Smh he stays in some b.s.

As a texas rangers fan, I'm glad to see another huge Angels investment not paying off.

@BleacherReport: Report: Josh Hamilton had a relapse that involved “at least cocaine” http://ble.ac/1EtgntT http://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/570764627866484737/photo/1

 

 

Cocaine?  Again?  Forget baseball the guy needs help. He's the Josh Gordon of MLB. 

[Peppermint Patty]

The best part is that he self reported the lapse.

He seems like a good man battling a huge demon. I pray he gets back on track personally and professionaly.

[KABrother]

If I remember correctly he self-reported his alcohol relapses in 09 and 12 as well. Its gotta take a lot for him to admit his wrong doing and I would expect some leniency from MLB but he obviously has more to worry about than his baseball career at this point.

I think it's clear by the declining connection of bat on ball and the ever expanding strike out numbers the last two years that the baseball career is dwindling. What is it with pro's named Josh? Hamilton, Gordon, Brent. A lot of lapse in judgment. And relapse to.
Well just like Gordon, hope he gets life straight first and foremost cause theres a lot of it left if he does.

So do I...after reading his book, I thought it was a miracle that he even made it to the MLB.

My prayers are with him. Good guy who has been battling his demons for a long time.

It's his wife's fault!

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@Ken_Rosenthal: MLB just issued statement saying that Josh Hamilton will not be suspended. The arbitrator decided he did not violate his treatment program.

[htownfan]

I hope he keeps it together. After reading his book, it gave me some insight into his particular situation and I hope he stays the course and doesn't fall back into what he has worked hard to overcome. He has been fun to watch on the baseball field but I could care less about him as a baseball player at this point, what I care about is seeing him do the right thing and take care of himself and his family while inspiring and helping others.

It's always the significant other's fault!

[bullets13]

I saw where he's filed for divorce.

[jv_coach]

just go ahead and ban him for life.

[TxHoops]

just go ahead and ban him for life.

It never ceases to amaze me how often those who preach the loudest are the least forgiving...

@SInow: Josh Hamilton's days with the Angels are close to an end http://on.si.com/1I4FPaJ (by @McCannSportsLaw) http://twitter.com/si_mlb/status/591718454559903744/photo/1

 

 

 

@Sullivan_Ranger: Rangers are close to trading for Josh Hamilton.... still a lot of legal work to be done... likely announced on Monday sources say

 

 

@JeffPassan: Sources: Josh Hamilton could be gone from Angels as soon as tonight. Resolution in place. Barring last-minute changes, he's gone.

[baddog]

I have nothing against Hamilton. Just curious why he is forgiven but everyone hated Michael Irvin. He had a little coke problem. Heck, Elvis Pressley died on a toilet with a needle in his arm. We put him on a stamp. Funny how our compassion is directed.

I just hope for his sake he gets his life back in order first and foremost. 

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@JeffPassan: Sources: Rangers are expected to pay around $15M of Josh Hamilton's salary. He's due more than $80M through 2017. Angels pay the difference.

 

 

 

 

Trade is done.

Trade is done.

Probably where he needs to be

You right, the only organization that is going to actually care about his welfare IMO.

Yep

You both are 100 percent spot on here.
