Speaking of the Sox, if you've been following the mystery surrounding Sox hurler Bartolo Colon's whereabouts this week, you might be curious about whether he ever turned up and took the mound last night. Colon did eventually surface in Charlotte to pitch for the Knights against Norfolk, and pitched and impressive game. Going five innings, he allowed just two hits and one run while earning the win in the Knights' 7-1 victory. For the Sox front office, it must be a relief that Colon seems to be on track to return to the active roster soon -- after Clayton Richard's one-inning, six-earned run outing last night his days in the rotation may be numbered.

oh man, the Ozzie quote about his disappearence was priceless: “I worry about Colon because Colon was a big-time Michael Jackson fan…”
“He might see the TV and cry all day long. He may be is in LA at his funeral, because I can’t find him. When he gets to Charlotte, Oney [Guillen] will call me to say he’s there.”
“Nobody knows how big of a Michael Jackson fan Colon was. I’m serious. He might be depressed a little bit.”
It's a good thing he did well. Richards sort of pee'd on his leg yesterday...
