Joshua Holt Hamilton Strikes Again Again (For The 224th Time)

Hang on a second, I need to do something (something needs doing).

Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain Joba Chamberlain.

There. Now I feel like a real journalist.

Can somebody--anybody--tell me why Josh Hamilton's nightly awesomeness isn't the lead story on Sporstcenter, or even Baseball Tonight? The dude hits three or four HRs every night (approximately), and although his story receives some airtime, it pales in comparison to the amount given to Joba Chamberlain's possible move to the Yankees starting rotation. Perhaps, for the sake of accuracy, I should have said the last sentence thusly: Although Hamilton's story receives some airtime, it pales in comparison to the amount it'd receive if he played for the goddamn New York Yankees.

The media is annoying and predictable.

Josh Hamilton is--without argument--the American League MVP to this point, though it might be easier to simply call him the best baseball player on the planet. He had three more hits Thursday, including a game-winning homer in the 10th inning. He's leading the AL in all of the Triple Crown categories, and is directly responsible for a national record I recently set: Most times an Ohioan has hit the refresh button while watching a Texas Rangers box score online (733).

Dear Lord,

Please allow Edinson Volquez to throw a no-hitter in his next start. Because anything less will lead Wayne Krivsky (and me) to suicide.

Thanks,
