Pills 1, Homeopathy 0
So, after spending the first two weeks of his down time with a sore elbow chewing on Asian roots or something, Cole Hamels finally realized that "glucosomine, conjointin and fish oil" (yes, he actually was taking that crap Larry King hocks on the radio - because, you know, we all aspire to age like Larry King) wasn't getting the inflammation out. So he relented and went on the "dosepak" that is typically 
prescribed to solve tendinitis.
Lo and behold, it worked! Hamels threw 30 pitches from the mound Wednesday, had no problems, felt great and hopes to make three regular-season starts, including one of the final two games in St. Louis next week.

Why wouldn't the Phils insist he go the normal route in the first place? He's 23 years old, what does he know?
Well, I don't think the Phillies were happy about it. However, the bottom line is that it's his body, and you can't force a guy to take medicine that he doesn't want to take.
