Thus was awesome. Petco is not a homer friendly park either

His supplements appear to be cheeseburgers and beer.

Throw in a few hotdogs and Babe Ruth would approve of this message.

It would be tough to be a young guy that is older than Bartolo unless you are using Elmhurst Steve math.

I guess we forgot 3 years ago he was suspnded for PEDS, not even the kind that might fringe on the border of a product that had some other ingredients, but just Testosterone, of which I have a feeling he didnt use for working out, as some take shots...then work out...he just got the shot.

Most guys that committ to taking the stuff, then committ to the rest of the program. Eating protein and working out like a madman.

While I am sure Bart ate the protein, I have a feeling it was always on a bun, roll or tortilla and just guessing he wasnt in the required workout program.

​Imagine: a world where everything is perfect. There's no fighting, no war, no poverty, and every player in the MLB is Bartolo Colon.

While we unfortunately will probably never see most of these things, we can get an inside look at one of them thanks to the incredible work by the guys over at ​Amazin' Avenue. They took the time to simulate an entire season of MLB: The Show, with every player as Bartolo Colon.

The results? Horrifying.

From a pitching standpoint, things were incredible. The Cy Young Award winners were, you guessed it, Bartolo Colon: one with the Reds with a 0.17 ERA, 304 strikeouts and zero walks, and the other with the Angels with a 0.23 ERA and 298 strikeouts. Both also won MVP.

There were 2,069 shutouts thrown in the possible 2,430 games. Oh, and there was only ONE WALK THE ENTIRE SEASON.

The hitting stats were the truly terrifying numbers, and to start it off, here's a picture of Bartolo Colon holding his Home Run Derby Trophy, because nothing is sacred.
Colon
In case you were wondering, there were 18 total home runs hit in that Derby. Giancarlo Stanton did that in like six seconds.

The AL batting crown went to a nice Bartolo in Boston with a glorious .204 average, while the NL went to a Braves Bartolo with a .195 average. The Red Sox' Colon also led the league in slugging percentage (.235), home runs (5) and RBI (28). There was not a single stolen base attempt.

In the end, the Colon Cardinals took home the World Series title, and the gentleman's PS4 immediately exploded from awesomeness upon the completion of this season.
