So... we still going to defend Josh Hamilton around here, or is it starting to become clear to everybody that this dude should not be getting max money.
Has slumped all season.
Has had off the field issues
Took off during the stretch run for "injury" related issues.
Nonchalant Outfield play
No plate discipline.
...but he hits a ton of homeruns, so I guess we gotta take the bad with the little bit of good he brings to our lineup.
It's clear right now we are not playing with any fire. They haven't been having fun since game 6 of last year's world series.. maybe after today and being pretty much pegged down a notch, and left for dead... the team will finally start playing with house money again. That's all we can really hope for honestly because it's not looking good for the team having to find a way to hold off the Baltimore Rangers, win a game in Yankees stadium, and then fend off Verlander/Cabrera... or come back to Oakland who would be on quite the roll if the two met in the ALCS.
