    Not funny: He and Cabrea should go into rehab together, the buddy system might help them both.

    Not the smart thing to do when you're trying to get an extension. Josh has done it once, he can do it again! He's got a great clubhouse that understands his problem.

    I worry that if he leaves the comfort zone he created, and was lured away by a big, big market and city team......more than just an incident like this happening each year, could occur. I hope not.

    I am seeing mixed stories on this and that the "source" is a few random tweets from a couple of girls that say they "saw him".

    If it's true, hopefully it is just a short term slip up....addicts are never truly cured they have to battle everyday not to slip back into old habits.

    Which is why he's in a great environment, with an understanding organization and a manager who's battled his own demons in the past.

    Which is also why I wonder if this "breaking news" is even really true, supposedly they watch him like a hawk and last I heard he still has testing 3 times a week.

    Just watched the press conference, one good thing about Josh is ever since he truly faced this problem he owns up to his shit.

    The Rangers are already on it full boar even hiring him a new babysitter. This team/friends/family intervention is exactly what I am astounded doesn't happen more often. In fact in many cases it is the opposite, those closest to the person seem to almost help and accelerate the addicts spiral into hell.


    Have a feeling he faced more wrath from his wife than he ever could from the team or media.The Battle Rages On for Hamilton-josh-hamilton-009-jpg
