    Correct; we can now only dream about NHL in Houston. It's good the Pens staying in Pittsburgh, though.

    I'll see your Van Benschoten and raise you a Jennings and a Williams.

    don't do it, Van Benschoten was 0-7 with a 10+ ERA last year, this year is more of the same.

    You kind of feel sorry for him, but then again he was a 1st round pick and got paid large sums when he was drafted so who cares.

    i didn't know the "large sums of money" part, but i told my son last night that i felt sorry for the guy. that it was probably always this guy's dream to be a big leaguer, and it's gone just horribly.

    Did anyone else notice that Chris Sampson has been part of the equation in ending the last two slumps?

    I propose that we give the following nickname ...

    Chris "Slump Buster" Sampson

    or for you urbanly inclined ...

    Chris "Busta Slump" Sampson

    :)

    That kind of implies that Chris sleeps with fat, ugly chicks. You know, "slump busters". Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just sayin'.

    Or that Chris the "undesirable" that the Astos use to bust their slump.
