Hamilton doesn't travel to Baltimore
BALTIMORE -- Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton missed Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles, staying behind in Texas after having a bad reaction to a shot he took to ease the pain from a pinched nerve in his back.
Hamilton did not fly with the team to Baltimore, and it was uncertain if he would join the team over the weekend.
"Hopefully, [Saturday] he'll feel comfortable enough to get back on the plane and we'll be able to get him back in there," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "If there is any way Josh can play when he gets here, he'll play."
Hamilton left Wednesday's game against Toronto in the fourth inning, complaining of lower back pain. He was given a shot Thursday to reduce inflammation.
Texas, still in the hunt for a wild-card berth, used an outfield of David Murphy, Marlon Byrd and Nelson Cruz against the Orioles.

i dont know who is on the training staff for texas, but i can surmise a bit of information about them.
1) they didnt watch the home run derby last year.
2) they dont watch the sapranos.
seriously. you give a heroin addict pain killers? this really isnt a funny story at all. and if im reading into it correctly, its extremely tragic. people giving rich rodriguez grief for pushing his student athletes too hard, texas is pushing drugs on a heroin addict just to keep them in the wild card race. horrifying.
