Diamondbacks 2, Mets 1: Arizona ruff up Bark-tolo Colon

Record: 27-28. Pace: 80-82. Change on 2014: +5.

For reasons I don't want to get into, my enjoyment of this evening's game was rudely interrupted when it suddenly turned into a bout (match? chukka?) of Aussie Rules football, a sport which makes rugby look like a Sunday School picnic. Normally. I'd not mind too much and I would go with the flow - slip another shrimp on the barbie, crank up the INXS, and enjoy me some Antipodean culture - but considering this is my recap night, it does pose somewhat problematic. Not that there was a great deal worth recapping in this one, as the Arizona offense gently slumbered there way through the early going, lulled by the soothing sounds of Bartolo Colon's 87 mph fastball.
