Here’s an MLB Blind Item That Doesn’t Leave Much to the Imagination. Should the Owners of an AL West Team Be Very Afraid?

All, Baseball Jason McIntyre March 19th. 2013, 1:14pm

A year ago this week, the rumor-mongering website Crazy Days and Nights dropped a blind item about an NFL QB that stirred up some chatter on the web for a few hours.

Today, Crazy Days and Nights dropped another sports-related blind item that’s much easier to figure out:

This American League West player is on a new team this season. All-Star caliber for sure but he is going to need to reduce his partying. The first night in town he found a strip club and has been juggling two dancers who don’t know about each other. Every night he goes out with one of them and brings them back to his hotel. Not sure what he will do if his wife decides to visit.

The gang on Scooby-Doo could figure this one out. [H/T: CG]

CDAN also broke the Chris Bosh cross-dressing story, making when Shaq called Bosh “Rupaul” more sensical.

Is Josh Hamilton in the AL West still? Didn’t he sign with the Angels? Guess he’s off the wagon, right? Surely he’s not going to a strip club on the reg without booze, right?

…if it’s not just completely fabricated for page views. I’d question the journalistic integrity of people who post/dicuss blind items, so I’m not exactly going to trust their ‘sources’ they claim to have.

If true, that would be recent data. I’m pretty sure Mrs. Hamilton was at the presser when Josh was introduced as a member of the Angels.

As in Village People and YMCA. He’s a big fan of show tunes and musicals.
Not a big deal – except he wanted to come out and take a stand. Then his owners, sponsors, and endorsers (and the NFL itself) went batshit at the thought. So to keep him happy they promised to team him up with his lifelong…ahem…”buddy”.
Like this from last year… you really think owners/sponsors/endorsers all knew but it never leaked about the player. Bull. shit. Easy to make shit up from your proverbial mother’s basement.

Can you see when people sign in, JMac? Just signed in for the first time in months and you mentioned me in the first post I read, creepy. And cleet, I had a girl, but if all goes well she will love sports just like a little boy would, lol.

I can’t believe he’s behaving this way and married. Most professional athletes play the flute in their spare time.

Word is Hamilton took his wife to the Grand Canyon over the winter holidays and tossed her a piece of jewelry, just beyond her reach and it fell into the canyon. Frustrated at her non-death, he has decided to move forward with a trial separation.

Nah, Kinsler stayed with the Rangers and is too busy to travel to the Sunset Strip to pull Hamilton out of late-night bars.

It’s slotted to run right after JMac’s annual “Contract the Pirates” post.
