Colon Blow

Colon Blow is part of any loss started by Bartolo Colon.

It really wasn't all his fault, but I've been sitting on this image since Bartolo's last horrendous outing, which was a little while ago.

The bigger mystery... why pitchers making their MLB debut always puzzle the White Sox. The world may never know.

    I prefer New Super Colon Blow.

    That's reserved for when he gets yanked before the end of the first inning.

    That seems to happen to the Cards a lot, too. My theory is that La Russa is such a matchup-oriented guy (has to always look at his index cards to figure out who to play when) that the team has a hard time when there's no "book" on a certain pitcher.

    Oh, this happens to the Dodgers, too. I've bored people for years talking about it.

    Mazzaro was only able to get one pitch over with any consistency. The rest were way out of the zone or flat. He must have some type of deceptive arm movement, because his stuff was mostly below average.
