Josh Hamilton Has Officially Become A Real Life George Costanza

For those who aren’t up to speed: Josh Hamilton admitted to relapsing, presumably with coke and booze. Today major league baseball decided he will not be suspended or punished at all. Know who’s unhappy about that? Nope, not opposing teams (though they’d probably prefer he play because he stinks), his employers are. With that statement they’ve all but admitted they were the source leaks during MLB’s investigation and have outright said they would’ve loved for an addict’s relapse to lift them from under the gigantic contractual boulder they nestled under (Angels owe Hamilton 83 million dollars over the next three years. And, as I mentioned, he stinks. Apparently giving gigantic contracts to addict sluggers on the tail end of your career is a bad business decision. Who knew?) So now Josh Hamilton is George Costanza. He knows his employers hate him, knows his employers want him fired, and knows his employers can’t do shit. What a feeling that must be.  Josh Hamilton here. If Mr. Moreno is looking for me tell him I’m IN MY OFFICE!!!
