Bartolo Colon is no longer on the Mets.

I am still not okay with any of this, and part of me is very much still in denial. But, what we have now are sweet, sweet memories of Tolo. Here are some of his best with the Mets. Bookmark this page, come to it when you’re down, watch it every time the Mets play the Braves — whatever will help you cope.
