Our main man Cole Hamels just added a bit of fuel to the Mets/ Phils rivalry by calling the Mets a bunch of choke artists during an interview on NYC's WFAN radio. In case you missed it, here are his exact words:
it's going to be quite interesting up in Shea this year. No one can deny that.
Last year and this year I think we did believe that," Hamels said on WFAN. "Three years ago we didn't because they smoked everybody, and I think we all thought they were going to win it all. Unfortunately that didn't happen. But, yeah, that's kind of what we believed and I think we're always going to believe that until they prove us wrong."New GM Ruben Amaro also got into the act by adding the following regarding the Mets' moves to strengthen their bullpen:
One of the show's hosts apparently gave Hamels a chance to back away from his comments.
He didn't.
"For the past two years they've been choke artists," Hamels said.
"I don't think it affects us much. They had Billy Wagner for three years and we still beat them the last two years."While I love Cole's comments, I really wish Ruben would shut up and find ways to add some talent for our 2009 title defense. He's done nothing so far that would merit him the ability to make these comments.
it's going to be quite interesting up in Shea this year. No one can deny that.

I believe it prefers to be called Citi Field now. Screw K-Rod and his 62 saves. He still blew 8 saves. Let's see how that number rises in NY. Bunch of choke artists. Now they have 2 Putz's. One in name and Wright in personality.
F&*k the Mets.
World Ph&ckin' Champions!!!!
