Yes, Rancho Bernardo.

Colbert Michael "Cole" Hamels

(born December 27, 1983, in San Diego, California), is a left-handed starting pitcher who plays for the Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball. Hamels throws a standard four-seam fastball, a slow-breaking changeup (his "out" pitch), and a curveball.[1]


High school and draft

He attended Meadowbrook Middle School and Rancho Bernardo High School in San Diego, California. According to Tony Gwynn, lots of scouts were interested in Hamels while he was pitching for RBHS because his fastball was clocked as high as 94 mph. However, he broke his arm in his junior year, so some teams, like the San Diego Padres lost interest. Nonetheless, Hamels was drafted in the first round of the 2002 baseball draft by the Phillies. [2]

Woulda been nice to have him pitch for the Pads :icon_sad:

IIRC, the Pads have done jes ok against'im in the past.

He has the same agent as T. Gwynn, John Boggs.

He is considered the Phiwwies ace:

PHI: LHP Cole Hamels (9-8, 3.32 ERA)
One of these days, the Phillies' ace will receive a win following one of his sterling performances, but that hasn't been the case since July 3. The lefty's streak of no-decisions reached seven on Tuesday when the bullpen couldn't hold a lead against Los Angeles. He's 0-3 with a 3.60 in that span. The Phillies are 14-11 in his 25 outings this season.
________________________________

And the Padres gave up on him. I remember he wanted to be drafted by the Padres. Things just didnt work out.

In 2008, Giles, Hairston, Tad and Kooz have had 3 atbats apiece against him. Only Hairston has been successful, going 1 for 3 and that 1 was a HR. The other guys are 0 for 3.
No one else on the team has faced him.

No one on the Phiwwies has faced Baek.

Looks like their bully let him down; sounds familiar

Man, poor Baek doesn't have a good home record :no: :icon_sad:

A doctor in Killarney wanted to get off work and go fishing, so he approached his assistant. 'Murphy, I am going fishing tomorrow and don't want to close the clinic. I want you to take care of the clinic and take care of all me patients'.

'Yes, sir!' answers Murphy.

The doctor goes fishing and returns the following day and asks: ' So, Murphy, how was your day?'

Murphy told him that he took care of three patients.

'The first one had a headache, so I gave him Paracetamol..'

'Bravo Murphy lad, and the second one?' asks the doctor.

'The second one had indigestion and I gave him Gaviscon' says Murphy.

'Bravo, bravo! You're good at this and what about the third one?' asks the doctor.

'Sir, I was sitting here and suddenly the door flies open and a young gorgeous woman bursts in, she does. Like a bolt outta da blue, she tears off her clothes, she does, taking off everyting including her bra and her panties and she lies down on the table, she does, spreadin' her legs and shouts: 'HELP ME for the love of St Patrick! For five years I have not seen any man!''

'Tunderin' lard Jesus Murphy, what did you do?' asks the doctor.

'I put drops in her eyes.'

A young Chinese couple gets married. She's a virgin. Truth be told, he's a virgin too, but she doesn't know that.

On their wedding night, she cowers naked under the sheets as her husband undresses in the darkness. He climbs into bed next to her and tries to be reassuring. He whispers, 'I know dis you firss time and you berry flighten. I promise you, I give you anyting you want, I do anyting - juss anyting you want. You juss ask. Whatchu want?' he says, trying to sound experienced and worldly, which he hopes will impress her.

A thoughtful silence follows and he waits patiently (and eagerly) for her request. She eventually shyly whispers back, 'I want to try someting I have hear about from odda girls.... Numbaa 69.'

More thoughtful silence, this time from him. Eventually, in a puzzled tone he asks her...'You want...... Garlic Chicken wif snow peas???'
