How is this even possible? http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2...ive-no-discipline-in-the-wake-of-his-relapse/

And yet Rose & Shoeless Joe are still banned from the game... that is BULL SHIT

This guy has been playing that "disease" card since he's been up. Oh well, if his career continues to dive down the Boo Birds in Anaheim will be on him like stink on shit.

Wow, I didn't see this one coming, usually in most worlds, when one turns one self in voluntarily for drug abuses, they get off that 1st time, and have to complete Narcotics Anonymous.......


but we all know this is NOT the 1st time for Hamilton........utter bullshit, and I don't think the local natives are going to let josh pass on this one, hell the Halos may need to turn Hamilton into a DH, cuz the Boo-Birds in Anaheim are going to rain on his parade, Time to get a RF Bleacher seat, a dozen guys all with beer, and let it rain..........

I'm sure the Angels were looking for a way to void his contract but now they're screwed.

yeah, they are fkd, big time, and I have no doubt, Hamilton will one day be broke, bankrupt, out of baseball and $$$$, down on His luck, and might just find or steal, a Card-Board Condo on 3rd and Main St. Downtown L.A. aka SKID ROW........

He's fkd up what 3 times now, the 1st 2 with Meth in Texas, a 3rd time offender, will be a 4th, 5th and on offender........

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Another solid reason why Teams need to STOP handing out 10 year Multi-Million $$$ Contracts.......

 

[Rick2583]

Or at least put in substance clauses.

World in the palm of his hand and this is the shit he would rather do.

I agree Vic & sadly there are just WAY to many cases like this.

 

[totus44]

Wait....you want people to be held accountable for actions, decisions and behavior?

Wake up...this is the United States of not my fault.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

It's not my fault, someone held a gun at my head, and said "try this"........as if this were his first time in playing with Illegal Narcotics.........

or- "who me"? The effing devil made me do it.......

Old Dylan Tune "Desolation Row" might apply here.

 

[Messiah717]

MLB and the Angels are very upset that he cannot be disciplined and that the decision by the arbitrator defies logic. I would have to agree. Granted they're the ones who signed him but what's happening is they're trying to make him a sympathetic figure. The self reporting of the drug use was a ploy to get around a suspension. If he said nothing we would've ended up failing the test he likely knew was coming. It's just a complete joke that he would be allowed to play right now if his shoulder was healthy.

And collect his $25M per. Its a joke.

Excellent choice of tune Michael....and Metaphor, Desolate Angel, in City of Angels.....

they've always said in Native Indian Folklore of Los Angelinos, those Angels looked down on the Inland Basin, its residents of the land; from atop the Mountains of San Gabriel. Yet, I think Interpretation got Lost in Translation, meaning more: City of Fallen Angels..........!!!



"The circus is in town
Here comes the blind commissioner
They've got him in a trance
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
The other is in his pants
And the riot squad they're restless
They need somewhere to go"

Always like the line about reciting the alphabet and sniffing drainpipes on desolation row. The thing that really pisses me off about Hamilton is how his team mates supported him during Rangers Championship Celebrations by drinking gingers cause poor ole Josh had a problem with alcohol. Then the man shows his appreciation by making an exit.

I thought about that also Michael, I mean holy crap talk about a major slap in the face.

Yes, Dylan was in a groove in that era, his lyrics like poetry.

and ol' Josh has become a turd in a punch bowl.....

great point on Cinderella Hamilton, and the Rangers. Hamilton is right alongside Steve Howe and Strawberry on the walls of Shame. Instead of Fatheads, someone needs to make Dart Heads....

"And the only sound that's left
After the ambulances go
Is Cinderella sweeping up
On Desolation Row."


"Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
With his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
With his friend, a jealous monk
He looked so immaculately frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
And reciting the alphabet
You would not think to look at him
But he was famous long ago
For playing the electric violin
On Desolation Row."
