Oh, Mr. Bedard, how we've missed you! Do you know who we've had to pitch in your absence? Have you seen what we've endured? Look at where we stand now! Why did you have to go for two weeks? Why did you have to go?
Well, you're back now, so there's that. One equest: please don't do that thing you did the last time you had a "return" game. You know that thing. Where you allow umpteen runs in no innings. Yeah, give that a miss.
And just remember, everyone not named Bard and Papelbon is gassed, so seven innings or bust! On a limited pitch count! There's no way this can go wrong!
Go Sox!
