I didn't think much of it, and thought even less when Ken Rosenthal and a female ESPN reporter, who were present, said it was all said as a joke, but stories take on a life of their own.

Hamels had a disappointing season by his standards. His comment about waiting for the season to end was prefaced by him saying he definitely wanted to take the mound in Game 6. He's only 25, so I think his best seasons are ahead of him.

Myers is a free agent, and by most accounts the Phillies are going to part ways. He's an odd duck with a tremendous curve ball at times. Someone will sign him to a multi-year contract.
