The Houston Astros say starting pitcher Mike Hampton will miss next season after undergoing surgery on his left shoulder.
A statement issued by the Astros on Tuesday say surgeons at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York repaired a full left rotator cuff tear in Hampton's pitching shoulder. Dr. David Altchek, the New York Mets' medical director, also repaired partial damage to the labrum in the shoulder.

A "full left rotator cuff tear" and "partial damage to the labrum" in his pitching shoulder? Wow.
-
And to think that we put off DL'ing him as long as possible. I guess the trainers are not capable of diagnosing a torn rotator cuff. So that is two shoulders procedures down, and two knee operations to go for Hampton..
-
I am surprised he could lift his left arm.
-
Astros manager Cecil Cooper said he had spoken with Hampton, and fully expects him to be back for his next turn in the rotation.

I heard he was day-to-day.

he'll pitch out of the pen...every day.

This actually makes me have a bit more respect for the man. Can you imagine how much it hurt him to go out and start 21 games?

I have zero doubts as to Mike Hampton's competitiveness, physical toughness, or mental tenacity.

Can you imagine how much everything is going to hurt him in a few years? Mike really, really, really needs to consider retiring now.

He'll be 39 if/when he comes back. I don't think it takes much imagination to figure out how effective he'll be.

I use a word that don't mean nothin, like lupid.

I hear Hampton once got busy in the Shed's bathroom...
(Picturing him with the Graucho glasses and that hat on the mound is pretty amusing)
