DETROIT -- A day after Josh Hamilton's slide into home plate caused a small fracture in his arm that will sideline him for six to eight weeks, the Texas Rangers slugger remained very frustrated."To add insult to injury, I was extremely sick last night," Hamilton said. "A sinus infection, I think."
A fitful night of sleep didn't change Hamilton's outlook on the play, which he called "dumb" on Wednesday (after calling it "stupid" on Tuesday). He has not spoken to third base coach Dave Anderson, whom Hamilton said sent him to home when the coach saw that no one was covering the plate when Adrian Beltre hit a popup in foul ground near the third-base line. Hamilton tried to score and was tagged at home by catcher Victor Martinez, who made a nice play to recover and apply the tag.
"I threw him under the bus by telling the truth about what happened," Hamilton said. "What do you want me to do, lie? People are going to blame who they want to blame."
