I mentioned this before...especially with pitchers...those involved in the post season especially the World Series, throw more pitches and the injury factor multiplies because they are already tired after a long regular season. Being that the Phillies won the World Series and Hamels pitched his heart out...he has a legitimate excuse for getting off to a slow start this season and getting injured....simply not enough time during the off season for an overextended arm to heal up properly and get back to normal...not always the case but ya can observe this happening often enough.
Yeah it happens all the time.........................(eyeroll)

Come on Steve - the healthiest athlete can get injured, who knows, but an athlete, and it's not debatable, is more likely to get injured when he's tired or not in the proper shape...and of course you know this.
Perhaps 5 months isn't enough time for a tired, overextended arm to heal up and it some cases it isn't, and Hamels is an excellent example of that, and there are a number of other examples as well, especially in this day & age when the season is too long, and spring training is way too long.

Ibanez back, Howard possibly getting in a groove...starting pitching decent/solid...relief pitching okay, improving, and looking at signing a closer...and a 4 game lead in the NL East...I'm not saying it's over yet, but the fat lady is clearing her throat.
Everyone knows that Howard's 3 run homer in the bottom of the ninth is simply more of his false RBI.
I went to bed thinking, great the Mets win (thanks for the avatar change fitzie) and the Pirates are beating up on Hamels and the Phillies. It's 7 to 3 for gods sakes.
I awoke to yet another Phillies come from behind win. Thank god it was the Mets turn to win.
Just noticing the Phillies are slowly pulling away from the other teams....now 50 - 38 and 6 games ahead. Hard to say if any of the other teams have anything left??
Maybe we can have another Phills vs Dodgers NLCS???

Steve ... well, if that's the case, let me hop on the Bandwagon and say: "The Phillies are playing AWESOME ... their players are recovering from their injuries quite well ... they are pulling away from the field and it does not seem as though anybody will catch them. LETS GO SILLIES! LMAO

Phillies having 4 out of the top 8 home run hitters in the league, doesn't sound like BP to me.

Nah...I'll spend the time catching up on the Eagles happenings. LOL

I'll guess 17 wins for this season.
As for his career, that's tough; but I'll guess he pitches two (2) more seasons after this one and finishes with 285 career wins.
/s/ JackWESQ
a five, six, seven and a half.
Heh.
awhile back...somebody was calling them mediocre???...who was that?
That would be me, and I stand by that comment.
One winning streak does not make a team great.
Even with this latest streak the Sillies are something like 24 and 21 over the last 45 games.
That spells mediocrity.
I doubt they win 90 games this year. However with this division they need not win 90 to win it.
Steve
Everything going right, right now.
