RAY KING has to be on the list. He is one fat fuk. He also gives up the obligatory 1-2 run cushion to ensure the Cards win by one, he gets credited with a save, and the RL bettors go home broke.
Damn never seen him before. He wins! Tavarez used to be close to that bad, but must have found a dermatologist or something, he used to have about 10 potholes on his face.

Colon, the 2005 AL Cy Young award winner, hasn't pitched in the majors since the 2009 season but has been impressive this spring, posting a 2.40 ERA in 15 innings. He has 17 strikeouts and just one walk.

"I've been pleasantly surprised," manager Joe Girardi told the Daily News. "He is a guy that knew how to compete. We knew that. He was a guy that knew how to be successful. We knew that. But I just didn't know what to expect."
With rookie righthander Ivan Nova expected to be the Yankees' fourth starter, Colon is competing with righthanders Freddy Garcia and Sergio Mitre for the final spot in the starting five. The Daily News speculates Mitre will pitch in long relief, while Garcia could be the odd man out.
"At some point you take a leap of faith that this guy is going to help us more than that guy. I'm not ready to make that call yet, but we're going to have to make it soon," general manager Brian Cashman told the Daily News.
