After rough July, Hamels eyes success with Cubs

ST. LOUIS -- New Chicago Cubs pitcher Cole Hamels, isn't worried about finding success again after struggling for much of the season, especially in July, when he posted an 11.12 ERA for his old team, the Texas Rangers.

"You get a little bit of revitalized energy," Hamels said Saturday of joining the first-place Cubs. "There's something that you're playing for and I think that takes into effect and ups your game."

Hamels arrived in St. Louis midday and said hello to his new teammates, including a former one in Yu Darvish.
