Game 46 Open Thread - Royals (21-24) at Red Sox (29-19)
Kansas City @ Boston
So Bartolo Colon is still alive, huh?
He'll square off against Brett Tomko (5.32 ERA). For the first time ever, I wish Runelyvs (never learned how to spell his name, not gonna double check now) was still around. Hernandez-Colon would have been a fun matchup.
Speaking of has-beens, is anyone else completely stunned that Odalis Perez is still pitching?
Between Odalis, Livan Hernandez, Sidney Ponson, Shawn Estes and now Bartolo Colon improbably hanging around, it's been a banner year for, um, the year 2003. Do we play the Padres in interleague? I'm sure Estes will shut us down like Livan and Sir Sidney did...
But back to tonight's game. Since Boston is such a cursed sports city and all, I expect Colon will flame out. Oh, wait...

Looking forward to seeing Colon soft toss for 5 innings
Hope we can get to him.
I probably disagree with you.

....and since we have worn out their bullpen the last two days, we can....
..wait a minute. Never mind. I hope get to Colon also. What are the chances/scouting of Colon throwing gas for four or five innings?

How about if he has a good 3 innings, I won't watch the 4th inning
And if he strikes out the first batter, I’m not watching the next pitch.

Per BP, Colon was clocked as high as 97 MPH in Pawtucket.
But I’m not sure how you translate AAA radar gun numbers to get the major league equivalency.
by Gopherballs on May 21, 2008 6:38 PM EDT 0 recs
I'm guessing that he hits 93 a few times in the first 3 innings
But sits at 88-91 for most of the game.

I honestly have no idea what he is going to do
He actually had a few effective outings last year before getting hurt again and losing his command, so I would not be surprised if he was solid tonight. But then again, I also would not be surprised if he fails to make it out of the second inning.

Am I stunned Odie
is still pitching? Nah, he’s sort of an ex-famous person. He’ll fade to a 5+ ERA soon.
Bartolo Colon…well..um..the Royals should have an edge here. I don’t want to jinx anything, though.

I’ve been out of it the past few days. I swear that the BODs for the weekend are in the works…though I gotta be honest, I’m afraid that I’m the reason we haven’t won since Sunday because the Royals are expecting their loving and haven’t gotten it yet.
BUT! I’M NOT TAKING THE BLAME FOR THE NO HITTER, HELL NO. I would have posted everything yesterday morning at earliest!
