Top 10 Things that Went Through Cole Hamels' Mind After Winning the World Series

2009 Topps Heritage New
Age Performers #NAP11
Rockies 7, Phillies 3
Game 43 - Thursday Afternoon, May 21st in Denver
Record - 18-25, 4th Place, 7 games behind the Nationals

One Sentence Summary:  Phillies pitchers Jerome Williams and Elvis Araujo got knocked around and the Phillies couldn't mount a comeback as the Rockies won, 7-3.

What It Means:  Williams has struggled in May and after this game, his ERA for the month is an ugly 7.03.  He allowed five runs on eight hits in his five innings of work.  Araujo allowed two more runs in his two innings of work.

What Happened:  Ryan Howard hit his ninth home run of the year and Chase Utley had two more hits to raise his average to .169.  In his last 12 games, Utley is hitting .333 (13 for 39) with five doubles and a triple.

Featured Card:  I liked that the Phillies tipped their cap to the retiring David Letterman in this article on their website.  In honor of Letterman's final television show, which aired Wednesday night, here's Cole Hamels reading Top 10 Things that Went Through Cole Hamels' Mind After Winning the World Series.
