The Rangers have shut down Josh Hamilton for the rest of the season.

Not a big shock, in what has been a colossally disappointing year for Hamilton.

So...

Whatever happened to Byrd after he pulled up lame at first base last night?

Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. - Ben quantifies Hank Blalock

Wash is walking him on a kind of leash thing

I don't.

He has been nothing but a bust this year. Injury after injury.

a colossally disappointing year for Hamilton

has there been a bigger disappointment in all of baseball this year?

Wait, check that.

BJ Upton and Grady Sizemore. Two other supposed CF superstars who sucked balls this year.

Sizemore has a lot more skins on the wall

than either Hamilton of Upton. Probably not fair to lump him in there

This.

I thought the kid was going to hit 35-40 HR before the season.

Hopefully he will stop taking belly shots off women this offseason in arizona

and focus on getting back to par condition. I am just enthralled in what lack of presence and contribution he has brought to this team this year. With him healthy and playing at least HALFWAY like he did in 2008, we might not be talking about sitting out yet another October. I’m just very frustrated and disappointed in him this season.
