The Schmuck Stops Here: Today's featured comment - Some say it’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt. I disagree.

Today's featured comment

Today's featured comment is from John, who is one of many who wrote to ask the same question.

John's question: Pete, whats the update on bedard i cannot not find anywhere saying he was tendered on not.

My take: Thanks for an easy question for a change. The Seattle Mariners did tender Bedard a contract so he's eligible for salary arbitration and will be in their rotation as soon as he's completely healed from shoulder surgery.

There was talk that if he was non-tendered, he might re-sign with the O's. He seems to have gotten nostalgic for Baltimore, and I think the O's would have been interested, but that ship has now sailed.

I was listening to your Saturday show, and had an epiphany.

In the midst of heavenly music, a thought came to my mind--

The Orioles traded journeyman catcher Ramon Hernandez for two journeymen and two players to be named . . . the epiphany became clear:

Shrewdness, thy name is McFool.

Pete,

Any truth to the rumor you reported Teixeira is headed to tomorrow's game?

Thanks

Pete's reply: I have no idea. Just something a caller said on the show today. Can't confirm it.

About Peter Schmuck

Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
