    Great point but for the sake of accuracy it wasn't his homerun, he was the one who tossed the ball to the father.

    Same here.

    In the long-standing match of man v. alcohol, alcohol is undefeated.

    I'm not judging why. I'm just saying I hope it's not true because it's an obvious addiction and there are demons there and if he went back there, it's not a good place.

    Given his history, it damn sure is a story. I feel for the guy, but you have to report this.

    I wonder how Kinsler found out. Did Hamilton tell him he was drinking or did somebody at the bar know him?

    If he had done something while drunk and a police report was filed...then I believe it would be newsworthy. Right now, all I am getting out of this "story" is that a guy with a drinking problem named Josh was in a bar and had a beer and got caught by a co-worker.

    Are you serious?

    Josh Hamilton was suspended for three entire seasons because of alcohol and drug abuse. He has admitted to being an addict and said himself that he knows he can't have just one drink because of what it could lead to.

    He's also currently in contract negotiations with the Rangers (he'll be a free agent after the season). Think this might affect that? Not to mention how outspoken he's been about being clean and sober since 2005 -- he does tons of speaking engagements and wrote a book about it.

    Hell, yes, it's a story.

    Is an accountability partner part of a 12-step program?
