Bartolo Colon...the Epitome of an Athlete

Look at this Guy.  He is a large pitcher.  Very Large.  Some could say so is C.C. Sabathia, however the two don't quite compare in size. 

I mean take a look at the two:

Colon just looks really fat.  Hes got the double chin going on and hes made more money already than I will in my entire lifetime.  Great.  I mean thats all I really have to say about the matter.  I wish him the best of luck but I honestly don't see him making the Yankees rotation.  Someone will more than likely pick him up if he opts out from his Yanks contract.  I'm thinking the Cardinals might be interested.  That of course is PURE speculation on my part however.

Tuesday Night

So, Tuesday Night.  Interesting night to say the least.  Quick set-up.  Dinner at fridays then Bowling.  Bowling and Dinner were good.  However, the real story of the night was my friend managing to get drunk and wonder off into the night.  I was very unsure as to how he managed to get across the street and end up behind Wal-Mart Beside the Target.  I pondered this for many a minutes.  How was this possible?  Then I knew. 

Sexy Toast Man.
This mythical creature has long been rumored to appear to drunks in need.....its never been verified; Because in all honesty who believes what crazy crap a drunk has to say?  I'm absolutely certain that this urban legend is indeed true.  It more than likely guided him across the frozen asphalt field and held his hand as they moved through the Target forest.  Why he ended up leaving him beside Target I'll never know.  The only thing I can guess is that Sexy Toast Man happened to see a duck (which just so happens to be his mortal enemy).  This would explain my friend being left by the Target and not being taken back to the Toast lair. 

The old wives tale goes like this:  Whenever and Wherever there is a drunk in need Sexy Toast Man will appear and take them to his lair.  Everyone knows that once there he treats them to Beer and Toast because they are the only things that will prevent/cure a hangover. 

So next time you see a drunk in need lookout for his Toast-Mobile and follow him so we can ascertain the location of his secret Toast Lair!

Morneau Returns

I was pleasantly surprised the other day to log onto mlb.com and see that Morneau had actually played in a game again, let alone hitting a 3-run double.  I had been hoping he would return all last season, but eventually it came to be that he was not coming back. 

I believe Morneau is a big question mark on the Twins for many people around the game.  They wonder just how well he will perform along with Post-Tommy John Joe Nathan.  I personally believe the Twins would have advanced past the first round of the playoffs had Morneau been healthy and still in the line-up.  He was on pace for an absolutely fantastic season.  He played in exactly half of Minnesota's games in 2010 before going down with a concussion.  Its not an exact science by any means but if you assume he continued his pace (pure speculation, I know) he would have ended the season with 36 HRs and 112 RBIs.  Thats pretty darn good.  It would have given them some of the extra punch and Calm Leadership in the line-up they missed down the stretch and in the postseason last year. 

I'm just happy to see that he is finally resuming baseball activities and hope this is just a slight hiccup for Justin.  Morneau's situation with his concussion seems to be repeating itself in hockey with the situation regarding Crosby, and thus I learned due to Morneau that Crosby isn't coming back either. 

Heres hoping another symptom free game for Justin on Friday.
