Seems as though Bags went to re-hab but then said no, no, no.

The very last sentence:
She (Rachael Brown) confirmed that she accompanied Bagwell when he recently left a rehabilitation facility where he was being treated for alcohol abuse before he completed the program.
I hope he gets help if he needs it.

It sounds like he at least reached out and went to rehab. That's a good start.

Sorry folks, but our beloved Baggy is an idiot.

I think it is less about being an idiot than it is an addiction to alcohol/drugs and whores.

Of course he is. Notice how you've never heard him deny it.

It the whore addiction that makes him an idiot.

It's certainly cost him a lot of money in his divorce, so he is an idiot. I wonder out loud if the alcoholism was the reason why Bagwell didn't return to the batting coach position. I also note that he hasn't been in the booth like he was last season on saturdays.

That's true. It is quite a treat when he is in the booth.

I agree. He brings a hitter's perspective into the booth that meshes nicely with JD's pitcher's perspective. Many people don't realize that hitters and pitchers see the game (and often life) quite differently. It's actually pretty funny. For the most part, hitters look down on pitchers for their general inability to be able to hit.

wonder what biggio thinks

Biggio probably isn't thinking anything he hasn't known for the last 25 years.

It never hurt Wade Boggs.

How will it hurt? I see the alcohol part as a non-issue for purposes of the HOF. However, the spectre of steroids or other enhancements, despite the absolute lack of any evidence on that score, probably has hurt him. We know of at least one asshole voter who didn't include him on his ballot for that very reason. We discussed it here, but I'm too lazy to find the thread.

I don't believe in coincidences.

my scout friend who is very, very close to the Astros and who worked in that org for many years believes that there is no doubt whatsoever.

More Sheen/Downey Jr-ish than Jose. He needs to get serious professional help, ASAP or he might not be around long.

If voters are looking for a reason to not vote for Bagwell, they will find one. The whole "since he is unethical in this area of his life, he might have been unethical in another area of his life" angle fits the bill nicely for those morons.

Right. Because alcoholism is a purely ethical issue.

You don't understand. It's important that we internet yahoos make medical and character evaluations about people we don't know. Otherwise can't make uninformed snap judgements.

Oh HH, you simple and misinformed man... You should do as I do and allow the 'press' to make the snap judgments for you and simply rely on their explanation of the facts. After all, they are tasked with the responsibility of journalistic integrity, and ethics, and the like, and if they've dared to print it, it must be true...

Thank you, OSF! I needed that headsup!

This has me worried about Caminiti, etc., and the relationship between steroids and alcohol abuse. Didn't know about Bags.
