Comedian Joe Conklin has been a constant in Philadelphia radio for more than 20 years, with his spot-on impressions of Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Cole Hamels,

Roy Halladay fine following Cole Hamels in rotation:

Roy Halladay gets "it". He has no qualms with Cole Hamels being in line for the start on Opening Day for the Phillies. Quoting Doc on Hamels being penciled in to start Opening Day at this point in time: "It's his time. He’s been here for a long time, he’s had a lot of success here. There aren’t many teams where you have a World Series MVP and then you bring in four to five guys to pitch in front of him. It should have been his spot a long time ago. I think it’s something he’s going to embrace. And really after Opening Day, we’re all five days apart anyway. I talked to him about it when we’re going out and doing drills, stuff like that, it’s time for him now to kind of step up and take charge in those situations and establish himself as the head of the staff.”

WORLD SERIES MVP, home grown through Phil's system, chose to stay in Philly for 3 contracts (now for a long time), continues to improve, never in trouble and during his parade speech said he has one goal: get back here again. Cole Hamels is Philadelphia's greatest professional athlete. Why no love?

Tim Collins, Steve Cishek, Heath Bell, Jeremy Affeldt, Glen Perkins, Mitchell Boggs, Luke Gregorson, and Chris Perez???
