As before, this Hump Day Hottie is featuring a favorite hottie of one of the other Ladies… about whom I was woefully ignorant until recently. I have only myself to blame for missing out on the beautiful bendy-ness of Cole Hamels. Excuse me, I mean “Colbert Michael Hamels” – come on, Colbert is an awesome first name. He’s a Cali boy out of San Diego with a wicked pitching arm (his change-up has a better whiff rate than the legendary Johan Santana) and a tall lanky body that’s all muscle and gumby goodness. He’s also the owner of some gorgeously intense baby blues, lovely dark hair (which, I’m sorry dear Cole, looks better short and tight- but I’ll take him with the long shag he’s got now, too) and a disarming smile. With this arsenal of hotness at his disposal, it’s high time Cole gets some love. I know Clare will be happy to step in.
Lots more Cole goodies, including cute video, after the jump…
Cole through the years
Back to your regularly scheduled goodness…
Cole smells like strawberries and peppermint (click on the “Locker Room” video). And here’s some short, but sweet, video of Cole doing a PSA for a local homeless charity- where in the world did he pick up that Yankee accent?
Ladies... 
Look at the size of those … umm… feet.
Crap, you’ve gone and blown your wad for a future Voodoo Sabermetrics. You have to do the gentlewomanly thing and let Clare fill in for you when we cover Hamels.
Oh my word.
I’d watch out. Clare might kill you if she make a move on her baseball boyfriend.
That pic in the gray shirt? HOLY MOLY. 3-alarm fire.
Brady Quinn is intrigued by your ideas, and would like to subscribe to your interwebs newsletter.
Is his first name pronounced by Steve Colbert’s last name?
Cole’s a looker. I love that pic where he has something on his shoulder, and the one where he’s lifting his shirt.
I can’t believe just how much you ladies really know about sports…it is utterly impressive…keep up the gr8 work…i love the site…
I’m making no moves on Clare’s baseball boyfriend- just helping to spread the wonderment of her man to the masses.
I never watch the phillies, but I just might start now….
Blue Devil- next to the A’s, the Phillies have the hottest roster in baseball. Cole, Chase, Pat, Ryan H., Greg, Aaron, Ryan M. Seriously yummy.
Well if you ladies could do me a favor and tell Mr. “20 wins” to step it up a notch for my fantasy teams, I would greatly appreciate it.
You mean, like 4 K’s in the first 6 batters he faces?
That’s a good start, but can Mr. Wonderful do it right-handed?
How’s about 8 K’s, 2 hits of his own and nothing out of the other team through 6?
And he can do it any way he wants to.
Not too shabby until…
7 strong, 10 K’s, quite a nice day’s work at the office.
I feel you jinxed him. I’m going to tell Clare, who was at the game, it was your fault.
Cole has absolutley filthy stuff…he was unhittable tonight with the exception of that one pitch to JJ Hardy (who’s having quite a year himself)
Clare was at the game?! Now I feel bad. When I heard that he had a perfect game, I had to turn to the game, and jinx him (it’s a skill I have). Now I feel bad.
The story was nice, but can we get more pictures?
Agreed, shorty- he was NASTY last night. In all the right ways. And thank goodness J.J. Hardy is unbelievably beautiful, otherwise I’d just have to hate him.
METSY! I can’t believe you! Poor sad little Clare! (did that make you feel guilty? ;)
And Jebus, next time, I’ll swear to try and find some pictures to post.
Hi — this is Clare’s reanimated corpse posting on her behalf. Clare is currently sipping a mai tai in heaven with Elvis, Mother Theresa, Brian Piccolo, and Ted Williams’ head.
Before she dropped dead from joy after coming home and seeing this post, she posted a story on The 700 Level about being at last night’s game.
Enjoy!
Clare’s reanimated corpse would also like to mention that she wishes Cole would wear his pants high-cuffed more often. Also, the puka shell necklace has to go. He looks a little too much like Kenny Chesney for comfort there.
I could not agree more, Clare’s corpse. For a second, you had me worried I had somehow missed realizing he was high-cuffing it last night (why don’t more ballplayers realize that they look EXPONENTIALLY hotter when high-cuffed?), but no… he was in his normal pull-the-hem-of-my-pants-under-my-heel look he sports. Sigh.
You ladies are doing God’s work. Clare, I went to the Reds/Phillies game that featured the triple play and Cole’s 15Ks. Not quite as thrilling as the possibility of a no-hitter, but pretty swoon inducing none the less.
Clare’s reanimated corpse missed the 15K game, so she is extremely jealous of you, emily caroline. That game was on her birthday, and she was at her friend’s wedding dress fitting that day.
Is there a place we can send donations and/or flowers? Like the “Clare Recovery from Cole Overload Fund”?
HotNess.

He was so nice to me despite an embarrassing moment
Yup, that’s Cole all right…I have some great shots of him when he was in elementary school…went to school with my son. Comes from a sweet family.
