Big Sexy, the Last Expo, the Dean of the Game, Bartolo Colon has hit his first home run.

Goodness, baseball will be the worse for it when Bartolo retires.

There will be a time when there is no Bartolo Colon, no Ichiro Suzuki, and no Adrian Beltre in baseball.

That's not a time I look forward to...

Memo to Jason Whitlock: there is only room for one Big Sexy in the North American sports constellation and it isn't you.

And watching the clip of the high Colonic, I'm realizing that I don't think I've ever watched a game televised from Petco Park. Damn, that's a nice ballpark.

I'm a native San Diegan, and I'm really proud that they were able to pull something like PetCo off. San Diego is normally not an innovator for aesthetics, but during the high water mark for retro-styled ballparks, they went and built an actual modernist one. I don't think it's the best one out there, but it's way better than playing at Qualcomm.
