Josh Hamilton has filed for divorce

[shellback]

angels better drop this guy like a hot rock.

I wasn't asking about news articles.

 

But never mind.

 

They all tweet links to the news articles...it is what it is.  

[FabulousFabregas]

I just hope the headlines don't get any worse than this.  Addiction leads to a path of destruction, I've seen it myself.  All the best to Josh's kids.

[John Taylor]

I honestly hoped that Josh was able to step away from baseball, get better, and have his family as a support and vise versa. I am quite sad to hear this, and I am still rooting for Josh's recovery and success.

If you're going to plaster a bible verse on everything you sign you better back it up or people will know that you're disingenuous.

Considering everything that has happened to Hamilton you would think he and his wife would avoid social media but I guess not. I feel bad for their kids divorces are never easy on children.

People with small egos and those who want to shun the limelight don't sign up to be on reality shows.

I don't know much, but the little I've heard paints her out as somewhat of a bitch.

eh, they're all bitches

<ducks>

This is what I believe.  You can't rely on your religious beliefs to save you from your demons.  You have to rely on yourself, perhaps with help from your religious beliefs, but ultimately it is your battle to fight.  Sometimes I think people assume that if they voice their beliefs enough, that everything will work out.

 

I hope that Josh and his wife can have a civil relationship for the sake of their children.

Agreed.  In fact, if anything, I'd argue that in a lot of cases, people who "lean on religion" in cases like this are the ones most likely to have relapses, since "leaving it to God," etc. basically removes any personal responsibility and growth from the equation.

@ Scotty, Though I wish I could agree and believe that Josh is this fantastic religious person.....Somehow, I don't believe JH was thinking about his savior Jesus Christ when he was railing them up. Matter of fact. He had to locate drugs either drive somewhere and or have them delivered, pay for said drugs and take the time to figure out how he was going to use said drugs..... And I'm sure he never thought in anyone of those moments Jesus Christ help me what am I doing..........

 

He could have read the bible, wrote in his journal, Called his Life Coach, Gone to Church, Called his Pastor, Called a friend who was there before, a Teammate, a million choices. He did nothing but make nnother bad choice and put himself, his family, his career in jeopardy.

 

Turn the page~

 

I'm not religious and any religion seems silly to me but being religious doesn't mean that you'll do everything flawlessly according to the book you follow. I'm no expert but the goal of Christians are to strive to be as "good" as Jesus with the understanding that it is unlikely that you'll reach that goal. Maybe his religious belief kept him doing this well. IMO, he and his wife have always laid on the Jesus stuff on thicker than they really believe. Who am I to judge though.

Everyone seems to be wishing Josh the best in here and Brandon comes in here and gets pissy that we are talking about it lol

People get divorced all the time. It's a bummer, certainly in light of his other issues, but it's hardly the end of the world.

 

what a piece of crap thing to say. i went through it, with a kid, trust me it definitely is the end of the world. the difference is eventually you realize there is a new world for you and them.

Not really dude, but you seem to like to follow me around recently.

Certain people have no boundaries with their fandom.

Following you around with my 2 posts responding to you in the last week? I must be married to some of these other posters then

I am glad that CJ is supporting Hamilton in this poop storm that is going on but I think Sosh's quote is a polite and more accurate assessment of Hamilton's state than CJ's.

[Angelsjunky]

But what about Jesus?

[Troll Daddy]

Best thing for Hamilton is to concentrate on his true love ... baseball.

As it turns out, Jesus ended up being just a ruse in the Hamilton household.

It's hard to feel bad for a millionaire

[LAAMike]

Well Josh and his wife have at least three houses and he paid 12 million for the one in OC. With half of his income going to taxes and his agent he is not really that wealthy. Nine million is not that much of a net income with his expenses and it is going to get worse with his divorce.

I can't wait for the responses on this one.
