At 55-67, the Braves are far from their pre-season expectations and World Series aspirations. The team’s expected success hinged on a potentially dominant rotation that included Tim Hudson, John Smoltz, Tom Glavine, Mike Hampton, and Jair Jurrjens. It’s been five months since opening day and we’ve seen both Hudson and Smoltz undergo season-ending surgeries, while [...]

During his last time out, Mike Hampton earned his first win in three years. The 35-year old southpaw held the Giants to only two runs over seven innings, while the Braves’ offense rewarded him with eleven runs of support. This time, Hampton has a slightly more difficult task. That’s because the veteran starter will be [...]

And so we begin a four-game series against the Western Division leading Arizona Diamondbacks. There just might be some good pitching in this series. Both Haren and Webb will throw for the D-Backs, and Jurrjens and the resurgent Mike Hampton will toe the mound for the Braves, as well as the guy with the best ERA of any of these pitchers, Jorge Campillo (2.58). But tonight we get Charlie Morton, coming...

The veteran southpaw helped his own cause with a RBI double. From AP - SAN FRANCISCO - Mike Hampton earned his first victory in nearly three years and hit an RBI double, leading the Atlanta Braves past the San Francisco Giants 11-4 on Tuesday night. The 35-year-old Hampton had to feel great about this outing: He hadn't won since Aug. 14, 2005, for the Braves against Arizona -- 1,087 days earlier....
