Cole Hamels, the MVP of the 2008 World Series, is a "long shot" to pitch for the Phillies on Opening Day against the Braves. "I don't know that it's out of the question, but I think it would be a long shot," pitching coach Rich Dubee said Tuesday, "just because we've got to get him up and running again. We've got to stretch him out ... he's only up to about 52 or 54 pitches. We like our guys if they're gonna pitch [at the start of the regular season] to be up to 100 pitches [by the end of camp]. "But I don't know. This guy has always risen to the occasion." Hamels received a shot of anti-inflammatory medication on Tuesday, and is expected to restart his throwing program within a few days.
