Embarrassing, NSFW-ish photo of Cole Hamels
The Fightins, the only Phillies blog as dedicated as I am to Embarrassing Photos of Cole Hamels, posted a rather revealing shot of Mr. Hamels last night. Be warned: It’s a little unsafe-for-work. I mean it’s something we all have and it’s not X-rated, it’s more like R-rated, and… oh, it’s his ass. Go check out Cole Hamels’ naked ass. I’ve updated the archive with a link.
Robot to throw out first pitch in Philadelphia
That’s right, a robot. Bah. I’ve seen machines that can throw strikes before, specifically at just about every batting cage*. Call me when someone makes a robot that can hit.
Also, almost no chance the robot doesn’t get booed and/or vomited on.
*- But not every single batting cage. Hitting in a batting cage happens to be one of my very favorite activities so I’ve been to quite a few, and sometimes they’re just all over the place. One time at a place in Westchester I actually got beaned.

Jim Thome as Paul Bunyan
The Twins’ promos team puts Jim Thome in flannel and an awesome fake mustache and gives him a blue ox. Your move, Mike and Brett.
Daily News reporters apparently duped by Darrell Hammond’s in-character visit to Times Square

The bearer of bad news
Our man Josh tested the Walk-A-Taco at Target Field. He was underwhelmed.
Duff McKagan recognizes the whims of small-sample size
Yeah, that’s right, Duff McKagan from Guns N’ Roses. Turns out he writes a column for ESPN.com, and thinks it’s important to keep the first 10 games of the baseball season in perspective. I would imagine you need a good deal of patience to put up with Axl Rose for as long as McKagan did. Also: McKagan is a Mariners fan, and you better believe I’m going to try to get him on the phone for to preview the next Yankees-Mariners series on the Baseball Show. Both of these are ridiculous pipedreams, but we’re also hoping to land Geddy Lee to chat Blue Jays. The Bass-ball Show?
