You want to get nuts?  Lets get nuts!

Ten Ocho Scout called it bad news from the beginning.  Several posters got goosebumps.  One thanked Artie Claus.

I thought this was funny:

I don't buy it. The Angels have been about "character" guys in the Arte Moreno era. This move would be inconsistent with that philosophy. More likely they're just trying to jack up the signing price for Texas...

Hamilton doesn't have character?

We should be able to cover a bunch of new ground in this thread.

I'd like to know how much fooling was going on with the Josh Hamilton foundation.  IIRC, Arte had to donate a cool $2 mil to that foundation.

At one point in this country, boxing and horse racing were the number 2 and 3 most popular sports in this country.  Things can change.
 
There will always be a very large place for baseball in this country, though, in my opinion.
 
 
 
So many kids start out playing T-ball and LL still.  Once kids get "weeded out" by 12 or 13 there are a small group of hardcore/year round travel ball kids.
 
The 'weeded out' kids go on to other sports or interests.  My unqualified view is that those kids are kinda lost for good.

What's the big deal here?

Save it, bronze it.
 
And really, would you give a $125,000,000 contract to a man child who can't be trusted with an ATM card?  You call it "high horse".  I call it Risk Management 101.

Complete idiocy.  Finally some saner heads are making decisions.

maybe they like seeing you in bad health

you're welcome

You answered your own question.

Dude won a pulitzer for this story.  God bless him.

A clause allowing him to be reimbursed by the district for purchasing “air time,” or up to five years of service to add to the number of years he actually worked, so as to boost his lifetime pension.
 
Always... always w the f*cking pensions.

Did you ever see him agree to anything?

I don't know.

Serious.
 
Hamilton can't handle the same responsibilities of a 16 year old boy, but its a good idea to sign him to a guaranteed $125 million.

I mean what could go wrong?  Let's bring this guy in and pay him 125mil.  

The only thing I can think of to get that jingle out of my head is
 
YOU'RE KILLING ME LARRY!!

"What were Josh Hamilton's BAC each day the week of the Super Bowl, Alex?"

Peyts' older brother spent the week at middle school camp.
 
OF COURSE Peyts' mom snuck in Nyquill for him.
 
And other mom chimed in about how she snuck a cell phone in when her daughter went.
 
Rules are for suckers.  For chumps.
 
THESE SCHOOLS JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND MY ANGEL'S NEEDS!1!!!

"What were Josh Hamilton's BAC each day the week of the Super Bowl, Alex?"

Wait a minute.
You have a line from an unattributed report from Black Sports Online, and that's it? That's proof she is cheating?
That's flimsy, even for this board.

Not for long!
