Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels clarified some controversial comments. He wants to pitch again in the World Series if the team needs him in a potential Game 7. Hamels upset fans and created a stir when he said that he couldn't wait for the season to be over after a poor performance in Saturday night's Game 3. "Sometimes I might not say the best things or the smartest things, but I've learned and am learning," he said. "I wasn't able to sleep the past couple of nights because of it." Hamels allowed five runs over 4 1/3 innings in an 8-5 loss in Game 3. "I can't wait for it to end," Hamels said after the game. "It's been mentally draining. At year's end, you just can't wait for a fresh start." He reached out to manager Charlie Manuel to make sure they were on the same page. "I think Charlie knows me. He has managed me for quite a few years. I think the only doubt it left in people's minds were the fans, and you know, it hurts. I love the city of Philadelphia, I play as hard as I possibly can. I might not necessarily have the results that they hope [for], but I know that if I go out there, and do everything I possibly can, and in the end they see [that], then I think they can respect that."
