I heard MetRx is coming out with a new line of Bartolo Colon-endorsed weight gainers. The main ingredient is coconut oil.

Dice K didn't look too different from last year. Still not as accurate as I would like, but he got it done.

Dice K will start season opener.

Bartolo Colon's velocity was pretty good in his start. But he was still roughed up and didnt make it out of the first inning.

Yeah, I think he hit 96 which is really impressive. I think he might actually end up being a useful member of the rotation if he can keep the ball down in the zone. His 2-seamer is pretty nasty when he locates it, which wasn't very often today. I wasn't expecting a thing out of the guy until I saw him pitch today, but now I'm intrigued.
