The Devil is still in Josh Hamilton

I agree. No way do I hit on girls with blocks on there eyes.

They don't really have blocks on there eyes. I know you might think that being a Dodgers fan, but it is actually added into the picture to cover up their whole face. It is used to somewhat hide their identity.

Well, if I was the wife I'd be just a wee bit upset with him with some chicks especially the one with her hand on his crotch. Don't know what his wife went through with him, but I'd expect a little bit more discretion and respect out of him than that.

Hmmm I don't think anyone can say he relapsed from this pic. Having a drink is a far cry from doing blow and heroin.

I agree with you that this is not even close to being a "relapse", but you know all these holier than thou types in the sports media are going to consider it as such. Just look at Passan's column on Yahoo! Sports, perfect example.

Re: The Devil is still in Josh Hamilton

I, for one, feel terrible. I grew up a Christian, so I'm overly sensitive to guys that profess their faith like Josh has and fall in the public eye. Can't be easy being a pro athlete with demons that big, but that's a major lapse with images to make it even more damaging.

This ain't that big of a deal, but I was hoping they'd trade him before the deadline. I think his star is about out. The league has figured out that he's the easiest out in baseball. He swings at everything.

I give you Jeff Francoeur.

Meh.. He did drugs and that makes me think what else he put into his body.

Josh has lost a lot of weight this season, which had some speculating. He said it was because he got off an A.D.D. medication. He hasn't hit for power at all, so it's curious.

Yea...it's real disrespectful to his wife. What's even more disconcerning is that it likely comes at a time where she's begun to feel very comfortable w/ him again. Forgiven him for the past transgressions, and made amends, only to see him galavanting around w/ these women in some otherwise raunchy photos for a wife to see her husband in.

I can understand where you're coming from. For him to proclaim his faith and being re-born he surely didn't waste much time falling back into temptation.

It makes everything he said previously almost a sham, and questions his integrity. If you want the public's respect then don't become more than your capable of being.

It's almost like now the only way he sought to rebuild his image was to take the "born-again Christian" route to endear us w/ his struggle and story. So how much of that was fluff and how much was truth?

I believe it was heartfelt, which is why this is even more of a shame. A, because it's a major setback for his credibility and his ability to share a pretty life changing testimony. And B, there's enough stereotypes out there about religious beliefs and his faith in particular. In the unbias, non-religious sense, stereotypes don't do anyone any good. So it's damaging in that regard also.
