Josh Hamilton gets his drink on ..again

[Rlhay2]

All it says is he had a drink, and that's all the information that's out there. I'll hold my judgment.

This is sad, He seemed like he was making good progress too.

Who gives a shit? Hamilton is a great athlete. If he has one or two drinks a year what-the-fuck-ever. However, he does need to drink more milk, so he stops getting hurt. White Russians? He doesn't get paid to be sober. He gets paid to hit dingers and catch......well....dingers.

The Rangers. When they signed him, they knew of his off the field problems and gave him a "zero tolerance" policy when it came to his drinking.

I wonder how Kinsler fit into all of it. The word is he went up there to get him to leave. I guess we will find out.

He goes to Sherlock's, too, not some obscure dive. I'm sure there's pics out there, and Sports Illustrated is probably working on a spread in the next issue. Something like,"How to shit-can a $50 million contract", with Hamilton on the cover.

No, I still can't watch any MLB stuff ..

Lol. There hasn't been any to watch!

That said, calling it a full on relapse is a bit premature at this point. All it says is he had a drink, and that's all the information that's out there. I'll hold my judgment.

Spot on. Funny how no one has produced a picture of this yet either. I guess no one there had a camera phone. On the radio last night, I heard that Sherlock's is denying he was there. It all seems fishy to me.

If it is true, I hope Hambone can fight off these demons again. There are so many people that look up to him and so many kids that want to be him. It hurts to see someone struggle with an addiction, especially if they're a good person. I hope that the whole thing is not true.

He's having a press conference this afternoon, so apparently, something happened.

Again, it's part of his obligation to the Rangers, and he has even stated that it HAS affected his body and durability over the years. You can't continue to pour poison into your body and expect it to perform at it's optimum level.

how his press conference shoulda gone:

i went drinkin and it was kick ass!

[Vertnut]

He's saying "3 or 4" drinks on Monday, but did not do any drugs.

He's about as humble as anyone can be. I really hope he's alright.

..and flush $60-$70 million down the drain. Brilliant!

[Big Dad]

He said he had 3-4 before Ian got there, then after he dropped him off he went back out and had some more

I take it that he is having problems with the wife ? He hinted around like that anyway ?

He was humble as can be ..

Hope he gets past this latest bump
