I had no idea Tim had gone through that. How awful! I knew Tim in college at Texas and I pray that he will slay his dragons and keep moving forward. Josh, too.

I found it interesting that the girls in the photo had their faces blacked out. I guess they are afforded some privacy for their indiscretions.

I have more respect for Hamilton going through this and telling EVERYONE the day after instead of waiting to see if he got outed by the media. It shows true remorse in my opinion.

We all need to develop a forgiving attitude. Most people are doing the best they can. He's living day to day. God be with him.

I never saw the photos of Josh drinking in Arizona. But I think the person who posts stuff like that -- or Michael Phelps taking a bong hit at a party, or Erin Andrews naked in her hotel room -- are among the worst kind of scum. It's like they make it their mission to ruin someone else's life.

What makes some people so goddam mean??

Another thing that gets me is the people -- fans -- who say, "He's broken my trust. I can never forgive him."

Excuse me??

He hasn't harmed the fans in any way. Unless you count his slump. There's nothing for us fans to forgive, because we aren't the wronged party.

Josh and his family will remain in my prayers that he can keep moving forward. He deserves the support, not the derision, of his fan base.

Couldn't agree more. Josh told everyone he needed to the day after it happened. Jon Daniels says that mgmt. discussed whether to go public but felt it was not in Josh's best interest - that he had enough to deal with. I think that was totally the correct path.

They notified MLB so that literally everyone who needed to know, knew. His personal battles are off limits to the public if he so chooses.

Hopefully Colishaw going public will help him. We've seen him drunk in public before, but, hey, who amongst us...

Hook'em!!!

I didn't realize Tim had hit a rough patch, but it doesn't surprise me he likes the booze. I've seen him out a couple of times around town, once at the Loon and once at Corner Bar. Nice guy though.
