I could of went a couple of directions with this one. That Valverde 2-2 fastball to Justin Upton that went over the centerfield wall is still irking me. But, knowing the Mets and their closers(except for Billy Wagner) that wasn’t a surprise. I wonder (dare I say it) what Frank Francisco is up to these days? Kidding! Oh wait he’s in Chicago. I can’t stand that “fool.” Need I remind you:

What caught my attention and it wasn’t the first time was the hitting philosophy of one Bartolo Colon. It’s INCONCEIVABLE! First we had this:

Apparently the irresistible force of a baseball CAN handle the immovable object of Bartolo’s girth. I wonder if Bartolo would be able to hit the rock Andre the Giant used in the film Princess Bride?
Bartolo’s plate appearances are too sad to watch. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s reason for the implementation of the Designated Hitter in the National League. There is no better argument than Bartolo. Who knows, Major League Baseball can also blame pitchers who step up to the plate on the Tommy John surgery outbreak this year. Well this guy ^ can take all the blame. I know tee ball kids who can handle a bat better then this manganzón.
