Waiting for the Elbow News

Cole Hamels doesn't think his sore elbow is serious:

"I'm not necessarily nervous," Hamels said. "It's just a matter of listening to your body and trying to pay attention when you feel some discomfort. I felt it on two pitches in the bullpen and it just didn't feel right.

"I know it's not serious because I talked to guys who have had Tommy John [reconstructive elbow] surgery. They asked me if I could do all these moves and when I could they said I was OK."

That, of course, remains to be seen.

The Phillies are weathering the Utley injury well. They are 14-9 since Chase broke his hand, a .609 winning percentage and the same as the Mets. They were only three games above .500 when Utley went down. Maybe they can do the same in Cole's absence.
