• Bartolo Colon has been fantastic so far this season. Koufaxian, in fact.
Total batters faced in ‘07: 55
Strikeouts: 12
Walks: 1
Three-ball counts: 5
Number of batters faced before he reached his first three-ball count: 36.

• Smoltz will get his wish to finish his career in Atlanta.

• You are the Astros. Your team’s offense is as anemic as a vegan super-model. You have a guy that was Roy Hobbsian in spring training. How come he is still in the minors?

• Ben Sheets came up lame in his last start. He says he is feeling better. It might be time to Barbaro Mr. Sheets.

• Torri Hunter is not having a good week. First the cheap bastard had to endure Champagne-gate and now he gets hit in the mug.

Twins star Torii Hunter needed three stitches to close a cut on the inside of his mouth after he was hit by a pitch from Kansas City’s Zack Greinke on Thursday.

• Giants bullpen is very hot right now. Just 1 earned run in the last 18 1/3 innings. Bochy may just know how to manage a bullpen.

• Baseball Analysts breaks down A-Rod’s swing in video, comparing this year to last year’s swing. Have a high speed connection before clicking the link, but it is worth the read.

• Did someone say draft? Perhaps the baseball draft doesn’t get the coverage of some other sports, but the children are the future. Here is a Hardball Times article of the top 25 hitters in college today. Ping.
