Hampton puff piece

by KC Ryan on May 1, 2009 6:13 PM EDT

On mlb.com Mark Bowman put up a lengthy piece on Hampton. It basically talks about how misunderstood he is by the Atlanta fans and has Chipper and Huddy singing his praises. I don't care to hear anything ever again in my lifetime about this guy. He sucked the lifeforce out of the Braves for three years draining payroll and being a constant source of disappointment. After he took all that money he basically screwed us over by going to Houston when we offered him a better deal. I'm not sorry at all that he's gone but after sitting on his ass here for three years you would think that he might feel like he owed Atlanta something. I say good riddance to him and I hope no one reporting on the Braves ever writes anything again about his sorry ass.

Family rant?

Don’t think I’m familiar with that post so, no, it wasn’t me. I’m not normally negative about much of anything but this guy’s time in Atlanta made me sick to my stomach so I would prefer to never, ever hear his name again.

I mean, I understand. No professional athlete, I think, wants to be hurt, sit on his duff, and collect a pay check. He worked hard to get back to where he could take the ball and go to the mound.

That aside, Atlanta just won’t be a friendly place to him. IMO, I was more upset about him going to Houston than anything he did the prior three years. To just move on from the team that really bent over backwards for him. And the reason? Closer to his family….in Arizona.
