What more can anyone say about how much Cole Hamels means to the Philadelphia Phillies? In his four starts thus far this season, Hamels has left each game in line for the W. The bullpen blew his first two leads and thankfully got through his third. In his fourth start, Hamels gave the bullpen the finger and took the nine innings himself. Unfortunately, work prohibited me from witnessing the best game of the 2007 season, but after reading about it on the internet and listening to 610, I have something to say to Phillies fans:Attention Philadelphia, our long awaited ace has finally arrived
The loss from Friday is still stinging and unforgivable, but this is the initial step to heal the wounds. And the first step to a possible winning streak, which I should mention would be the first one of the season...and we are almost a week away from May!
Also, in honor of Cole Hamels, I thought I would make up some of my own Cole Hamels Facts
- Cole Hamels dared Charlie Manuel to fight Howard Eskin. Manuel didn't want to, but no one says "no" to Cole.
- Cole Hamels loves Driven To Deep Center.
- Since he is such a nice guy, Cole Hamels pitches to Chris Coste on his off days to remind Coste of the "glory days."
- Cole Hamels is the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby.
- More than an hour of the team meeting held yesterday was Hamels telling stories of his childhood. This is way more important than winning baseball games.
- If you look closely, you will see a wet spot around Charlie Manuel's crotch every time he walks to the mound to take Hamels out of the game. Manuel is very scared to tell Cole to stop pitching.
- The Spartans in 300 were based off of Cole Hamels.
- Cole Hamels kicked Ryan Howard's knee causing him to sit out for a few days so he could think about what a shitty hitter he has become.
- The only reason Cole Hamels married Heidi Strobel was for tax benefits. Hamels is still very much a bachelor and still brings home a new chick every night.
- Cole Hamels got angry the Phillies turned a triple play. He wanted to strike the next three batters out.
- Cole Hamels loves freedom and democracy so much that he gets offended when people call him King Cole.
- The only thing sad enough to make Cole Hamels cry was when the Phillies were eliminated from playoff contention in 2006. Hamels has vowed to never cry for this reason again.

Cole is the wunderkind Phillies fans have prayed for through all the years of Tyler Green, Pat Combs, Carlton Loewer, Brad Brink, and other can't miss pitching stars of the future... This is a pitcher that is the real un-fuqua-believable deal.
The Phillies pissed away Cole's other chances at a W this year, so he did the only thing he could do to ensure that he'd get the win. Toss a complete game and keep that pigpen of a bullpen from blowing another damn game.
Cole better be careful though, if he shows just how much of an ace he can be, Charlie might move him to the pen so he can impact more and more games... What we really need is the Cole to Coste combination. Shit, we kept McCarver around to be Carlton's caddy for years. The King needs to summon Coste to court.
In Cole we trust.
If Manuel were to move Hamels to the pen so we could "use him in more games," you guys will hear about me on the 6 o'clock news for murdering Charlie.
Brad Brink- I'm on the "brink" of falling off my seat laughing at him ever being considered worth a pinch of shit.
Manuel is bumbling slap-nut that doesn't know his asshole from his nostril...I see him pick both all the time.
Cole Hamels is legit... the big question is...
IS Cole Hamels tougher than Chuck Norris?
I always thought Hamels was a Streisand but he was rocking the shit in that one.
Hamels taught Church Norris how to be tough. The real question is how he stacks up with Jack Bauer, but we'll never have to worry about that because Cole and Jack are on the side of righteous liberty. They just don't put Cole on 24 because he's have that shit wrapped up in 6 hours.
hahahahahhaaa. Cole solving the world's terrorism problem in 6 hours is entirely possible. I have a feeling if Cole Hamels and Jack Bauer met, anyone in the room with them would probably explode due to the intense amounts of greatness they have come in contact with.
