I think this deserves to be separate from the Atlanta Braves post, as this whole thing has moved beyond the ridiculous and into the paranormal.
Mike Hampton, who should be a spokesperson for Hampton Inn (because he belongs in one), is hurt again. Yes, "First Aid," as I shall call him from this moment forward tweaked his groin in the 1st inning in a AAA rehab game.
Lately, all the injuries seem to be happening just before his moment to take the mound on a major league field.
Question: Is it mental at this point? Not to say the injuries are fake. Just wondering if his mind-body connection is sabatoging the whole affair in fear of success, or a real comeback.
Thoughts?
If he ever does make it back to the mound, some team ought to make it "First Aid Kit" night. First 10,000 to the ballpark receive free first aid kits. If he makes it past the 4th inning without injury, 1,000 random ticket holders get a free night's stay at the Hampton Inn of choice.
This guy is surely just messing with us at this point.
