As Hamilton goes, so does the team

[Torridd]

We're not scoring any runs, 4 is the most in any game since the ASB. I honestly think if Hamilton were healthy, we'd have two more wins - Monday's and Tuesday's.

 

He is so important to our offense and his year epitomizes the Angels' plights. I know there are other problems, but they are enlarged when he's not producing.

 

With at least two more games out of the lineup, things may be bleaker for the Angels.

He hasn't produced all year

When he was hot, we were winning.

The team really misses his .223 batting average.

that was a fun three days.

[Mudville]

The last 6 games he played he was hitting .130/.125/.217/.342.

 

I get the feeling the Mosquito that bit him died of blood poisoning.

Again, this is a guy whose past drug use (even though some 8-9 years in the past) may be catching up to his body.   Look at all of the simple things affecting him + all of the games missed since 2008.

 

Did not Arte/JeDi understand that this can happen with past drug users, when they offered him 5 years?

Hamilton told the L.A. Times he's "getting older". What is he, 32??

This is one of the most head-scratching threads I've seen in a while.

[Angel Oracle]

With the past drug use, his body may be closer to 37.

Hamilton and Pujols are like two old horses
