Cole Hamels has arrived

Oh sure, you could make the argument that being an All Star last year and finishing 6th in the Cy Young voting his second year in the league would have meant something. Apparently going 6 2/3 innings and giving up 3 runs but earning a loss in your first career postseason outing means jack shit. Nope, you have to wait until THIS postseason when you don't pitch much better but earn a bunch of wins to get some national recognition. On the bright side, thus far this postseason has highlighted how completely overrated Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins are. Here we are, one game into the World Series and Howard has 8 hits and 3 RBI. Ladies and gentleman your 2008 National League MVP! I'm SURE the Phillies would rather have this guy than Albert Pujols. Rollins thus far has 9 hits, 2 RBI, and 6 runs, the latter stat highlighting the importance of the other players on the Phillies, as he scored an amazing 80% of the time he was on base in the NLCS. I can't wait until the Rays start intentionally walking Chase Utley with men on base to get to the 2 time MVP. Fantastic.
