Kansas City Royals @ Boston Red Sox


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?

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Odalis Perez 1-4 4.34 1.54 41 22

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.

I probably disagree with you.

if pitches 4,17,36, and 67 are all fastballs we throw squids on the kauffman stadium field?

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 reply reply actions actions   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 probably disagree with you.

by NYRoyal on May 21, 2008 6:40 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by Gopherballs on May 21, 2008 6:46 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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!

Just been terrible busy last few weeks. You know how it is at the end of the semester. Plus I am teaching a new class this summer and have been working on lectures.

master plan

1. One of our numerous punchless #8 hitter types reaches via strikeout/passed ball

2. balk (due to the terrible fear all baserunners create)

3. bunt him over (drawing WILD praise from all)

4. sac fly from one of our power hitters

WOW! I am amazed at the Royals hitters

Bartolo Colon???? KC is just inept but the worst thing seems to be there is no solution to how bad they are. The Lester no hitter isn’t as upsetting as a performance like this one. No hitters happen and a couple of inches one way or another and it’s a two hit shutout from a young pitcher who was dealing. But Bartolo Colon and 2 runs????

The crazy thing about baseball is that the Royals could clobber Dice-K tomorrow but I seriously doubt it.
