Cole Hamels is Human... and so is Aaron Rowand

Cole Hamels had good stuff. He struck out 8 batters in 6 innings. He entered the sixth inning leading 3-1, with no sign of slowing down.

Then Cole Hamels turned into Hole Camels (I'm not exactly sure what that means, but its funny...at least its funny to me). Hole Camels must by Cole's alter ego... every super hero needs one, right?

Cole Hamels is only human, he's allowed to have bad outings every so often. I'll take a 6 to 2, win to loss ratio, any day. But Cole's lack of prowess tonight was enhanced by what could be considered a miscue, from Aaron Rowand. Errors are like Kryptonite to King Cole.

Cole Hamels, started off the 6th by allowing a sharp double to left field. No problem, Dan Ugla doubled to start off the 3rd, and didn't advance. Then Miguel Cabrera hits a ball that appears like it should have been caught by Aaron Rowand... who appeared to have taken a bad angle on the ball. Then Chase Utley throws the relay throw into the stands to allow Cabrera to score... tie game.

These miscues, obviously play with the super intelligent mind of Cole Hamels, and he quickly transforms into Hole Camels, and another double was registered.

Then Cole Hamels again, as he fanned two in a row... and then bam... Hole Camels lets up another double. 5-3 Marlins...

I guess we can't blame Aaron Rowand for this ball... but the entire outcome may have been different... had Rowand caught that ball. They may have come out of the inning leading 3-2, instead of losing 5-3.

But, he's only human.

PS - By the way, check out this site about Cole Hamels... http://www.colehamelsfacts.com/ I wonder if Cole Hamels could beat up Chuck Norris?

PSS - Does anyone else wince at the thought that Sammy Sosa's name is soon to be used in the same sentence as Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays? It disgusts me... I'll even except Bonds because steroids or not... that guy can flat out hit.
