5/26: Open Game Thread
Boston Red Sox at Seattle Mariners, May 26, 2008 7:10 PM PDT
Well would you look at that, Colon was touching the mid-90s again in his 2008 ML debut. I sure am glad we signed the other fat guy for four times as long and infinity times as much.

I wonder if the Rays are happy
with their outfield defense?
"I'm out there Jerry, and I'm llllllovin' every minute of it!"
To be fair..the ball wasn't hit right at him....
I fucking hate you Mariners
Speaking of Greg House
we need him to examine Rocco Baldelli so we can sign him in the off-season to a 500K minor league contract.
Too bad his baldness is blocking out his mind signals.
Then he could’ve been good like Ichiro.
"I'm out there Jerry, and I'm llllllovin' every minute of it!"
Wouldn't being bald HELP his mental signals?
It seems like there would be less resistance…
