Hamels sucks right now.

[Don Ho]

I thought the Giants couldn't score any runs?  10 hits off Hamels.

choke has to stab that ball....such a slow reaction

Is there any question in anyones mind that Lee is the new ace? Hamels may get his shtein together come post season but right now he's behind Lee AND Blanton. For mental purposes I almost hope Charlie makes him the #3 starter in the postseason.

[Don Ho]

Absolutely. Here it is August and Hamels is till struggling.  Not a good sign today.

Hamels has been on and off all year.  His IP jumped big time last season, so it's not altogether surprising he's struggling a bit this year.  It would be nice to seem him get it all straightened out, but that may not happen this year.  Makes the Lee acquisition all the more important.

hamels is a Hoyda

That would hurt him mentally. To show your reigning World Series MVP that you don't have confidence in him wouldn't be a good idea.

wah...he needs to toughen up.

Come playoff time, I don't give a rat's ass about Hamels' mental state.  You start the pitchers most likely to win.

no question

lee is the new ace and after watching him the the other day hamels should know that as well

[PhillyGirl]

I'm starting to think Hamels just can't handle any sort of adversity. Has he ever had a really bad stretch before?

He seems like a super-wuss.

[ice grillin you]

lol the guy is a world series/playoff mvp but cant handle adversity?

hes so cal at its heart so hes never gonna be street tough but the real problem is that he just isnt an ace and is overrated by many phillie fans....know that hes a number two type guy and he wont make you that upset

[PhillyGirl]

FIne, a #2 guy doesn't whine, bitch and moan after every hit he gives up.
