Yesterday was a day of milestones. Personal ones. For Colon and David Ortiz.
Colon (4-1, 3.41 ERA), the bargain of the century, has done what Clay and Schilling should be this year, but didn’t even show up until he dropped a few pounds and learned to harness his control.
Granted, Colon isn’t going to put a hole in Varitek’s hand anymore, but his 91-93 MPH fastball is extremely effective when he throws a mean 85 MPH change. Who knows if he’ll keep this up all year, but wow, what a total bargain. Nice call, guys.
Big Papi, an icon of today’s baseball world, celebrated his naturalization as a U.S. Citizen. Red Sox President Larry Lucchino was in attendance.
