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.

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.

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.
