February 3, 201214 yr I guess my thing is, why aren't we saddened when we're proven right, instead of outright gleefully rubbing our hands together and basically shouting that we were right? I have often predicted bad things for people (in my family, most often). But in my heart, I WANT them to prove me wrong. Nothing makes me happy about being proven right when you see someone destroying their life. :thumb:
February 3, 201214 yr So this has been going on for a while it seems... 2. He called teammate Ian Kinsler to come hang out with him. Hamilton noted he didn't tell Kinsler he was drinking nor did he drink when Kinsler was with him. Hamilton said that he can be "deceptive" when he drinks. 3. Hamilton and Kinsler left the restaurant and went to an "other place" for about "25, 30 minutes" and then Kinsler went to drive Hamilton to where he was staying. 4. Hamilton said Kinsler asked him if he was going to stay in the rest of the night. Hamilton assured Kinsler he would stay in, but he lied. He went back out. By Hamilton's account, he "had some more drinks." He noted that no one around him really saw him with drinks in his hand, and again reiterated that he can be deceptive and find ways to drink without others realizing it. He also talked about how when he drinks there's a point where a "switch flips, and you never know when that point is gonna be reached -- whether it's the first three or four, or, you know, the 15th. And that's what is so dangerous about it." http://eye-on-baseball.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22297882/34681590
February 3, 201214 yr Kinsler? Correct. I often fat-finger it on my IPhone and Ipad. I need an editor.

Far too often alcoholics disappear to drink & return with slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and other symptoms. When you're not at a bar, it is very obvious. Yet the alcoholic thinks he (or she) is "getting away" with it.
February 4, 201214 yr Why do we feel so happy about another person's downfall? Exactlhy what I was thining. I haven't walked in his shoes his whole life. Sad to see a guy that has it all not be able to defend himself from himself.
February 5, 201214 yr He was currently without one, right? I think the guy he had with the Reds went with him to Texas but has now taken another job with a different club.
February 5, 201214 yr I kinda thought he may turn to the bottle again after he threw the ball to the fan that fell out of the stands.
