Does the fact that the Phillies topped the Mets three seasons in a row get you down? It bums me out, for sure.
But every time I feel a little depressed, I look at these photos of Cole Hamels, and suddenly nothing seems so bad anymore.
Here’s Cole Hamels and his wife, in an ad for luxury condos in luxurious Philadelphia:

Excellent reader Chris has provided more embarrassing photos of Cole Hamels.
There’s this (Get it? Coal Hamels!):

And, of course, this:

Actually, come to think of it, it’s not nearly the most embarrassing photo of Cole Hamels yet. That’s got to be the one with the kids in the bed.


WTF is going on in that third picture? Cole looks like he’s all ready go motorboat those fantastic cannons, but there is a little african american girl having a thumb war with the son of Zack Morris.
This is a great question. Why does Cole Hamels frolic in bed with children that are not his own?
If this wasn’t Cole Hamels, there would probably be a police investigation into what exactly is going on here.

I think these should be linked somewhere in the sidebar so that whenever life is getting us down, we’ve got a pick-me-up at the ready.
Done.
Dunno, if I had that bitch, I’d flaunt it. Heidi ain’t too bad, either.
I’ve seen a lot of pictures on the web, but nothing like these. Awesome post.
