Bedrossian is not a French name, so he can’t have been the real deal.

(And my Francophilia is NOT my fault.)

No problem Joe, glad to clear it up.

Yep, good news about Bedrossian. No offense to Francophiles like Laurie, but he sucked. That gives us a SI spot to fill aside from Blanco.

Sorry, you’re right, Tom. Absolutely right. I thought it was referring to this blog. Yeah, for as slack as I’ve become in this age of instant messages, text messages and blogs, a newspaper should be above that kind of crap.

In other really, really exciting news, the Fire released Bedrosian (sp?) yesterday. Addition by subtraction.

But Joe, the Daily Herald is a newspaper, not a blog. Unless you meant this is a blog. Which it is.

Yeah, Laurie, you are. It’s a blog not the New York Times. A long time ago I was an English major and would wring my hands over the grammatical dumbing down of our nation. To quote Jeff Tweety: there was a time, that time is gone.

I’m really not usually such a prick.

“He ran slowly, carefully, and rickety.”

AARRGGHH!!! “Rickety” is NOT an adverb!! Am I the only person in the universe driven insane by this kind of thing?

Oh, and to make this on topic, Blanco didn’t impress me all that much either.

Hey Bob, when did you morph into Yoda?

As long as he is put in a position to have to do little running or play no defense he will be fine. A complete player, he no longer is. A crafty player on the ball, he remains.

I’m excited to see him provide some creativity. I’m heartened by the fact that he did really well for Club America this year but from what I saw of him in the Gold Club, he looked shocking. I’ll reserver judgement and will attend games (not specifically to see Blanco) but I’m guardedly optimistic about Blanco at this point.
