Twitter reactions to Hamels' no-hitter

Saturday provided Phillies fans with something to be happy about, if only for the day. Cole Hamels threw his first career no-hitter against the Cubs, who had not been no-hit in 50 years. As one could expect, Twitter had some great reactions to the gem, starting with the facts from the team he held hitless.

(If you didn't see it, he is Odubel Herrera's catch that ended the game.)

Former teammates offered their praise of the lefty.

Even the fellow Philadelphia teams and players congratulated Hamels on the feat.

Former Philadelphia Daily News Sports Editor Chuck Bausman pointed out what most were thinking, like it or not.

There were plenty of Hamels pictures circulating around the Internet, few better than this one.

Phillies Nation was happy. It was almost like old times...
