Bartolo Colon-O-Meter: The Annihilation Of The Self Into A Greater Cosmos

Veteran pitcher Bartolo Colon resumed his philosophical explorations yesterday afternoon, facing the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Angels! Emissaries of the divine! But Colon met the Halos with yet another stolid performance: 6.0 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 3 K. One more no-decision, in one more eventual Yankees victory. It's almost as if, rather than being the storm-tossed embodiment of man's aloneness, Colon is a steady contributor to a collective effort. Throw 90-some pitches, keep the Yankees in the game, let the bullpen and the bats and the law of averages prevail.
