Phillies and Mets trash talks heat up: After Cole Hamels called the Mets "choke artists" in December on a New York Radio station, the annual Mets-Phillies trash talks are heating up. It all started with Jimmy Rollins two years ago and has been going strong so far. Both times though the Mets did choke and the Phillies prevailed and of course last year winning the World Series. Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez on Saturday called the Mets the team to beat in the NL East. Carlos Beltran also said that in 2008, but unlike Rollins, he couldn't deliver. Beltran kiddingly told New York reporters Tuesday that Cole Hamels, "will be watched every time he faces us and hopefully we kill him. Then he has to deal with the situation." Source phillies.com

Hamels not worries over SI cover jinx: Next week when you pick up a Sports Illustrated Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels will be on it. There is a jinx for the SI cover after many players did not play well or got injured shortly after being on the cover. Hamels however is not worried about it and says as long as he is not on the Madden NFL game cover he is fine. I agree with him.
