July 4, 200818 yr Interesting read on Josh Hamilton from USA Today. Most interesting from the article I found the following, although not a surprise, I figured I would post. He has ventured out a few times with teammates and says he feels more accepted by his Texas teammates than in Cincinnati last year, when no one invited him out. He sensed jealousy and perhaps resentment over the attention his comeback story received "I even heard comments that I was signing too many autographs for the fans," he says. "It just got worse as the year went on." The discord played no factor in the trade, but, Krivsky said: "There were issues in the clubhouse. Maybe that stuff would have gone by the boards had he stayed." http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/al/rangers/2008-07-02-Hamilton_N.htm

I think it sucks he had to deal with that crap. I can't wait until all four of those clowns are gone. And yea, I know a little bit about it.
July 4, 200818 yr Oh poor Josh. :cry: You got to at least admire the guy for overcoming all that stuff
July 4, 200818 yr No one is gone, their all still on the Reds roster. Obviously I worded that wrong. I'm just wondering who the 4 clowns are?
July 4, 200818 yr What 4 clowns are gone? I think he's saying there are 4 clowns on the Reds roster that made him feel unwanted
July 4, 200818 yr I think he's saying there are 4 clowns on the Reds roster that made him feel unwanted Yeah I got that. I just worded my post wrong. I am curious to know who they are though.
July 4, 200818 yr Obviously I worded that wrong. I'm just wondering who the 4 clowns are? I really don't want to say names, because I wasn't there. I do know some who are/were very close to the Team though, and I believe what they tell me. Honestly though, I bet if you guessed, you wouldn't be far off.

July 4, 200818 yr I heard E-5 didn't care for him I never heard that. I don't believe anyone disliked him, just some were jealous.
July 4, 200818 yr BP was the main one he is talking about. There were many other issues than what he leads you to believe.
