Cole Hammers

I have never seen a no hitter or a perfect game in person, and after last night, I still haven't. But I did see a hell of an exciting game, as the Phillies defeated the Brewers for the third straight night, to complete their climb up to .500.

Cole Hamels took a perfect game into the 7th inning before walking Rickie Weeks and giving up a homer to J.J. Hardy. It still energized a sellout crowd, there for Ryan Howard Bobble Figure Night (but not, alas, for Ryan Howard himself.)

Your interest piqued by Hamels? Here's more facts about Cole. As always, it's funnier if you substitute Bill Brasky's name for the pitcher's.

The other highlight of the night was that Becca and I, three days before our wedding, got to banter with the Phillie Phanatic, who joined us (and our parents) at our seats. We tried to invite him to the wedding, but I don't think he heard us. My mom: "who's that Sesame Street guy?"
