulate the plan. What will our new GM think we should do not only with Erik Bedard but with everyone on the 40-man roster and in our minor-league system?

From our point of view, he may not have the long answer (for the media) but for us he's a breath of fresh air and we're really excited to have Erik Bedard.

Where you finish one year is really irrelevant as to what your projections will be for the next year ... A team like Seattle certainly has the ability to jump right back up and be contenders when you look at an Erik Bedard, a Felix Hernandez and a Carlos Silva, who's obviously going to throw the ball much better than he has this year.

It's funny because people were saying Seattle was going to win the division ... That's what was said. Getting (Erik) Bedard and having the King - what's his first name? - King Felix (Hernandez) - off those things people were picking them to win the division.

Quotes from articles mentioning Erik Bedard
We aren’t going to really know till he gets down and squats and catches four or five days in a row and see how he reacts
said Jim Riggleman
How long has his arm been hurting? I doubt if anybody knew his arm was hurting. You don’t just go from 100 percent to Tommy John surgery ... That thing had to be hurting, and he’s not saying anything to anybody. If you’re looking at rotator cuff surgery, labrum surgery, Tommy John surgery, that doesn’t happen in one day, that’s wear and tear over time. And that wear and tear means there must have been some considerable pain that you are pitching through. Very few of them did it on one pitch, and everybody knew about it.
said Jim Riggleman
It’s a message delivered to them constantly, that if you have anything wrong we need to know as soon as possible ... We can minimize the damage, we can address it, we can fix it, but they just try to pitch through it.
