It turns out, FanSince09 was right all along: Cole Hamels is a bum.
There had been speculation that the Phillies and their former #3 starter ace were interested in a reunion. It had the makings of a nice story: The prodigal son returns to lead the team back to postseason glory. Instead, Hamels chose to drive a dagger through the hearts of his former fans, signing an $18 million deal to pitch for the division rival Atlanta Braves.
We really should have seen this coming. Hamels gave of plenty of signs that even though he pitched for the Phillies, he was most definitely not from here.
