Lol At Cole Hamels

This dude is such a fuging bitch throwing at Harper.

From ESPN (http://espn.go.com/m...-not-old-school) :

Hamels' first pitch to the 19-year-old Harper, with two out in the bottom of the first inning, landed in the small of Harper's back. After the game, he matter-of-factly admitted that he hit Harper on purpose, claiming he was trying to bring back "old-school" baseball.

"I was trying to hit him," the Philadelphia left-hander said after the Phillies' 9-3 win. "I'm not going to deny it."

Major League Baseball rewarded Hamels' candor by suspending him Monday for five games.

"That's something I grew up watching, that's kind of what happened. So I'm just trying to continue the old baseball because I think some people are kind of getting away from it," Hamels said Sunday. "I remember when I was a rookie the strike zone was really, really small and you didn't say anything because that's the way baseball is.

Bitch please. It isn't old school to bean a guy for no reason whatsoever. Harper had done NOTHING to warrant getting hit.. if he had stared someone down, tried to show someone up, etc.. sure, completely understandable and acceptable.. but Hamels only reasoning was he was a rookie and he wanted to send him a message welcoming him to the bigs.

Nationals GM Mike Rizzo said it best:

"Cole Hamels says he's old school? He's the polar opposite of old school. He's fake tough," Rizzo said, according to the report. "He thinks he's going to intimidate us after hitting our 19-year-old rookie who's eight games into the big leagues? He doesn't know who he's dealing with.

"He thinks he's sending a message to us of being a tough guy. He's sending the polar opposite message. He says he's being honest, well, I'm being honest. It was a gutless chicken sh*t act," Rizzo added, according to the report. "That was a fake-tough act. No one has ever accused Cole Hamels of being old school."

"This goes beyond rivalry and all that stuff," Rizzo added. "This points to, you take the youngest guy in baseball. He's never done a thing. And then Hamels patted himself on the back. Harper's old school. Hitting him on the back, that ain't old school. That's fuging chicken sh*t."

In short:

-Hamels is a try hard wanna be badass

-Harper is a boss who handled it perfectly

-Nationals > Phillies

I hate both teams but Harper is a arrogant little punk ass. and the way he acts it was only a matter of time before he got beamed. hamels only mistake was admitting it

That may be so, but he didn't deserve to get plunked by this lil bitch Hamels. Let him give people a reason to hit him before doing it. Since coming to the majors, he's done absolutely nothing to irk ANYONE. If you don't like what Harper has done since being called up you shouldn't consider yourself a baseball fan.

Now that Harper is up to the Show they're going to poke and prod and try to find a weakness. How'd he do the rest of the night after getting plunked?

After getting plunked:

-Went 1st to 3rd on a weak Jayson Werth single, fantastic baserunning

-Stole home on a pickoff move by Cole Hamels to Jayson Werth at first.

-Ripped a single his next at bat

-Ripped a double later in the game

The only time Hamels got him out was on a weak bunt that went straight to Hamels.

Harper is probably already the best position player on the Nationals. I've never seen a guy that knows baseball like he does, and at 19 nonetheless. He will be the best player in the entire MLB one day.

Bitch move on Hamels part. Bean a rookie (in the friggin back no less. At least Zimmermann plunked Hamels in the leg) and then brag about it, and how badass and old school he is for bullying a teenager. He proved one thing Sunday night; he's scared of a 19 year old rookie.

If he wanted to send him a message, he should have struck him out.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
