February 11th, 2008 at 11:29 amNo, it’s very, very right.
Classic, Mac.
February 11th, 2008 at 11:43 amnice. I had to explain it to my office mate. Not sure if she gets it. Unfortunately, we all get it too well.
February 11th, 2008 at 11:47 amVery funny and sadly accurate.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:05 pmunder Ben maller’s rumors there is an article stating that MLB might suspend Pedro for cockfighting. I cant read the article, but its there
February 11th, 2008 at 12:39 pmI heard Hampton pulled his oblique taking a dump.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:54 pmI don’t think I’m going to dramatize that one.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:57 pm“Oh, I hit my head on the table!”
Very Python! Thanks, Mac.
And I meant to congratulate you sooner on your move into the acting/video realm, but I’ve been living my own drama called, “Death of a Motherboard.”
February 11th, 2008 at 1:12 pmSo was the snapping sound a breaking radius, ulna, wrist, etc. or an ulnar collateral ligament? If it’s just a bone, then he’ll need to injure something else within just a few weeks.
February 11th, 2008 at 1:32 pmDang it…I hurt my elbow while watching this video. I should be ready in time for Opening Day, though. Maybe.
February 11th, 2008 at 1:36 pmNice one, Mac. Gave me good laugh with a mouth full of ham sandwich.
February 11th, 2008 at 1:36 pmThis just in: Mike Hampton injured his tongue in a ham-sandwich related accident. He is believed to be out until July.
February 11th, 2008 at 1:44 pmMy barber said Hampton’s right arm is jelious of his left so he will have TJ on the right arm on Thursday and will be ready to come back around August 34th.
February 11th, 2008 at 1:47 pmMac, I think you should do a weekly blog
February 11th, 2008 at 2:19 pmYou guys will all be sorry when Hampton pitches 200+ innings with an ERA below 3!
Signed
February 11th, 2008 at 2:42 pmSteve Avery
Brian Jordan
Craig Wilson
Raul Mondesi
Shane Reynolds
Bob Horner
If Hampton does that, we win 95+ games.
Hate to say it, but Pedro has a better chance of doing that for the Mets—y’know, like 11-percent to 0.1-percent.
February 11th, 2008 at 2:45 pmActually, I would give Rickey Henderson a better chance of signing with a team at mid-year and winning the stolen base title than I would for Hampton to pitch over 200 innings.
February 11th, 2008 at 2:53 pmSteve Avery has abetter chance to throw 200 innings
February 11th, 2008 at 3:01 pmDavid lee Roth has a better chance of throwing 200 innings
February 11th, 2008 at 3:07 pmCy Young has a better chance of throwing 200 innings.
February 11th, 2008 at 3:11 pmThis is a fun game. Hmmmm, lets see, Axl Rose has a better chance of throwing 200 innings.
February 11th, 2008 at 3:12 pmSpeaking of David Lee Roth, I was watching the “Jump” video once and it occured to me that he probably would have made a fine wide receiver.
February 11th, 2008 at 3:14 pmActually, Hampton winning the Cy Young is an even bet with Axl ever putting out another album.
February 11th, 2008 at 3:14 pmWhat will we hear first, “Chinese Democracy” or “Hampton finishes the first”?
February 11th, 2008 at 3:16 pmWhich comes first: 1) the release of Chinese Democracy or 2) Hampton throwing 200 innings – total?
February 11th, 2008 at 3:17 pmDemocracy in China will happen before the release of “Chinese Democracy.”
February 11th, 2008 at 3:29 pmWhich comes first: Braves fans forgiving Mike Hampton for his injuries, or rock fans forgiving Axl Rose for all his sins?
February 11th, 2008 at 3:30 pmBob Rathbun is having a conversation just outside my office door. Man, that voice is unmistakable. I popped out and said hello, but what else could I say?
February 11th, 2008 at 3:32 pmTime for an oil change?
February 11th, 2008 at 3:35 pmI may in the minority, but I liked Rathbun. Torborg was a terrible partner for him, and played into his faults, but he was pretty good with Downing and Paciorek, who weren’t exactly ideal commentators.
February 11th, 2008 at 3:35 pmAll that may be true about Axl Rose, but if Guns ‘n Roses ever does a reunion tour, I’m going.
February 11th, 2008 at 3:35 pmI thought Rathbun was underappreciated largely because his partners were not that good. To be good with Torborg and Paciorek, that takes talent.
February 11th, 2008 at 3:38 pmBob Dole has a better chance of throwing 200 innings.
February 11th, 2008 at 3:43 pmBoog is a huge upgrade over Rathburn. Rathburn should stick with calling the Lincoln, Jefferson, Washington, Adams, Piolot Financial Raycom SEC fourth best basketball GAME OF THE WEEK!
February 11th, 2008 at 3:43 pmJim Abbot has a better chance of throwing 200 innings with his right arm.
February 11th, 2008 at 3:44 pmjust scrolling through the post and I have a recap.
Pedro is playing with cocks again
I have a great chance of throwing 200+ innings
and Hampton got injured while receiving an oil check
good day so far…
February 11th, 2008 at 3:44 pmHow’s he gonna hold the ball Smitty? Jeez…
February 11th, 2008 at 3:46 pmBalance it on the stub, and sling it!
February 11th, 2008 at 3:49 pmDon’t get me wrong, I love Boog.
February 11th, 2008 at 3:53 pmSciambi >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rathbun
February 11th, 2008 at 3:54 pmDan Quayle would become president before Mike Hampton pitches 200 innings.
February 11th, 2008 at 3:55 pmUPDATE: guys, I injured my left hand while scrolling through these posts. I should be ready by early May if all goes well.
February 11th, 2008 at 3:59 pmEarly May is code for August 34th.
February 11th, 2008 at 4:01 pmor contract insurance claim
February 11th, 2008 at 4:04 pmThe Jim Abbott comments might have gone a bit far – then again, I snickered when I read the stump comment. So like I say to my best friend whenever we make inappropriate comments to one another, “Well, I guess I’ll see ya in Hell (where, by the way, it will be snowing before Mike Hampton throws 200 innings).”
February 11th, 2008 at 4:07 pmCJ,
You say “Well, I guess I’ll see ya in Hell (where, by the way, it will be snowing before Mike Hampton throws 200 innings).” to your best friend whenever we make inappropriate comments?
February 11th, 2008 at 4:55 pmTo add to the shocking news of the Hampton Email Injury Roundup, John Rocker made controversial statements about steroid use today.
February 11th, 2008 at 6:22 pmIn more stunning news from the world of sports — Latrell Spreewell is having financial trouble.
February 11th, 2008 at 6:31 pmi just turned down two free tickets to go see van halen in jacksonville. i figured with all the new security, they wont let me bring in a bag of wine bottles to throw at d.l. roth, so why bother going. my hearing has suffered enough.
February 11th, 2008 at 6:50 pmunder Ben maller’s rumors there is an article stating that MLB might suspend Pedro for cockfighting.
How can you suspend a guy for doing something legal in his home country? Something that is not explicitly banned by MLB?
Cockfighting is also legal in this country in some places I believe. Louisiana and….New Mexico?
February 11th, 2008 at 7:41 pm#50 – I dont see how MLB could do it. The Mets I guess could because they are his employer, but it wont happen
February 11th, 2008 at 7:47 pm@48
Wow, maybe he did need to feed his family.
February 11th, 2008 at 7:47 pmIIRC, cockfighting was legal in Alabama until recently, but you weren’t allowed to bet on it. Riiiiiiight.
Players get suspended for things that aren’t illegal, under the “interests of the game” clause. The union, of course, will fight that, and the union, of course, will win.
February 11th, 2008 at 7:51 pmMets sign Tony Armas, Jr.
February 11th, 2008 at 8:01 pmDan,
Hm. Sounds like they don’t want to run into the situation they did last year.
February 11th, 2008 at 8:15 pmlet me get this straight…………its legal for people to fight and try to maim each other but illegal for a couple of mean roosters to duke it out? ah,what the hell…………..suspend pedro anyway.
February 11th, 2008 at 8:31 pmhey, while you’re at it, suspend everyone on the mets.
February 11th, 2008 at 8:46 pmDid the Mets get Armas because they think Pedro and Duque will want company on the DL?
February 11th, 2008 at 9:06 pm@56,
The difference is the roosters don’t have a choice in the matter.
February 11th, 2008 at 9:27 pmThey’re roosters….who really cares?
February 11th, 2008 at 9:49 pmMac–that video is pretty funny…
Does anybody know or remember or care for that matter: Was it Lonnie Smith that once got injured from biting into a super hot pop tart?
February 12th, 2008 at 12:38 am59……………..cattle dont get a choice either
February 12th, 2008 at 6:00 ammeat is murder
February 12th, 2008 at 8:07 am@60, 62,
Well, then, why do we care about dogs? Why not start a TV show devoted to blowing up cats or something? Probably would get good ratings. It’s one thing to kill animals for food–the entire animal kingdom does that–and another to kill them for sport, especially torturing them. I don’t get the “sport” in hunting deer just for the hell of it and I don’t get the “sport” in watching roosters fight. I realize, however, that this position makes me a bleeding heart liberal on this blog.
February 12th, 2008 at 9:03 amwho says we care about dogs? mike vick has a better chance of throwing 200 innings this year than mike hampton.
February 12th, 2008 at 9:08 ami luv bacon
February 12th, 2008 at 9:18 amI love venison.
February 12th, 2008 at 9:22 amIf God didn’t want you to eat cows, he wouldn’t have made them out of meat!
February 12th, 2008 at 11:58 amI finally got around to watching this and all I have to say is: LMAO!
February 12th, 2008 at 2:58 pmHey, Rob Neyer links to your “film” on his ESPN blog. Warns us not to drink milk while watching.
February 13th, 2008 at 10:22 amYeah, but al least he still gets paid…What a life
February 13th, 2008 at 2:52 pmKerry Wood read this blog and felt a twinge in his elbow. He is looking to rehab with Mike Hampton and be ready by the August 34th deadline.
February 13th, 2008 at 3:18 pmKerry and Mike got nuthin’ on me!
February 13th, 2008 at 3:40 pmHAHA, made me giggle.
