He's Alive- Mike Hampton
Mike Hampton is alive and well. He's never actually been dead so the alive part of the previous statement has always held true, but the well part not so much. The man has had more injuries than the dipshits participants in the Running of the Bulls. The southpaw, now 37 years old, has yet to allow a run in 9 relief appearances for the Arizona Diamondbacks this year. A 0.00 ERA...

Getting a Taste of the Hampton Inn
Time for another stop on the Mike Hampton career train. Today’s stop, Arizona.
Ok, so the 15-year MLB pitcher isn’t coming right to Arizona because the Diamondbacks signed the 37-year old to a minor league deal. He is going to report to Reno.
Ok, really? How many injuries has this guy had? He’s had more season-ending injuries than I can remember. Why...

Mike Hampton: The Unluckiest Man Alive
All Mike Hampton has ever wanted to do is throw a baseball from a major league mound. Apparently, the forces of nature, God, or whatever is in charge of his destiny has made that virtually impossible to do for any extended period of time. The injury-prone, papier-mâché lefty will miss the entire 2010 season due to a torn rotator cuff in his pitching shoulder along with some other...

Mike Hampton Hits Opposite Field Home Run Off Johan Santana To Secure Astros Win
It wasn't Johan's day. He got all KINDS of hits from his batters, but he lost anyway, giving up 12 hits, the most he has given up in one game this year. He could have given up a LOT more runs, but the Astros left men on in every inning except the second and 6th.
I was surprised that he didn't throw very many changeups and perhaps that is why he struck out only 3 batters...

Mike Hampton Beats Pirates For The 4th Time This Year
Mike Hampton has a W in his last 10 decisions against the Pirates. That might could almost be better than Roy's streak against the Reds, because Roy has a bunch of NDs amongst the wins. (I don't guess that I should note that counting the 4 Pirates games, Hampton is 5-5 with a 4.16 ERA/1.35 WHIP and without them, he's 1-5 with a 5.28 ERA and 1.57 WHIP - only 3 of his 7 QS/ 14 GS were...
