But he hits the ball so damn hard, so they say.

Bartolo's HR deserves its own tattoo, too. [fimg=444]http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0797/7239/files/BartHomeRun_large.jpg?12903782274918146821[/fimg] There are few things in the world less important than a mans word. In this case, a statement was made at the beginning of the season, and it came true. Matt Sassi said to his buddy, Anthony Triola: "If Bartolo Colon hits a home run this year, I'll get a commemorative tattoo". Before the game on Saturday I met them in McFadden's and they told me about this bet. You'd think, ok... that's not happening. Right? WRONG! Coolest part of the bet was that they were both there to witness the feat in person. Matt is a Middletown, NY native that moved to San Diego. What were the odds that Bart would be on the hill the day of our invasion? What are the odds he'd go yard? Slim to damn near impossible. Matt could have chickened out and not gotten it at all, or gotten something small that could easily have been hidden. Instead he went balls to the freakin' wall with pretty much a half sleeve. Tossed THE 7 LINE ARMY on there for good measure and added the date of Bart's now famous swing. You manned up, Matt. Bravo. http://the7line.com/blogs/the-7-line/102055937-bartolo-colon-home-run-tattoo

There used to be this feature here -- "Unread Posts" or something like that. It hasn't worked in so long, I can barely remember what it did anymore. But I remember that I liked it. I hope that one's revived, whatever it is and does. And a decent search engine. I'd settle for a half decent search engine given how unbelievably shitty the one that we have is. And all of a sudden the time settings are off by an hour when I'm logged out again. So when you say you're moving the forum at 7AM, does that really mean 6AM? Or 8AM? And maybe the new place'll let youse keep threads active longer without having to bury them in a jar of hermetically sealed mayonnaise 15 feet underground every so often -- way too often. That's all I got for now.

But Trout is on a pace that would make him baseball's best post WWII player, ever. Think of that.
