When your opponent smashes two taters against you in the first inning, you get an inkling it's going to be a tough game. When their two slowest, lumbering players each leg out a triple, you know it's gonna be a long night. But when your starting pitcher whiffs himself around on a pitch at the plate so hard that he knocks himself out of his batter's helmet... it's pretty clear it's not going to be your kind of day.
It could only get worse if that same starting pitcher somehow hurt himself swinging wildly at those pitches... oh, wait- he did. Hooray!

Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo are some kind of soothsayers, both guessing that Bartolo Colon would be swinging away... and foreshadowing Colon getting injured on that swing by talking about Chien-Ming Wang going on the DL until (at least) September.

Mom said he reminded her of the Tasmanian Devil. :D
And I guess it was a case of "Beware, the (belated) Ides of June". What with the soothsayers and all.
