Cole Hamels


Born on today's date, Cole Hamels.

"Cole Hamels says he's old school? He's the polar opposite of old school. He's fake tough. He thinks he's going to intimidate us after hitting our 19-year-old rookie who's eight games into the big leagues? He doesn't know who he's dealing with." - Nationals GM Mike Rizzo after Hamels intentionally hit Nationals Bryce Harper with a pitch

The last time a "Cole" hit a "Bryce"....




....was at that Fillmore Academy prep school mixer.

William Charles broke it up.

How quickly they turn


Per Frank Fitzpatrick of the Philadelphia Inquirer:

"(Cole) Hamels will never be one of us and it's not his fault.

The whiny voice. The fashion-mag looks. He was born with those. In Southern California, no less.

That's all fine for him. But it's grating to us."

"It's easier to imagine him as a waiter in a trendy restaurant ("Hi, I'm Cole. I'll be your waiter. Would you like to hear our specials?"); a dance instructor ("You call that a battement fondue?"); an architect* (If I don't use dentil molding, it could ruin the neoclassical motif.") or a model ("Work it, Cole. Work it!")"

If they keep it up, maybe he will do what anybody else in his situation would do** and file for free agency when he is eligible and then the city can finally be rid of this guy they perceive as a problem. ("Get out of here already guy!")

*I have never thought of architects as wimpy guys but maybe that is just me. They design big and strong buildings, don't they?

**"That crap was hard enough for two years. They expect way too much." Billy Wagner on Philly fans.
