Complete game, five hits, one run, 15 K’s. And a triple play. And not one of those fluke triple plays, a 5-4-3 around-the-horn triple play.
Now, can somebody get me a bullpen?

Can somebody get me a triple?
(hic)
I have not had over46 today.
Yet.
1. Cole Hamels is what the kids today call the shiznit.
2. Granted, the bullpen is dog meat. Unfortunately, Charlie Manuel lost his mind & moved Brett Myers to the bullpen. Even if Jon Lieber is better suited to starting – which he is – how does it help to move a C- pitcher to the rotation & a B+ pitcher to the bullpen? Why in God’s name would anyone want the C- pitching 200 innings & the B+ pitching 80, instead of the other way around? Can someone explain this to me? Pat Gillick needs to step in & inform Manuel that pissing off the 26-year-old B+ to placate the 37-year-old C- whom we’ve been trying to trade for months is just monumentally stupid.
3. Kudos to Abraham Nunez for starting the triple play. I’d feel much better about applauding him if Placido Polanco weren’t hitting .380 for Detroit.
4. How did this blog attract so many Phillies fans? I know Jeff favors the Rockies…
5. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Cole Hamels Facts. Learn them. Know them. Use them.
The bullpen isn’t the only problem. Leading the majors in runners left on base and being dead last in batting average with runners in scoring position doesn’t make for a World Series Drive winning formula.
If Tom Gordon has a subpar year, this team is DOA. At least Hamels is the real deal. It just amazes me that he can throw that changeup anywhere in the count and no one seems to have any clue how to hit it.
Well, as we Mets fans always say, the Phillies are the team to beat.
tw: The Phils will be waiting16 years for a bullpen.
Phillies fans are funny.
Both in the ha-ha and restraining order senses.
Wait, they have a bullpen. A very expensive bullpen.
And I’m ticked beacuse I watched the Friday night game, the loss in extra innings? Yeah, that one. I could hear the cheering 70 miles downriver.
Not last night’s game.
On the other hand I got a 12 yr old playing 1st and a 9 yr old playing 3rd and CF.
Should be a good year.
Perhaps you could borrow the White Sox bullpen, in exchange for an RBI or two…
Naturally, I was on the road when the no-hitter happens.
Yeah, hold on a second before you congratulate yourselves.
I’m a Reds fan, so let me just tell you this: while Cole Hamels didn’t pitch badly, the Reds couldn’t hit a softball with a cricket bat last night.
Gosh, mgroves, any clue as to why they couldn’t hit anything last night?
I watched the Rockies throw up 3 runs on 14 hits last night, leaving the bases loaded in both the 7th and 8th.
Their disabled list is bloated. And Clint Hurdle is still the best AAA manager with a major league job.
Let me manage that team. I guarantee 85 wins.
And yeah, go ahead and use that as a movie treatment. Say I won a contest or some such. Ownership was at its wit’s end. Give me as a love interest the girlfriend of the team superstar who was all about himself, and who I eventually release—to this dismay of local fans.
Until the team gels, finally—after much hilarity—under my leadership.
Natasha Henstridge co-stars as the love interest. Who, whenever we play in Chicago, has her blouse blown off.
Which is suggested, but never really shown. Give it a PG-13.
Just so long as I get to actually see her nude. To artsy it up, we’ll make some clever intertextual allusion to Species. Or something. Name your pretense.
Oh, and Van Damme? I’ll kick his ASS.
I just come in from mowing the lawn and I see this.
First off, if Chandler can get to feel up Natasha twice I think you’re due. In fact, you make Natasha a single mother of a precocious 5 year old boy, make him the team mascot, and you could have this in heavy rotation on TNT in two years.
Go for it.
