just saying... Rihanna's Illness Sparks Pregnancy RumorsBy Danny Cox/Examiner.com | April 18, 2013 Rihanna is always in the news for some reason or another, and usually it has to deal with her music or her relationship with Chris Brown. Now, she's in the spotlight for both as she has been canceling a number of tour dates lately, and TMZ reported on April 17, 2013, that her "illness" which has caused those cancellations is causing a lot of rumors that Rihanna could be pregnant. So far on her Diamonds World Tour, Rihanna has canceled four concert dates. That may not seem like a lot on a whole tour, but it just began back on March 8, 2013. The canceled tour dates have come in Houston and Dallas. Sources have told TMZ that the singer was suffering from a throat infection back in early March and it actually could hinder her singing. That seems like a more than legitimate excuse, but the issue is that the throat infection problem is still around a month later. The Twitter world has gone wild thinking that the Rihanna rumors are that she is pregnant, and there have also been complaints about the canceled tour dates. With that, Rihanna took to her Twitter:"I was sick since San Diego! I kept working because I thought two days off after the Vegas show would be enough time to recover and I fucked up, those were two days off from hell and today is not different! I’m sad and disappointed about it! I had all kinds of plans for Houston!" __
It never fails when we sign someone to a big contract. The moment we sign Kershaw he's going to turn into Josh Hamilton circa 2004.
Sure, but I'm thinking after having a look at the old people on his chest maybe they just want to be "friends".
She got a throat infection from dirty dick in her throat. Kemp just sucks cause he isn't using PEDs and is coming off a major injury to a vital piece of his swing.
Kemp starts looking like himself, but will it be enough to lift Dodgers? Danny Knobler, Baseball Insider | CBSSports.com April 24, 2013 11:46 pm ET Kemp: "I've just got to continue to swing at pitches I can drive. That's what I do." NEW YORK -- Two days ago, the word on Matt Kemp was that he was a mess. "You can throw the ball by Kemp," said a big-league coach whose team recently faced Kemp's Dodgers. "That's a bad swing right now. He reminds me of [Alex] Rios when Rios was in a funk." Sometimes it's worth waiting a day or two before you write, because here's the updated word on Matt Kemp: He's beginning to look like himself again. He's not there yet, just like the sub-.500 Dodgers aren't there yet. But this isn't the time to write off Kemp, not after two games at Citi Field where he drove the ball with power to the opposite field. "That's what I do," Kemp said Wednesday, even before he finally hit his first home run of the season. "I've just got to continue to swing at pitches I can drive. That's what I do. If I drive the ball to right-center field, we'll be a very successful team." Kemp's home run Wednesday, which broke an 86 at-bat drought that was the third-longest of his career, actually went down the right-field line, almost at the foul pole. But his double Tuesday night was to right-center. "That ball was a home run in a lot of parks," teammate Mark Ellis said. "That's him." It's also worth noting that Kemp's home run came on a 95 mph fastball from Matt Harvey, the Mets' super young pitcher. Harvey has one of the better fastballs around, but he was not able to "throw the ball by" Kemp. One more thing worth noting: Despite Kemp's home run and despite being the first team this season to score more than a single run off Harvey, the Dodgers didn't win Wednesday's game. The Mets were able to tie the game in the ninth off Dodgers closer Brandon League, and win it in the 10th on Jordany Valdespin's grand slam. "We lost," Kemp said. "We've got to get better." Three and a half weeks into the season, the Dodgers have still lost more games than they've won. Colleague Jon Heyman covered many of the reasons why and also the reasons why the Dodgers could still get considerably better, but it's clear that the one way they get much better is to get more production from Kemp. Besides the lack of home runs, the Dodger cleanup hitter had just six RBI in the first 19 games. Manager Don Mattingly predicted Wednesday afternoon that Kemp's power "is coming back," but he also cautioned that the Dodgers shouldn't expect or need Kemp to put up the numbers he did in his near-MVP season of 2011. "You see that one year, you hope it's the norm," Mattingly said. "That really hasn't been the norm. We need the normal year from him. . . . I'd like to see his normal numbers: 25-30 home runs, hopefully around 100 [RBI], and around .300." Two days ago, it was obviously too early to write Kemp off, but it also didn't feel right to predict that he could be counted on for those normal numbers. Good thing I waited. The Dodgers aren't done, but they still have their issues. Kemp isn't yet at his best, but he's no longer one of the big issues. __
And with the single today he has driven in our last four runs. The public backlash against Matt coming off of injury is identical to what happened to Hanley, AGon and Crawford and we know how that ended for those towns and teams.
Unfortunately I have heard a few boos and players do pay attention to the net and what sportswriters write.
