August 11, 200719 yr Nah but I'd prefer Juan Encarnacion to actually play.. ugh.. this kinda ticks me off now!
August 11, 200719 yr Who knows how long this will last but this is one of those stories that make baseball such a great game.
August 11, 200719 yr BYE BYE.. Ankiel jacks his 2nd homer of the game.. 3rd of the season.. OMG! Rick Ankiel robs Russell Martin of a double.. over the shoulder catch fighting the sun.. dives .. slides into the wall but nice catch.. Edmonds like lol
August 11, 200719 yr Ankiel is the man. I loathe the Cardinals (no offense, you're a good dude), but even I root for him.
August 11, 200719 yr BYE BYE.. Ankiel jacks his 2nd homer of the game.. 3rd of the season.. OMG! totally ridiculous
August 11, 200719 yr Nah but I'd prefer Juan Encarnacion to actually play.. ugh.. this kinda ticks me off now! Thats in your face
August 12, 200719 yr Wow. Feel good story of the year. not quite. Josh Hamilton's story has that honor.
August 12, 200719 yr Author Wow. Feel good story of the year. not quite. Josh Hamilton's story has that honor. As of this moment they are neck and neck
August 12, 200719 yr Wow. Feel good story of the year. not quite. Josh Hamilton's story has that honor. As of this moment they are neck and neck They are both pretty awesome stories. This is why baseball is so wonderful
August 13, 200719 yr Wow. Feel good story of the year. not quite. Josh Hamilton's story has that honor. As of this moment they are neck and neck No, no they aren't.
August 13, 200719 yr Author Wow. Feel good story of the year. not quite. Josh Hamilton's story has that honor. As of this moment they are neck and neck No, no they aren't. I don't see why his story isn't any better or worse than Hamilton's is
August 13, 200719 yr Wow. Feel good story of the year. not quite. Josh Hamilton's story has that honor. As of this moment they are neck and neck No, no they aren't. I don't see why his story isn't any better or worse than Hamilton's is Because Josh Hamilton came back from drug addicition and near death. Ankiel wasn't going through anything near that bad.

Depends how you look at it I guess Hamilton brought this all on himself Ankiel lost everything he had on the biggest stage in baseball, then had to re-invent himself, and in 2 years make it all the way back
August 13, 200719 yr Ankiel came back from HITTING THE BACKSTOP WITH ALL HIS PITCHES Hamilton had non-baseball problems. Ankiel forgot how to throw a baseball. Ankiel = bigger story than Hamilton
August 13, 200719 yr It's hard to say Hamilton "brought it all onto himself." Yeah, he's the one that pushed down on the shots, and he was real f***ing stupid doing it the first time, but it's not like it's something he could stop doing out of the blue. Heroin is one of the drugs that's just...you feel your body needs it to survive. But it's not like Ankiel didn't bring it upon himself. If he wasn't so weak mentally, he wouldn't have one compeltely FUBAR. Not argueing that Hamilton is 'bigger' but I think you're understating his 'story' and overstating Ankiel's. Ankiel's is a feel good story, but that's only because how he's performing on the field. Hamilton's isn't really a feel good story, and it'sone where you can gain respect for him as a human being, regardless of what he does on the field. Apples to oranges to me, really.
