I'm a day or so late on this news, but whatever. It's still amazing no matter how many times you hear it.When you read the recaps of the Houston Astros 4-1 win over the the Pittsburgh Pirates, the first thing you see is how amazing it is that they "stopped their five-game skid" or that "Miguel Tejada had a base hit! Wow!"
No. You should not give a crap about any of that stuff. The real news here is that Mike Hampton pitched six innings, struck out eight batters, and did not allow a single run. He did all this, without getting hurt. Not even a hangnail.
Congratulations, Mike. Hopefully we didn't just jinx you.

Amazing.
He'll probably fall down the stairs today.
It would be bitter sweet to see Hampton have a good, healthy season, but I just don't see it happening. I'm setting the over/under at 8 starts for him.
It would be great to see him have a decent season after what seems like such a long layoff. I think the odds are against it, but it would be good to see him succeed again.
