Cole Hamels was wonderful last night [nh], limiting the Padres to one run over eight strong to earn his first victory in 45 days. Perhaps it was the fact that the Padres are the worst team in the majors, but I think he was just trying to impress his parents.
Gary and Amanda Hamels, who reside in Sandy Eggo, had some primo seats to catch a glimpse of their son. When King Cole got out of the seventh by inducing an inning-ending double play, the cameras panned to the proud parents and Gary was downing a celebratory Miller Lite:
Good job, Mr. H. Besides the fact that you’re not allowed to drink beer on national TV, Cole’s pop looks like the type that grabs 3 Miller Lites at the concession stand just before they cut off beer sales in the middle of the 7th. Hey – he’s just like me!
(Tip of the red cap to The Kreesh for the heads-up)

I guess it’s hard to blame Cole for being a prima donna with the chiropractor thing. His dad drinks Miller Lite—just like every 18-35 year old woman in America.

Seriously, Miller Lite blows

Joe, while ML is certainly not my beer of choice, I do usually drink these at the stadium instead of paying for 12 ounces of imported beer for .50 cents more. If my choices are Coors Light, Budweiser, Bud Light and Miller Lite — I’m going Miller Lite.
Then, just to prove that I’m no sissy-boy, I grab a hot chick’s titties and punch a guy in the face.

Out of frame left:
Uncle Gus Hamels, with whom Gary is having a chug contest. Uncle Gus, much as meech curiously predicted, was arrested for later grabbing Heidi Hamel’s assets and punching Eric Bruntlett in the throat.

Well, then, all is excused. As long as titties are involved.
