It’s too early to make a legitimate determination, but perhaps his next start against the A’s will be a better barometer for things to expect.”,”date”:”Sat Jul 30″},”fullName”:”Erik Bedard”,”seasonOutlook”:{”outlook”:”Labrum surgery caused Bedard to miss all of last season, though at one point he was just a few days from a scheduled July return. [1]

CHICAGO — With the Red Sox, among many other teams, poised to scout Erik Bedard tonight in Seattle, former Baltimore Orioles executive Jim Duquette has some advice for Theo Epstein. [2]

Erik Bedard certainly didn’t do the Mariners any favors with his poor outing Friday in his first start off the disabled list, and his last start before Sunday’s non-waiver trade deadline. [3]

Bedard (AP photo) will be making his return from a one-month stay on the disabled list with a knee injury to pitch against the Tampa Bay Rays. [2]

This article is about the Major League Baseball player. [4]

I’ve been spending so much time lately dealing with other teams’ rumors that I might as well tackle the Mariners’ own while I’m at it. [5]

On February 8, 2008, B?dard was traded to the Seattle Mariners in a 5-for-1 deal sending outfielder Adam Jones and pitchers George Sherrill, Tony Butler, Chris Tillman and Kam Mickolio to the Orioles. [4]

In fact, he always seems to get injured in July, shortly before the trade deadline. [2]

But once he got into a groove, he was among the best pitchers in the league, going 4-2 with a 1.77 ERA over his next 11 starts before hurting his knee. [3]

Overall, he was 40-34 with a 3.83 ERA in five seasons with Baltimore. [...] He had his two best — and healthiest — seasons with the Orioles, winning 15 games in 2006 and 13 games in 2007. [2]

In the beginning of 2005, he posted a 2.08 ERA, but after a sprained knee sidelined him for two months, he posted a 5.44 ERA. [4]

Bedard simply did not have much command, which is not too surprising considering he hadn’t pitched in game conditions in a month. [3]

Plenty of rust on Bedard who seemed to have trouble finding the strike zone on a regular basis. [1]

august

But Treasury officials have never said when the government will run out of cash to pay the nation’s bills, and the consensus among Wall Street analysts is that the cash won’t run out until about two weeks after the August debt-ceiling drop-dead date. [1]

The Treasury Department pushed back on Wednesday against claims that the deadline for raising the debt ceiling could be pushed to as late as August 15, noting that the government could not guarantee its ability to pay its loans after August 2. [2]

Located in the heart of New York City’s Greenwich Village, August is a jewel in the neighborhood’s crown, offering pan-European cuisine for dinner nightly and weekend brunch. [...] Facebook helps you connect and share with the people in your life. [3]

This month was originally named Sextilis in Latin, because it was the sixth month in the original ten-month Roman calendar under Romulus in 753 BC, when March was the first month of the year. [4]

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, second from left, makes remarks after a meeting with Democrats about the debt limit, Thursday, July 14, 2011. [...] What I have said, what everyone has said is that once we lose our borrowing authority, we become at risk of default on our obligations,” he said. [2]

Pressed for details about the tangible impact of failing to meet the August 2 deadline, Carney said the U.S. would be “at risk of default on our obligations” - though he refrained from saying that the default would necessarily take place. [2]

Its birth flower is the gladiolus or poppy, meaning beauty, strength of character, love, marriage and family. [4]

Not likely, according to analysts, who say that even without the ability to borrow more money, the government could avoid a devastating default for another week or so. [1]

In common years no other month starts on the same day of the week as August, though in leap years February starts on the same day. [4]

McCarthy and other Wall Street analysts predict that the Treasury will have enough cash to meet its early-to-mid August obligations, including $23 billion in Social Security payments to the elderly and disabled on August 3. [1]

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

Democrats are aiming for a debt-limit compromise similar to the House Republican plan, with at least one major difference: The second vote on raising the debt ceiling would not depend on Congress passing a broader deficit-reduction package. [1]

The focus switched to smaller measures, as Mr. Boehner and Mr. Reid prepared dueling last-minute measures that combined spending cuts with a debt limit increase. [2]

Rep. James Clyburn and a group of House Democrats are urging President Barack Obama to invoke the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling if Congress can’t come up with a satisfactory plan before the Tuesday deadline. [3]

If you or someone you know is in financial hot water, consider these options: realistic budgeting, credit counseling from a reputable organization, debt consolidation, or bankruptcy. [4]

World Bank President Robert Zoellick on Friday said the United States was playing with fire. [5]

In July, President Obama pushed for a sweeping $4 trillion deficit-reduction deal that would include reductions in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid as well as changes to plug tax loopholes. [...] But the talks collapsed in June, as Republicans rebuffed Democratic insistence that a deal include revenue increases as well as spending cuts. [2]

Red lines indicate the Debt Held by the Public (net public debt) and black lines indicate the Total Public Debt Outstanding (gross public debt), the difference being that the gross debt includes that held by the federal government itself. [6]

With time running short ahead of a Tuesday deadline to raise the debt ceiling, the Republican-controlled House pushed the deficit-cutting plan through by a vote of 218-to-210 after the party’s leaders reworked the bill to appease anti-tax conservatives in their ranks. [5]

The House Republican leader, Speaker John A. Boehner, expressed interest, but quickly backtracked in the face of protests from conservatives opposed to tax increases. [2]

Republicans applauded loudly and Democrats hissed. [5]

House Speaker John Boehner’s failure on Thursday to quell a rebellion among Tea Party-affiliated conservatives in his party and bring his proposal to a vote exposed a rift among Republicans that complicated efforts to reach a compromise.
