What can't David Wells do? The man has thrown a perfect game while hungover, is now an analyst for TBS and now he's even a columnist for the New York Post.

It's been mentally draining. But, you know what, it's one of those things, a year in, you just can't wait for a fresh start," Hamels said. Granted, he later added that "Game...

Game 3 pregame: Hamels must get back to basics

Via Beerleaguer  |  October 31, 2009
I don't profess to know the secret to being a successful major league pitcher, but there are a few common sense approaches Cole Hamels needs to follow tonight. We've all recognized Hamels' need for a third pitch, which isn't going to happen until the offseason.

Nightmare on Citizens Bank Way, Phils Lose An Ugly Game Three at CBP

Via 700 Level  |  October 31, 2009
That one was rather frustrating. Cole Hamels looked dominant early but unraveled quickly after being squeezed on a would-be strike three to Mark Teixiera in the top of the fourth. A-Rod got the Yankees on the board with a questionable home run that hit off a camera hanging over the right field wall that some brilliant exec at FOX thought would be a great spot for it. Hamels came...

Via Crashburn Alley  |  October 31, 2009
World Series Game 3 in Philadelphia will feature a match-up between two southpaws, Cole Hamels and Andy Pettitte.

Yankees' Pettitte defined by intense focus

Via SI.com  |  October 31, 2009
During the past few days, Pedro Martinez has spent a lot of time telling us -- usually rather amusingly -- about all of the things that Pedro Martinez is. He is the most influential player that has ever stepped in Yankee Stadium. He is the would-be King of New York. He is a Christian. He is a father.
