    It appears Bud Norris will make his debut today. He's warming up in bullpen.

    According to a tweet from Tags...

    Savior has arrived!

    Hampton is really biting the bullet. We really need a good start out of Moehler tomorrow.

    Mike Hampton's ERA rose by .64 of a run today.

    If Hampton starts again, I have an idea... let a reliever pitch the 1st inning then bring Hampton in. :D

    So, does today make a trade more likely or less?

    I think Norris may have just thrown a wild pitch in the bullpen... the ball ended up by Lee at 1st.

    Astros have just 1 series vs. PIT in 2nd half, bad news for Hampton. 4-0, 1.00 ERA vs. PIT. Just 1-5, 5.77 in 10 starts vs. everybody else (July 6)

    Hampton now 1-7, 6.21ERA when not facing PIT. He's 4-0,1.00 ERA vs. PIT. Just 6 QS this year, team 5-11 when he starts. (July 19)

    Hampton now 6-1 in 7 starts vs. former teams or Pirates. 0-6 in 10 starts vs. rest of MLB. Team is 6-11 in 17 starts, 6 of them QS. (July 24)

    After allowing 6R in 1st,Hampton's ERA when not facing Pittsburgh is 6.91.(today)

    You are right. Ortiz's last start is just so firmly stuck in my mind that I think of it as yesterday. Our bullpen is screwed.

    I'm going to take Norris' performance today with a grain of salt - to the Cubs hitters, he'll probably look like Cy Young after seeing what Hampton had.

    Bud Norris is walking to the mound to start the fifth. First Astros player to make his Major League debut this year. Pudge talking to him.

    I feel goosebumps on Gamecast lol

    It amazes me that we pinch hit for Hampton. He's a better hitter then anyone on the bench.

    My guess is they just want to let him put this game behind him ASAP.

    Good start. If he does that the rest of the season, I'm sure that would be a record.
