Bartolo Colon's back trouble is nothing new

11/9/05, AP report by Mike Fitzpatrick: "And despite pitching with back pain all season, Colon issued a career-low 43 walks." published in the Daily Texan.

• (Chien-Ming Wang's Lisfranc fracture was not related to a chronic condition. Colon has had chronic back problems. If one is going to "blame" interleague play, Wang counts, Colon doesn't in this case. I don't blame interleague play, just think AL pitchers should not be allowed to swing. I'm also not sure how many base-running drills someone like Wang did).
