Today was Hampton's first April loss. Chris, if I can say anything good about Hampton, it's that he has the drive and attitude of a winner. The fact of the matter is that the atmosphere of Coors will mess up everyone's head. Granted we only have 8 seasons of history to go by, but Colorado has yet to have a good pitcher win there. Kyle and Hampton are the prime 2 examples.
