Oliver Stone once said, “Never underestimate the power of jealousy and the power of envy to destroy. Never underestimate that.” Aristotle gave it to us like this, “Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbor to have them through envy.” Then George Washington stood up, took his teeth out, poured out a ‘lil liquor for all the dead homies and said, “It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it.”
On Monday Major League Baseball handed down suspensions for 13 players including Alex Rodriguez. A-Rod was hit for 211 games which is equivalent to the rest of this season and all of 2014, while the rest of those duns were just hit for 50 games. The other cats just took the 50 like a “G” and kept it moving. A-Rod on the other hand, is going to appeal it like he should.
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! What’s killin’ me is all of these reporters and talking heads on TV that are jealous of this cat for being the pretty boy with all of the bread and the women. Every time one of these Joe’s opens their mouths they’re talking about how fake A-Rod is and that he should just take the punishment and go away.
Now don’t mistake my defense of this cat as me being an A-Rod fan because I can’t stand baseball. It’s like watching paint dry sitting on that plastic cover on Big Momma’s couch with no air conditioning in the summer time. It’s torcher playboy. So don’t get it twisted that I may remotely like this dun or the game of baseball.
However, I can spot a hater a mile away like the sound of a gun shot in the projects. When ole boy was being interviewed on Monday night before his season debut against the White Sox, these cats went in on him about the suspension and rightfully so. It’s obvious that he can’t talk about it because he’s appealing it. Then some dun asks him if he did in fact take steroids and he deflected the question to being happy about being able to play again.
It was classic A-Rod but what did you expect for him to say bruh? Did they really think that this dude was gonna say, “Yeah I took them joints!” when he’s already told you that he’s gonna fight the suspension? Sure, if he was innocent he would have just come out and said no but he ain't innocent and y'all know that. So why are you asking questions that you already know the answer to and you know he's not gonna keep it 100?
That's like asking Aaron Hernandez if he did it before he goes to court! Or like asking the dope boy if it's his cocaine that they found down the freakin' street from his house right before he goes on trial. Some of these duns out here calling themselves reporters are idiots. I've been in sales for 23 years and the first rule of thought is to never ask a question where there is no answer because it takes you nowhere.
It's like some chick having all of the circumstantial evidence she needs to imply that her man is dirty. However, she doesn't have the smoking gun to prove it but she's upset that this clown isn't just admitting to it. Let me help you out babygirl. If he wanted you to know that he was dirty he would have just told you to swing and be cool with it. So until you find hard evidence he ain't coppin' to nothing! That's A-Rod! Until you produce pictures of him sticking them joints in his butt he ain't, in his Bernie Mac voice, sayin' NOTIN', NOTIN'!
Then I heard some clown say, “It’s all about the money for him man!” And? Give me something else homeboy? It’s always about the money pimp! Boyz ain’t out here working for free! You didn’t fly to the Chi to interview that dun for free. It’s always about the bread.
If he accepts the 211 games he stands to lose $30 million! Would you just give a boy $30 mill if you had never once tested positive and the normal suspension for a positive test is 50 games? Those other duns took the 50 because they didn’t have $30 million sitting on the table.
Let me break it down where you can smell it playboy! If you and your homies were alleged to have stolen candy out of Fat Daddy’s Sugar Spot on your lunch hour and you know full well that you took 50 penny cookies with the strawberry frosting, a bag of Funions and some Lemon Heads but they couldn’t prove it. Then the cafeteria lady with the fish net cap on her head sees you running into the building and takes you to the office do you admit to anything?
They end up giving the rest of your crew 5 swats in the principal’s office because Fat Daddy thinks that you guys stole from him but he can’t prove it. Now you were the light skinned curly head stud that got all the women so because of that they told you that you had to take 20 swats in instead of the 5; even though you had already eaten the candy and there was no evidence. Would you bend over or call Big Momma?
If you would call Big Momma then get off of A-Rod and stop acting brand new. He’s gonna appeal that joint and laugh at the Yankees for trying to help MLB because they got sucka punched and signed him to a 10 year $250 million dollar deal. He didn’t force them to offer him all of that money. Don’t think for one minute that the Yankees aren't driving the bus to get ole boy thrown out of baseball because they’re still on the hook for $100 million with him.
If Major League Baseball really wanted the game to be clean they would have life-time banned boyz the first time they came up dirty years ago. However, dirty cats sell tickets and boost TV ratings. They weren't complaining when Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa were going at it a few years ago. They relished in it because people were watching that ole dull game and they got paid too. So don't hate on A-Rod because he's the pretty boy that boyz don't like.
Now is taking P.E.D.'s cheating? Sure it is! But if you're gonna hand out suspensions be consistent with it. Don't pick and choose who you're gonna jam up and just throw something on the table expecting a boy to roll over just because you think that he should. Any lawyer worth his or her weight in their degree will win that appeal and some. At the very least that 211 games is gonna get cut in half or down to 75 because it's too much bread on the table.
Ima tell you like the old timers in the barber shop once told me, “You’re ALWAYS worth whatever people are WILLING to pay you.” So just because you don’t like A-Rod doesn’t mean that you can just throw him away. Stop me when I start lyin' playboy!
Holla At Ya Boy!

The quote under the caption isn’t real but its REAL talk!
This is a story where there are no heroes, a bunch of cowardly complicated villains, and no right answers.
ReplyDeleteMLB is worth billions of dollars. They're not jealous of Alex Rodriquez's 315 million h's made in the game. What they are is embarrassed by his complete disdain for the game they think is more important than it really is.
ARod has been using since 2002 and everyone knows this. He doesn't deserve to play more baseball but his own arrogance and lack of self awareness prevent this from being known to him, or anyone who supports him.
He's done more to hurt baseball than Shoeless Joe Jackson or Pete Rose, but those guys are banned.
Thank you so much for linking this to my twitter timeline. Good job.
