OT: Red Sox comedy gold

Am I the only Red Sox fan here who was happy they signed Bartolo Colon not just for the possibility of his being an effective pitcher but also for the potentially hilarious article headlines? For instance, an article titled "Colon has some soreness" was posted on the Globe this afternoon:

http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/r ... colon.html

with another tagline, "How's Colon?"

:rofl:

I'll never forget the headline on ESPN.com years ago when Colon pitched for Cleveland and he dominated NYY: "Powerful Colon blasts Yankees"

C'mon, these writes *must* be doing this on purpose, huh?

"Colon Has Some Soreness"...that could just be taken in so many different ways... :rofl:

hahaha, yeah. My personal favorite headline of all time still is: "What an Astro!" with a picture of Clemens on NYPost the day he signed with the Astros.

The comedy continues:

"Colon to be examined tomorrow"

^^Wow that's a great one!

I'm waiting for this one: "Colon probed by Sox Medical Staff"

So many double and triple entendres in that one!
