He said, she said
Go screw, Bill Hall.
In today's game against the Astros, Cole Hamels threw one up and in on Bill Hall. Hall didn't like the pitch and started jawing (love that word) with Cole. Both benches had to be warned.
After the game, Hamels, who is now sporting a badass beard, said Hall is a "good guy" and that the ordeal wasn't that big of a, well, deal.
Hall? Heh: [Chron.com]
"I don’t know if he was mad because he gave up a homer (to Carlos Lee in the previous at-bat) or if he was mad because the umpire gave me time. But I’m not going to let him speed-pitch me. Obviously, he threw a pitch in, and I’m not going to let him disrespect me either. He kind of said something that I didn’t like too much. It’s over with.
He’s definitely a marked man for me now, so when I do some damage off him, I’m going to let him know I did some damage off him. I can guarantee that.
I don’t feel like I do a lot of things to have pitchers mad at me for doing things on the field. I feel like I play the game the right way. But if you disrespect me, I’m going to do my best to disrespect you back. Obviously not in a way to disrespect the game, but obviously I’m going to let him know when I face him."
Listen, Bill, you're not going to let anybody know anything. Cole will most likely miss the Astros when they come to Philly for the first three games of the season, but something tells me Doc or Clifton will remember Hall's little comment and deliver him some sweet, velvety music just below his stubbly chin.
Hall is 3-for-22 with seven strike outs against Hamels during his career. Get 'em, Bill.

Apparently Bill Hall hasn’t been doing much damaging
I LOVE new people to hate on meangingless teams that aren’t worth hating.
Think we have a budding Nyjer Morgan on our hands.
Who the hell is named Bill anymore, anyway?
No homo, but Hamels’ beard is pretty epic. I think he should keep it. Somebody’s got to have an awesome beard now that Werth is gone.
How is Hamels gonna face this minor leaguer during the regular season?
Bill Hall, really?
We’re talking about practice, right? Practice. Not a game. We’re talking about practice.
When is Hamels getting bump to AAA to see Hall again??
I had this clown as one of my bench players on my fantasy team until I read / laughed at this earlier. Had to take ol Bill to Drop City! Dude is gonna get boo’d big time!
Exactly when is Bill Hall gonna “do some damage” off Cole? When he plays ‘MLB 2K11’? Please!
I didnt know Don Cheadle played ball?!
Who IS Bill Hall? Never even heard his name before!!
We use friendship writing a book, a thick book.
