SportsFilter: The Wednesday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Bartolo Colon becomes first pitcher to beat one team while pitching for seven different teams, winning over the Orioles with the Indians, White Sox, Angels, Red Sox, Yankees, Athletics, and (yesterday) Mets. Colon turns 42 in three weeks.

Colon is absolutely ridiculous - His KO/BB ratio at this point is 34:1.
I find myself enjoying watching him pitch in a way that I haven't since Greg Maddux - methodical, efficient, every pitch pinpoint perfect. For the sake of des femmes de la nuit, I hope that's the only Maddux tendency he's developed.

That Messi move was otherworldly.

I hope the groundsmen can find Boateng's ankles.

Bayern's left back. Goal side, inside. You should learn how to mark in the under 10s. You dumped Boateng in the poop.

Owlie, hard to think of better words. Will be wearing my Messi jersey today like the god among men he is.

I thought he was on the Thames.

A gay couple were shown on the Dodgers' kiss cam. You'll never believe what happened next.
