Three words to start this story off. Pitchers. Who. Rake. Five years ago today, a Mets pitcher joined that conversation forever.

Bartolo Colon is a better than average pitcher that has captured the hearts of New York with his recent power surge at the plate(by which I mean ONE home run). This is a cute funny "30 for 30" but imagine the real one, centered around Colon's real age and whatever he's done to stay so young and athletic for his size...

Bartolo Colon does not more than just pitch, apparently. "Big Sexy" made some history on Saturday night, becoming the oldest player in MLB history to hit his first home run. Colon is 42 years old. There's been plenty of jokes made about Colon's weight, his declining velocity and his generally ugly swing, but on Saturday night, the joke was on Padres pitcher James Shields, who served up t

Met fans, rejoice! Bartolo Colon, the cult hero of the Blue and Orange, is coming back to New York to help the Mets chase a World Series championship. This is a good move baseball-wise too. The Mets traded Jon Niese earlier this offseason and aren't expected to get Zack Wheeler until early June...

Sitting at 20-12 and in first place in the National League East, it's already been an exciting first month and a half for the New York Mets and their fans. Well today, it gets a little more exciting as top prospect Noah Syndergaard makes his major league debut in Chicago against the Cubs...

Mets rookie phenom Jacob deGrom will not make his next start after being placed on the 15-day disabled list with what is being called "shoulder tendonitis." That's certainly good news for the Mets, as is this tweet from Carig, a Mets beat writer for Newsday...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Wilmer Flores hit a grand slam and drove in a career-high six runs, Bartolo Colon threw seven-plus sharp innings and the New York Mets beat the Philadelphia Phillies 11-2 Monday night in a makeup from an April rainout. After playing 39 innings in the three previous games, the teams finally didn't go extras...

NEW YORK (AP) — Chris Young homered to start New York's comeback and slumping Curtis Granderson singled in a run as a pinch hitter as Bartolo Colon and the Mets beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1 Thursday to send Lance Lynn to his first career loss in April...

August 5, 2013 was a day when 12 players were suspended for PED use and their roles in Biogenesis by Major League Baseball and a 13th, Alex Rodriguez, was suspended for 211 games at first but we don't know the grand total until the appeals process takes place, which should end sometime over the coming Winter...

According to Yahoo! Sports, the majority of Major League Baseball players involved in the Biogenesis PED scandal are ready to accept suspensions of at least 50 games.

The Yankees continue their 11-day, 10-game West Coast trip with a three game set in Oakland.  New York comes off a successful series in Seattle having won three of four, including the last game in which Felix Hernandez pitched (no-decision for Hernandez).  Oakland, meanwhile, comes off a four-game series split with the White Sox.  Here is a Yanks-Athletics series preview.

The Yanks enter a home series with Oakland having won four of the last five series, including recently Houston, where the pinstripes were crushed in game one but took the next two.  Moneyball-run Oakland, meanwhile, took two of three from the Angels.  These two teams will play three in the Bronx.  Here is a series preview.
