From The Desk Of This Week In Balls: Stop Whining
Michael Fichman reports: I call bullshit. Cole Hamels hurts his elbow and is expected to miss at least two starts…. and the moans of “season over” begin to waft through the air.
This effectively means the Phils’ season has ended three times: Once for their pitiful start out of the gate, once for Ultey’s hand injury and once for Hamels’ (possibly minor) elbow tweak.
Meanwhile, as of this writing, the Phillies ARE TIED FOR THE LEAD IN THE WILDCARD PLAYOFF RACE. Clearly, it’s hard to learn the lesson that Philly is a city of naysayers with crappy predictive ability. But keep at it and you’ll get what you’ve earned — some losses. Fuck is the matter with you people?
