    Mike Hampton Starting For Braves

    Holy smokes! Mike Hampton is starting today for the Braves.

    Hasn't pitched in the bigs since 2005. Before I got married.

    He's earned something like 30 million dollars since his last pitch.

    It looks like he could get a win if he can get through 5 innings without blowing the 6 run lead his team just gave him.

    WOW. 9 Runs, 6 Earned off Cole Hamels in 3 and 2 thirds before they took him out.
    All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

    The over/under for Hampton getting hurt is apparently 4 hours.

    Aren't the Rockies still paying him to NOT pitch for the Braves? That has to be the all time worst contract ever.

    In 2009, he'll be an Astro, pending a physical.

    Hampton should pitch for the Rockies and Braves, and pay them to do it. What a joke.

    Too bad. This is a free agent I hoped Walt would talk to seriously. I made that argument here some weeks ago but was told he was a certainty to re-sign with Atlanta.

    Mike Hampton = Carl Pavano = Eric Milton


    Stay far far away from Mike Hampton.

    Why would you want him on this team in GABP?

    Here in Houston, there saying it's pretty much a done deal that Hampton's signed with the Astros...just pending a physical. And it looks like they've given up any ideas of re-signing Wolf.

    ~edit~ hehe...didn't see 'unassisted''s first post of yesterday. Nevermind.
