He said he wanted to be the highest paid player in the game; Lozano often cited the Howard deal. So the Cardinals offered him Howards deal, plus a few million more.

He said that wasn't good enough, so they gave him a damn long deal with player options that would lengthen it to 10 or so years and over $200 million.

Face it - there was only 1 thing that wasn't going to 'insult' Albert Pujols: A-Rod money. Well he wasn't getting that in St. Louis.

Once again - why do players consider taking money to be 'business' but when someone is offering it, it's 'personal'.

Begone, Albert. There are very few Cardinals fans that give a shit what happens to you going forward. You had your choice and you spurned the franchise over petty bullshit and the "$3 or 4 million a year" you swore you'd never leave the Cardinals over just a few months ago.

You're only making this worse. Shut the **** up and enjoy the west coast - this franchise doesn't need you.

So if the player options were guaranteed years, God would have told her to stay in St. Louis.

Shut the **** up, DiDi. You're a glorified housewife that's parroting the words of a whoring, boozing, slimeball of an agent that has some very massive promissory notes to take care of. Don't act like you know anything about those discussions; I'm betting you never saw a single word of the proposed contract.

Get gone.

I like how you believe you know more about the contract that was offered than the player in question's wife.

Bitter is bitter.

Do some homework, Tex.

There are a ton of sources that are saying exactly what I've put out there.

And I love how you think she's not just saying what Dan Lozano told her. Do you believe she read the contract? Do you believe she'd have any earthly idea what it says if she did? Do you really trust anything Lozano has to say? The guy is widely regarded as the biggest cad in the entire industry.

And ultimately - I just don't care. Take it at face value if you want - God would've changed his mind if the deal was guaranteed?

It's just spin. It's disingenuous, bullshit spin.

I wasn't bitter about this when it went down; business is business. However, the more they talk, the more irritated about it I'm getting. I'm more than a little tired of listening to these folks talk like I'm devoid of critical thinking skills.

Take your massive paychecks and your 'respect' and get the hell out of town already.

I'm sure Pujols shut her out on everything in the know and she had to get her information from the agent.

Bitter is bitter.

There is no better "source" than the source involved.

Derek Jeter Reportedly Trades Autographed Memorabilia for One-Night Stands
By Steve DelVecchio December 13, 2011 - Posted in Baseball

Derek Jeter is a boss. Considering he is a 12-time All-Star and five-time World Series champion, that is something you already knew. We also know he has very little — if any — problems with the ladies. Jeter is still a bachelor at age 37 and seems to be doing just fine. A couple of months ago we told you that his relationship with Minka Kelly may not be completely over, but today we’re inclined to think that it is. According to the NY Post, Jeter is back to playing the field and has been courting a number of beauties in his Trump World Tower bachelor pad. And that’s not even the entertaining part.

A source told the Post that Jeter has become known for having one-night stands with women and then sending them on their way with parting gifts.

“Derek has girls stay with him at his apartment in New York, and then he gets them a car to take them home the next day,” the source revealed. “Waiting in his car is a gift basket containing signed Jeter memorabilia, usually a signed baseball.”

Believe it or not, we still haven’t gotten to the most entertaining part.

“This summer, he ended up hooking up with a girl who he had hooked up with once before, but Jeter seemed to have forgotten about the first time and gave her the same identical parting gift, a gift basket with a signed Derek Jeter baseball,” the source continued. “He basically gave her the same gift twice because he’d forgotten hooking up with her the first time!”

And there you have it. Before people start lambasting Jeter for enjoying the whimsy and wonder of the one-night stand, remember that it takes two to tango. He goes through the effort of giving his acquaintances gifts following the fun, and that’s more than most professional athletes can say I’m sure. So he forgot he met someone. Maybe he was a little tipsy. Who knows? It’s not like he brought a microphone into his room to broadcast the fun.

Thanks to LBS reader Manny for pointing out the story to us.

Especially when the source claims God guided them to LA, right?

Not sure what your point is.

kcpasco 12-13-2011 12:50 PM

Diedre was mad at God. Well thats not very Tebow like.

Because you know if Albert didn't get that extra 44 million he might have not been able to support himself. He left for money I get it, just quit lying about it Albert.

And quit crying about the city disrespecting you. How ****ing arrogant can 1 person be.

My point is that she's working very hard to push an agenda right now and that there are a lot of connected people that are directly refuting everything she's saying.

kcpasco 12-13-2011 12:55 PM

This is just a bullshit PR move to try and save some face, well I'm not buying it.

Good luck in Anaheim Albert and good riddance.

BigCatDaddy 12-13-2011 12:58 PM

Damn, Albert bruised a lot of asses.

Look at how the tone of this thread has changed over the last few days.

It wasn't his decision to leave that did it - it was his bullshit petty whining on the way out the door.

Yeah, that's rubbed me pretty damn raw.
