    Rangers Josh Hamilton

    Add another homerun for Hamilton after a three run blast tonight. He has 14 long trippers and 61 RBI. I am going to repeat that, 61 RBI!!!!! Meanwhile, Edison Volquez is leading the majors in ERA. Great ****ing trade

    Hamilton did it again giving him the AL lead with 15 HRs and 63 RBI. This reminds me of when Rolen had 80 RBI in the first half of '04. Hopefully Hamilton doesn't fall apart in the second half like Rolen did.

    He's on pace for 50+ homers and 180+ RBI. If he does keep this up, then this will be a season to remember.

    Especially for Reds fans. Did you know the Cubs actually picked him up in the Rule 5 draft and sold him to the Reds? Cubs could sure use him in CF this year. Imagine him in that lineup in the ballpark!

    ^^As if Cubbies fans didn't already have enough to be bitter about. But his whole story is absolutely amazing. It's great to see how well he's progressed not only as a player but as a person since he was first drafted.

    What's wrong with Jim Edmonds?
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    I remember reading about Hamilton in SI a few years back. The guy is a great story. From #1 pick in the draft to out of baseball and a crack addict, to being one of the most important players on the Rangers. WOW.

    Re: Josh Hamilton

    As of last night's game Hamilton is leading the AL in homers with 17 (5th in the majors), he is leading the majors in RBI by 12 (17 better than the 2nd ranked AL player), and 2nd in the AL in batting (6th in the majors).

    He obviously has little chance at the MLB triple crown (with Chipper, Berkman, and Pujols batting .362-.409), but considering he has stayed incredibly consistant the first two months of the season, has a great shot at the AL triple crown. He is only 3 points behing Hideki Matsui in the batting race currently.

    Obviously it's a little premature to be talking triple crown, but just the fact that the Rangers have somebody with a legit chance is pretty amazing.
    Integrity can accommodate the inadvertent error and the honest difference of opinion; it cannot accommodate deceit or subordination of principle.
