Milton Bradley on Josh Hamilton
Milton Bradley on Josh Hamilton: "In the beginning, a lot of people put us together in the same group and I kind of felt like this guy had a drug problem and I don’t see any similarities. But once I got to talking to him, and found out about his life and things he has to deal with every day, I kind of understand where he’s coming from. I find myself drawn to him a little bit.
"If you continue to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results, I think they say you’re an idiot. I know he’s also had problems with the attention that he gets and I’ve experienced that over my career as well. You’ll probably see me with him all the time because I’m drawn to him. He’s a fascinating individual."
Hmn...
So does this mean that maybe some of Josh is rubbing off on Milton?
Or does this just mean that Milton will now take it upon himself to jump into the stands and personally beat up any of Josh's hecklers?
Just kidding. If Hammy's personality is rubbing off on Milton, that's nothing but great news. If Ron Washington had any sense at all, he would make those two the 3-4 or 4-5 tag team in the heart of the order - now that would be a pretty good combo.

This sounds like there is some "team chemistry" building here. Man, that has been so missing on the Rangers teams of late. This is good thing, it may not mean 10 wins but when guys start to want to pick each other up you never know what can happen. Great little tidbit TR...
Hey Jon, I don't know if MB jumping in the stands to trash a Josh heckler is necessarily bad, well maybe bad for PR, but the teammates would love it. Hopefully you are in SOCAL, the bay area is just so...well, bay area.

Bradley is a "nut", he has problems enough handling the things on his own plate. A funny tidbit, don't get mad, but we in law enforcement, see this all the time, you get some drug addict who has all these people around him, who are also drug addicts and the first addict is trying to help the other addicts get clean and with their problems. It is a very common thing. As the Bible says since they brought it up, first remove the thorn from your own eye, then you will be able to see clearly to help your brother. Birds of a feather flock together. Hamilton has so many people looking out for him, he may just slip off and get high, just to get rid of all these people that are on his payroll and/or babysitting him. The saddest thing is that someone with that type of ability doesn't fulfill his potential. I really hope that he fulfills that potential, and courtney knows this, you just can't trust and addict. Eventhough the Rangers have added a few to this team. As Charles Barkley said, Athletes are not role models, besides what do they know about the real world. They exited that place with the big money they received. Hey, hey i wanna be a rockstar!!!

Love the Rangers, and am hoping for the best, but they may need to hire Dr. Phil as the Bench Coach!

TR,
While we're on the outfield, what is the story with Jason Ellison?
He has hit well and is getting on base more than half the time. Any chance he makes the team?
