Sayonara Hamilton

wow. sad to see the angels clubhouse turn into such a nightmare.

 

So C.J. Wilson is accusing the Angels of having a private detective follow players around? Lol

Has to be...It seems to be written through Google translator...

 

Whenever I read his stuff, I'm always reminded of the "Mr, Sparkle" commercial from The Simpsons.

I know it's early ... the team doesn't look good offensively. I know Arte doesn't want him back .,, but I can see the players rally around Hamilton. Hamilton wants to play and earn his keep. The players know they need a power presence in the line up to win.

This could be a true Hollywood ending.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Josh's Hollywood ending was his big night at the HR derby.  We're watching the credits now.

Nobody actually still thinks this human trainwreck is going to play for the Angels, do they?

Yep, a true Hollywood ending:

I'm on the Hambone express I hope he returns with the angels.

Same.

Thanks to Matt Joyce...

[Ohtaniland]

Same.

Thanks to Matt Joyce...

Joyce = Ibanez

[CanadianHalo]

Joyce = Ibanez

Joyce = Ibanez

Yep!

Exactly why CH. Joyce is awful

It's kinda frustrating that the Angels can't get someone that has a track record of hitting and then actually hits when in an Angels uniform. How many home runs does Nelson Cruz have? More than some teams combined.

[Stradling]

I still don't have a problem with the Angels not going after Cruz, not because of his playing ability but because he tested positive for PEDs.

Potenial settlement talks..interesting.  Still in the early tages but intereting that they are starting this process.

do you speak English?

 

I think Zen Master might be Stoney from Encino Man.

Not saying the Angels should have gone after Cruz, cause I too have a problem with the PEDs, but just frustrating how he the M's get him and he's hitting like Babe Ruth.

I'm not going to lie.  I'd love to see Hamilton come back and do well for the Angels.  It would be a great story.  

 

I just don't think it will happen because Arte seems to be over Hamilton and Arte is the type of guy that when he is done with something, it is over.

 

Whatever is going to happen, I hope it happens quickly because this situation is not helping the Angels.  It is like a cloud over the clubhouse and this team needs to focus on just one thing, baseball.

I would prefer to see Hamilton gone. He's already been here for 2 seasons and he's been a drama queen. Season 1 he pretty much sucked and never performed to the level of his MVP season. I remember the sinus infections and the Josh needs a day off to clear his head.

In year 2 he hurt his thumb and had to spend time on the DL. He them somehow shows up with an AC joint issue later and complains about the so called poison he had to put into his body to treat it. But he has no problem using cocaine. He also waited forever to get surgery on his AC so spring training was never going to happen for him regardless of the drug issue.

Lets not forget the sitting on the bench all by himself while his teammates actually took interest in the game. This guy is a tool and trouble follows him. He needs to go.

[Amazing Larry]

Exactly. It's more than just the drug stuff. He's portrayed himself as a little bitch ever since he joined this team.

No it isn't.

I would prefer to see Hamilton healthy and producing for the Angels. Everything else, however likely, is a step down for the team.

All good points.  I can't deny that.

No it isn't.
