That is amazing! He never did that when he was with us!
RHP Bartolo Colon threw 38 consecutive strikes from the second pitch of the fifth inning to the seventh pitch of the eighth inning on Wednesday, the longest string of strikes in at least 24 years, which is as far back as the data available Wednesday night went. Colon worked eight scoreless innings at Angel Stadium to improve to 3-1; he allowed four hits and he struck out five.

Thanks for that post JR. I was too lazy to look it up.

Who has the last laugh now Shapiro. You have crowed about this deal for a decade. Yet of the guys you got for colon-Sizemore is washed up. Phillips was phillipsed and Lee was traded for a sore armed high schooler. Great trade.

Let's just see how long he keeps it up, or is found to be using banned substances.

Smallest crowd in history of Safeco watch Mariners win
11,343 see Vargas pitch seven innings in Seattle's 4-1 win over Indians

Tonight's game would be a good one for The Tribe to win. It would give us the series, plus every team in our division has already lost today.

Apparently Tim Wakefield had the record at 30 consecutive strikes....against the Cleveland Indians. Thanks, Ray Fosse.

One of the greatest trades in baseball history. Only Joe Z's lost son would think otherwise.

Tribe 4th coming up, still looking for the first hit.

Choo's reputation and our defense saved us a run in the 2nd tonight. The runner on 2nd decided not to challenge Choo's arm on the follow up single, stopping at 3rd. Choo had to make a turn after fielding the ball and I think the runner would have scored easily had he tried.

Next batter Jack Hannahan vacuumed up a grounder cutting off the shortstop's ball and the quick relay throw to 2nd ended the inning with the Seattle runner stranded.

Felix Hernandez has K'd 6 of the 11 Tribe batters thus far.

Santana blemished perfection with a two out double to the wall.


Fernandez has thrown a lot of pitches in shutting us down so far. About 65 though 3 2/3.

Sheesh.

Kotchman swings 3-0 and grounds lazily to first to end the inning stranding Santana.

Donald saves a run!

Wow!

Helluva stretch play by Kotchman after Donald went into CF to get the grounder.
