Phillies or White Owls? Colon’s Blunt Advice

There is an amusing bit in Jack Curry’s column today in New York Times today concerning Bartolo Colon’s state of mind, as trade rumors continue to swirl around the Expos’ 29-year old stud hurler.

“Colon was told that the Yankees and the Red Sox were among the teams that rejected proposals from the Expos for financial reasons. When Colon was informed that the Yankees were trying to decide whether they should sign the free agent Roger Clemens or obtain Colon for three players and cash, he offered his blunt assessment of that choice.

‘You got to take Bartolo,’ Colon said. ‘You got to take Bartolo.'”

Ah, the Emis according to Bartolo.

As in roll that shit, light that shit, smoke it, huh Gordo?
