"I don't know why that pitcher didn't strike me out. He could have. I really couldn't do much more at that point. My wrist has been bothering me a little bit."

RHP Bartolo Colon will again attempt to join the fraternity of pitchers who have beaten all 30 major league clubs when he takes the mound Monday night for the Mets in the opener of a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field.
