It was an eventful few days for Josh Hamilton in Texas. He’s been booed, jeered, his family felt it needed personal security and, above all else, he played exceedingly poorly. He redeemed himself a bit yesterday, but it was basically a train wreck for him. So Bob Nightengale of USA Today asked him if Texas got to him. Hamilton says nope:
It’s not just being here in Texas. I’d suck anywhere right now.”
He’s off today, but then he and the Angels get six home games, including three against the lowly Astros. If he’s not on track by then, the boos may expand farther west.
