He Going In

1. Best handshake ever
2. Thought I was the only person to spray cologne there
3. He was about to rape that chick. But luckily her body would shut down and she can't get pregnant.

I hate to say it...

But I told you so. This was when the STL Cardinals was bullshitting about paying the best player to ever wear a Cardinal jersey, the best offensive weapon since Barry Bonds, and arguably the best hitter of the 21st Century. What happened....well the Cardinals dont sign Albert, he goes to LA and let's look at his stats this year....
2012 Season

AVG	HR	RBI	OBP
.283	28	86	.344

2011 Season

AVG	HR	RBI	OBP
.299	37	99	.366

Problem is...Albert has 40 more games to play. I am a betting man so I would take the over for BA, HR, and RBI for a player playing in a new stadium, against new pitching, with a new team. Not to mention Pujols was hitting .248 with 1 HR and 14 RBI as of May 15th. 

And what did the Cardinals do to replace Pujols....
Well they signed Lance Berkman who is 2 yrs older and never been the model of consistency. His numbers this year...
2012 Season

AVG	HR	RBI	OBP
.267	2	7	.389

I guess I can bring up that Berkman was signed for 1 year for $12 Mill, but he has only had 75 at bats due to injury. PEDS anyone????
Cardinals are currently in a 3 way tie for the wild card. They are potentially headed into the playoffs with Allen Craig at 1B. Not to knock Mr. Craig but he doesn't exactly strike fear in your hearts now does he the way a  certain Albert Pujols does right?

Here is the dialogue.
Pay that Pujols

Derrick: he wasnt asking for too much though

10 yr 300 mill

Rodney: ten yeasr

thats a bit much

i could see 5 yeas

Derrick: he wanted to retire a cardinal

Rodney: ok 10 years with a 6th year option clause

Derrick: dont make me school you, ye who knows little about sports

Rodney: i mean my opnion always gon be on point

Derrick: i bet you any money next year he signs for 10 yrs

Rodney: looking at it from business perspective why would i sign u when u already thirty

Derrick: somewhere else

Rodney: still dont make it a good deal

Derrick: because you have seen his numbers

pujols is the model of consisty

Rodney: ok will his numbers be that 6 years from now

Derrick: yep

Rodney: you never know as a business i wouldnt commit to that

Derrick: if not, you cant just pay for the prime years

Rodney: is baseball money guranteed too like nba

Derrick: yep

Rodney: i feel him but i see why cardinals are hesitant to

he make like 16 now right

Derrick: which aint shit in baseball

not for the mvp

let me ask you this, how much did jordan make the last 5 years with bulls?

Rodney: 30 mil right

but bulls didnt commit to 10 year contract either

Derrick: no, jordan didnt commit to contract

Rodney: its like this if he flops which is possible ur still commited to him. i wouldnt do it

Derrick: jordan did 1 yr contracts

because jordan named his price every year

Rodney: ok perfect example

Derrick: pujols not even highest paid cardinal

Rodney: so the bulls are protected

Derrick: no they aint

how long did it take to replace jordan?

because jordan walked away

what protection is in losing

Rodney: well thats a irrelevant question u never will

i will give him 5 years at 30 but not 10

is that even possible. has other people signed 10 year contracts

Derrick: you dont replace jordan, sorry, but how long before the bulls were relevant

Rodney: true

Derrick: arod has 10 yr contract right now

kg had 10 yr

has kg fell off?

Rodney: oh ok so its normal in baseball

Derrick: and thats basketball

Rodney: kg didnt have 10 year contrac

Derrick: not normal, but the big contracts are usually 8-10

yes he did

you dont know what u talking bout so we need to stop talking

Rodney: ok find it then

he didnt

he signed a five year extension

Derrick: we should just stop anyway, you for the business, i'm for the player

Rodney: lol

so kg hasnt fell off but he damn sho aint no 30 million dollar player now

like he was 6 years ago

Derrick: how much he make now?

16

big contracts are back loaded, you pay the big money at the end

garnett make 18 mill

can you justify he not worth that now? i doubt it, without kg they didnt make finals, with him, 2 out of 3

kg is still one of top 10 paid players in league

Rodney: but he not 1 of top 10 players

Derrick: so your problem is if you not the top player, you shouldnt make most money?

Rodney: im not sure how long baseball players run but thats like signing kg to a lucrative deal now 7 years out

thats a no go

Derrick: so if you are top player, they should pay you extra?

cant have it both ways

Rodney: no the contract is the contract

all im saying is. can u say with certainty that pujols will be doing 30 mil dollar stats 7 years from now

Derrick: right, so you gonna pay me max money while im the man and if i fall off, you gotta pay me what you owe

Rodney: i feel that statement

Derrick: i damn near guarantee it

Rodney: ok ima shut up

not the gurantee statement b4 that

Derrick: i gotta write a blog just so you remember this convo

Don't Beat Her

Thats my president right there. And he's right. No one should ever hit a woman, within reason. Lets be real, sometimes women try to go to far. Words do hurt, but so do slaps and punches. I like to get even, i'm just saying. But I am not of the Slapahoe tribe, I like to be more creative in my attacks. If you are like me and can't bring your self to Chris Brown level, but do have the urge to get back at your woman, here are a few ways that may not land you in jail.

1. Alterations - Nothing screams revenge like making a woman feel fat. Nobody ....well some....the hell with it most guys dont care if you have a few pounds on you but that woman surely knows. Have all of her pants brought in 2 sizes. Depression workouts will ensue. Order her favorite meal and watch her skip over it like the plague.
2. Cut her hair - Women love their hair. Black women really love their hair, even if it came from a 12 yr old Indian girl. Catch her slipping on the couch or in the bed, take off a snip or two, hide the evidence and put on your riot gear. Guaranteed level 5 argument. This also works for the "natural" movement women, when she using your clippers to tighten up that lining, bump her elbow. 
3. Put bleach in her shampoo - Sisqo. Nuff said.
4. Have another woman hit her - Call your cousin, baby momma, or momma. Women love to fight for a man, blood or not, if they together or not, or just because they don't like the new woman. Catfights are always bonding moments.
5. Withdraw all her money out the account - All these I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T women think they the shit with their good credit and new shoes. Write a check and wipe her out. She will be singing one of those Credit Score.com jingles in no time.
6. Call one of her friends - You know the one. The promiscuously challenged one that you might have already hit in the bathroom at a bbq. You call, she will handle the rest. 
7. Slip her a micki - Vizine in the drink equals a sore ass in the morning. 
8. Cut her off. If you keep giving her cheese, that how you spoil a rat. 
9. Change your number - Women love to call/harass their significant other. Change your number for a few days and let her keep getting the disconnecting tone. 
10. Drive her car out of gas - Since most women change clothes 42x in the morning before they go to work or anywhere else, leave that car on E. AAA has 24 hour roadside assistance.

Bradley (Vegas) defeats Pacquiao in Split Decision

So this is how you fix a fight? The lead up with a 5 minute bio on the judges and some of their questionable calls. The judges pretty much saying that Bradley carried the fight from round 7 on, which is impossible if you were watching what I was watching. Bradley pretty much stop trying from rounds 3-9. He would jab, move, flinch from Manny's feints, and eat a few left hands. It was obvious he didn't want to force any type of action for the repurcussions that would ensue, mainly eating left hand straights and right hooks. I like most other sane individuals was waiting on the particulars only to be confused at the scorecards of 115-113, and thats when the fix was on. 

I'm officially retired from boxing. I'm moving to Canada and watching hockey.

That Aint Right

Irving, the No. 1 pick in the draft, became one of only six rookies to average at least 18.0 points, 5.0 assists and 1.0 steal while shooting at least 45 percent from the field, a list that includes Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson.

He is dead wrong for this. This would have ended my pick up game career if this happened to me and he didnt reveal himself after the game. I would have never ever returned to the court. Ever.
