Like Bartolo Colon, R.A. Dickey is a veteran quadragenarian right-hander who signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Braves this offseason. And now he has the nickname to rival Colon’s as well. Dickey announced on Friday that he’s …
Bartolo Colon has been one of the most consistent and entertaining players on the New York Mets roster over the past three seasons. Like many fans, fellow hurler Noah Syndergaard is devastated to see the 43-year-old leave. Colon reportedly signed a …
When it’s Bartolo Colon’s day to pitch (and bat) you never know what will happen. Unfortunately, the lovable pitcher was forced to leave Tuesday’s game early with an injury. Colon was only four pitches into his outing when Whit …
New York Mets pitcher Bartolo Colon is reportedly being sued by a woman who claims he has a secret family and has not kept up with child support payments for two children he fathered out of wedlock. According to the New York Post, Colon has an …
Bartolo Colon can now list “Guinness World Record holder” on his lengthy resume of incredible accomplishments. Colon set a record two weekends ago when he homered off the Padres’ James Shields for his first career home run. At age …
James Shields may not want to remember what happened last Saturday, but it won’t be something soon forgotten by Mets fans. In case you missed it, Colon did the unthinkable, clubbing a no doubt home run at Petco Park, a stadium not known for …
Bartolo Colon belted his first career home run on Saturday night, and James Shields was responsible for serving it up. Rather than laugh off giving up a big fly to a 42-year-old who is one of the worst hitting pitchers in baseball, Shields seemed …
Bartolo Colon, notorious for being one of the worst hitting pitchers in baseball, did the unthinkable on Saturday and belted his first career home run. The reaction from the Mets dugout was splendid. Colon enjoyed himself with the extra slow home run …

Bartolo Colon did not pitch for the New York Mets during their Game 2 NLCS win over the Chicago Cubs Monday night, but somehow he just narrowly managed to avoid suffering an injury. You see, Colon is a clumsy guy. An argument could be made that he …
Bartolo Colon is love. Bartolo Colon is life. And now Bartolo Colon is a T-shirt. Perhaps to celebrate the team’s first NL East division title since 2006, the finest merchandising haul known to man recently arrived in the New York Mets …
Watching Bartolo Colon try to hit is easily one of our favorite things about the 2014 MLB season. You would think the New York Mets would tell their portly pitcher to simply stand at the plate and not swing, but we’re thankful they don’t. …
I am choking. Seriously choking right now. Can’t breathe. Can’t even write this post. All I have to say is god bless Sandy Alderson for signing Bartolo Colon and bringing him to the National League. Without that, none of this awesomeness …
The New York Mets boycotted New York Post writer Mike Puma on Friday after he and his newspaper wrote some unflattering things about overweight pitcher Bartolo Colon. Puma tweeted the following line about Colon on Thursday and then used it as the …
The fact that Bartolo Colon still has a spot in an MLB rotation at age 41 is impressive. You wouldn’t expect an overweight, 16-year veteran to be effective, but Colon has actually pitched well over the last year or so. While he has shown good …
Bartolo Colon has been looking fatter than ever over the last year or so, but the 40-year-old veteran is somehow still pitching effectively. He’s off to a solid start with the New York Mets this year after posting an 18-6 record and 2.65 ERA …
