latest offseason news

[Xx srs bsns xX]

And you do from a Larry the legend blog?

you were saying?

well that was an uncomfortable news conference...I feel badly for Josh, but there is alot more to that story that happened that night that was not discussed and I am afraid that this guy is on the verge of blowing up. I wish I could share what I have heard from a reliable source of what happened that night, but lets just say there is alot more to the story and this could get worse.

So according to Josh's press conference that guy's account was total bs. There won't be a contract extension before the season is over. Guy really needs to come down off his high horse with his contract demands as well.

I would be very careful what you consider a "reliable source". I think there's a little more to the story too, but I don't think we're looking at a Ben Rothelisberger type situation.

Trust me...what I heard I really hope isnt accurate but he seldom seems to be wrong

The one that talked about him shacking up in the bathroom with some chick, and Ian trying to get Josh's drunk ass out of there.

Sorry but that's not enough to get me to believe anything.

Also, Hamilton sounded like contract talks were put on hold...


Oh, and the Rangers hired a new accountability partner for him....

 

[gregrey972]

That's fine I am not trying to make a believer out of anyone just throwing out there that there is much more to this story than presented and will get worse before it gets better...IMHO

They haven't stated who exactly have they?

I think they are going to have to hire some ex-Secret Service agents to guard this cat 24-7.

And what other team is going to put up with this? Josh needs to be happy with whatever Texas offers him.

I'm still not really worried about Josh having four beers. From his version of the story it sounds pretty harmless and boring to be honest. I drink a ton of alcohol and I'm in better shape than most baseball players. I'll say it again, as long as this doesn't lead him back to drugs or lead him to getting suspended for any kind of off the field behavior, I don't care what he does in his free time. I expect some "but his past...one drop...blah blah" type responses, and if it ever gets to that point y'all can say I told you so, but until then I think this is being overblown.

you were saying?

What are you thinking that guys blog story was so way off???

That may be like asking the wolf to watch the sheep?

Overblown? yes more than likely

Bears watching? most certainly

People like Hamilton don't have the option of having just a few beers, but he is so closely monitored its going to be hard for him to do anything extreme

I would think the goal should now be doing things in moderation instead of cutting it completely out of his life, the temptation becomes that much greater if you "can't" do it

It's probably the embarrasement of ordering a Shirley Temple or a Roy Rogers when he's out with the guys.
