Cole Hamels Pretends To Be Rugged Old School Pitcher And Admits To Hitting Bryce Harper Intentionally
“I was trying to hit him. I’m not going to deny it. It’s something I grew up watching. That’s what happened. I’m just trying to continue the old baseball. Some people get away from it. I remember when I was a rookie, the strike zone was really, really small and you didn’t say anything. That’s the way baseball is. Sometimes the league is protecting certain players. It’s that old-school prestigious way of baseball. “I’m not going to injure a guy. They’re probably not going to like me for it but I’m not going to lie and say I wasn’t trying to do it. I think they understood the message and they threw it right back. That’s the way, and I respect it. They can say whatever they want.”
Whole Camels, ladies and gentleman! The last of a dying breed. One of those old school veterans who came from an era of hard nosed baseball. A grizzled baseball lifer that reminds us of the Bob Gibsons and Bob Fellers of the world.
For sure not. What a fucking bitch. This Keanu Reeves motherfucker is softer than cream cheese in the oven and now decides that because Bryce Harper is 19 and tearing the league up he’s gonna pretend to be the tough guy. Sure, Harper’s got a haircut like a total cocksucker. And I bet he is a total cocksucker. But he hasn’t done anything disrespectful yet, and even if he did, Cole Hamels ain’t the guy to put him in his place. Its like the quintessential “You mad, bro?” moment. Harper has been ripping it up. Highlight reel, top 10 material. Doing things that only guys like Ken Griffey Jr. did at this age. And Cole Hamels doesn’t like it and decides to plunk him thinking he’s some old school pitching crusader? Take a hike dude. Drilling a dude for no reason other than his early season success is just about the least old school, least manly thing you can do. Its like a catty bitch move.
I love that Harper promptly rounded the bases and stole home on him too. Like alright you wanna do some of this dick measuring gamesmanship, 2 can play at that game.
PS – Harper’s hair and persona is nothing short of a WWF character. I would love to see a dude like that on the Mets
he’s a nasty white boy, let the #greatwhitehype debate begin1
How many times has Harper been world series MVP? Hamels can do whatever the fuck he wants.
I thought Cole Hamels was gay, he’s such an ass cole.
When a guy is killing your team at the plate all series, moving his ass off of the plate and making him less comfortable is as old school as it gets.
@rukid, pretty tough to get a WS MVP after playing in the majors for a whole week.
That’s my point. A well-established veteran wanted to give a warm welcome to the big leagues to this 19 year old punk. Pretty old school in my opinion, and if anyone has the credentials to do it, it’s Hamels.
par for the course as far as i’m concerned baseball is the ultimate fake tough guy sport. Stop the presses because there was actual physical contact in a baseball game. hours and hours of over talk radio for what would amount to a every day blocked shot in hockey or a medium level hit in football. baseball = sport for queers
The Mets would never do such a thing. If you bat over .300 against them you get a day at Citi Field.
I guess when the Mets are so irrelevant you have to blog on a non-story that is completley unrelated to your team and city
Baseball is a game which rules demand absolutely zero physical contact. Therefore, when there is intentional physical contact, it’s a direct statement and yeah it is a big deal. Considering you couldn’t come even muster up enough brain cells to develop a username to use besides “…….”, you’re probably not intelligent enough to understand that.
Harper got drilled because he thinks he’s hot shit. He’s been up for like a week. Listen to the shit he said when he was down in the minors. Everyone down there hated him. He is a fucking D bag and should have gotten hit in the face.
Hey …… you sound like a fucking idiot. Shut the fuck up.
even though hamels is a fairy, def a mint move drilling him. harpers like a lebron/bieber baseball hybrid. like this is the same fag that blew kisses to a pitcher after hitting a home run. would love to see him tear an achilles in the next couple years
chicagomatt is right Harper is a fucking cunt. Fucking mormon weirdo he should get cancer. I don’t care if its Hamels, CC, or fucking El Duque coming out of retirement to bean him. Kid needs to be put in his place
Hamels broke his hand in a bar fight while in the minors. Just because he’s skinny doesn’t make him a fake tough guy.
Clearly you have nothing else to blog about because the Mets suck. Harper is a great young player, but he was far from humble on his rise to the majors. Not one player on the mets would have the guts to send a message. Hamels is a future Hall of famer and you wish you had him on your team.

In what parallel universe is Cole Hamels a “future Hall Of Famer”? Maybe…. just maybe… if he puts up 7 more years of the same stats as his first 7 could you say that… You fucking Philly fans must think baseball started in 2008 if you think Hamels is a HOF’er.
I’m sure you know more about baseball than I do rukid1988, but what about when a catcher is blocking a runner from crossing home plate?
@colehamels35, hows the view from last place?
Gotta admit that his wife is a smokebomb though.
i’m just really glad KFC wrote this and not Pres. I was expecting a huge headline on BSS-Boston: “How big of a HARDOOOOO is cole hamels?” Never seen someone trying to get a slang word popularized.
*trying SO HARD to…
PS. I totally agree that this was a dick move by Hamels. He hit him based on reputation alone. I can see throwing inside on him to back him off the plate. But intentionally hitting a guy for no fucking reason is pretty fucking stupid. Oh you were sending him a message because he’s a rookie? By throwing a baseball 5 mph at a defenseless person? Here’s a message from the the commish’s office in the form of a 5 game suspension dickhead.
95 mph*
Hamel’s beans Harper, and Harper proceeds to steal home on him…Cole really won that transaction. Taught that rookie a lesson.
THOSE PICS ARE STRAIGHT-UP BEAST MODE.
Hamels biggest mistake was yapping about it. So he’s suspended, now he can go home and bang his hot attention seeking whore wife.
