A-Rod and Cynthia split....

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080703/ap_on_sp_ba_ne/bba_yankees_rodriguez

Another example of open marriages not working.

This comes just a few months after the birth of their newborn.

This is what happens when both spouses cheat on each other.  Recently, Cynthia has been seen with Lenny Kravitz in Paris holding hands.                                                   

A-ROD DOES NOT HAVE A PRENUP, SUCKS TO BE HIM RIGHT NOW.

NEW YORK - Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez and his wife have split less than three months after the birth of the couple's second daughter, according to a report in the New York Daily News.


The story on the newspaper's Web site comes amid reports linking Rodriguez to Madonna. Rodriguez refused to address the topic on three occasions Tuesday, once saying "no" when asked if he had any comment.

I'm skeptical

Foxnew’s Entertainment section has a theory out that Madonna is doing this to drive up interest in her upcoming tour/Guy’s upcoming movie, not sure why A-Rod, Cynthia and Kravitz would play along but all are represented by the same manager.

And no, it isn’t above Madonna to pull this stunt, she quietly leaked “Music” before it’s release date then openly claimed it was stolen and released to the public.

Do you think

that your theory of madonna leaking music is something unorthodox? Most famous musicians coming out with an album leak their music to garner interest or attract attention, definitely not just madonna. Its for publicity. Many musicians say it was “out of their control,” but honestly, the public isn’t that stupid. Songs are put on airwaves and the internet to get people to download the songs or buy the albums.

And hence why I'm skeptical

because it’s involving a public person who has a long history of using stunts for publicity including advertising on her t-shirts, add all said parties being under the same agent and something doesn’t look right…that and of all the people A-Rod could cheat with, why Madonna? Now if Cynthia starts going through divorce papers then I’ll believe it’s more than a stunt. Until then, I can’t help but remain suspicious.

Madonna/Guy

Of course according to the Ad to the right (US weekly cover) Madonna and Guy Ritchie are “over”. I have to marvel at the accuracy of Google Ads in relating forum content subject to advertising subject. On a related note, maybe Guy Ritchie will go back to making good movies now that he has his balls back.

Probably depends on where the suit is filed

by Agreen07 on Jul 3, 2008 3:27 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Hmm...

aren’t the most conservative states some of the ones that are most generous to spouses? I seem to remember that South Carolina will give a divorcing wife 50%, pretty much no questions asked, whereas divorce courts in more liberal states like California tend to consider the specific factors in the case (i.e., they both are fooling around, she doesn’t “need” $100 million…

I know nothing more than that reputation above that I’ve heard before…

I guess I have heard

that it depends on the state a lot for these kind of situations as it can totally differ based on what state they are in.

So where should I get married if I plan on cheating on my wife with Madonna?

by Agreen07 on Jul 3, 2008 4:52 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

For very high net worth individuals...

Those that are at, say, $50 million or higher, Texas would be better, because the community estate is usually going to split 50/50 when you are dealing with an estate that big (although, unlike in California, the court has the power to divide the estate disproportionately).

The rules in New York provide for an “equitable division,” and it is my understanding that the “non-titled” spouse (the one who doesn’t hold the martial assets in their name” is entitled only to a reasonable share. With very high net-worth individuals, that is usually less than 50%, from what I undersatnd.

by Adam J. Morris on Jul 3, 2008 5:01 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Let me ask you

is what you said applicable to an individual that is getting divorced (no prenup) and has assets worth around $2-4 mil?

by Agreen07 on Jul 3, 2008 5:03 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

In Texas?

There are various factors that play into it, that I could go into at more length, but an estate of that size is one that many family courts in Texas would view as appropriate for dividing disproportionately, particularly if one party has greater earning capacity than the other.

So if you don't complain

about the sidebar consisting of a few entertaining posts that do relate to baseball or this blog, that makes you a goof ball? I happen to think if anyone is a goof ball here, it is the people that go into these threads that they claim to not care about, yet they leave comments in them anyways!

Look, there is a reason why there are 100+ comments in this diary…if nobody really cared, nobody would comment at all. If they didn’t care, they would just skip right by the thread and disregard it. But people care and that is why they are leaving comments on this post. If the haters really wanted these comments to disappear they would stop posting in them! Yet this diary currently has 122 comments and 9 recs. There is a reason for that.

In summation, if the people who claim to hate these threads really hated them, they wouldn’t participate and instead they would choose not to comment in them. Each thread would instead have about 10-15 comments, from the individuals which you have entitled the “goof balls”, and the threads would be rendered meaningless and irrelevant. However that clearly isn’t the case. So if you don’t like these threads don’t post in them…we will see what happens.

What’s next? Are we all going to have our screennames taken away from us and assigned numbers?

I don’t hear anyone complaining over all the youtube clips that get posted on here or all the other OT subjects. I don’t see how it inhibits anyone from posting anything baseball related. There is always a place to talk baseball if you want to. It really seems to boil down to hating Miles more than anything.

Well

My guess is that folks recommend the prospect polls for 2 reasons:

1) To highlight them, so that people who aren’t as active don’t end up missing it, and
2) There is often some good discussion within the comments about the prospects in the running.

thes vets of LSB

seem to be taking the same attitude WBAP and KLIF used to take towards The Ticket. Now, neither of those shows even has sports talk anymore.

Its proven that sports and “all that that implies” is a successful formula.

Is this board ESPN Radio or The Ticket?

I think Miles is an uber-douche, but there is NOthing wrong with venturing off the sports page.

Well, as it was brought up not long ago… the off topic type posts are really meant to be in fanshots.

one problem i have is that EVERYTHING get’s rec’d. I wish there was a way to have sticky rec’s at the top because some really good posts have been knocked off the top by people rec’ing off topic posts.

concur

on the rec’s…....need the ability to neg rec so everyone “gets a vote” as to what reaches thetop.

IMHO Fanshots should just be removed from the site. That is where you put something if you want to lay it out to pasture.

I forget they are even there. Pointless.

Just more stuff to slow down this site which is painfully slow for me at times.

Venturing off the sports page

No one is suggesting that we talk ONLY baseball here, but you’re seeing a backlash against the sheer number of inane posts by Miles lately. I think if any user here posted that many “I’m pissed” style diaries in that short of time, you’d see the same backlash. Witness the recent piling on of lonestarjon baseball jesus and NYTXFAN. They calmed down and no one pokes much fun at them anymore.

Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted.

The majority of people love it

Numbers don’t lie. Compare the comments in Miles’ threads vs. other threads, it isn’t even close.

by Agreen07 on Jul 4, 2008 10:28 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

except

half the comments on this thread are about how much you and miles suck. so, not really a good indicator.

and just because a bunch of dumbasses overran this site doesn’t mean that it’s a good thing. is adam trying to make a living off this site? is he in it for the money? you getting paid for it?

people enjoy writing that they think Miles and I suck

if they didn’t enjoy doing that they wouldn’t comment. It is the Howard Stern syndrome…

also

a lot more people comment on threads like this because they actually can. It’s not hard to have an opinion of how mannish madonna looks. Go look at a thread about pitch fx data about hurley and I might not have much to say on it, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t much rather read that. you know, this being a baseball blog and all.

i think tmz has a comments section. go nuts

You love this thread

you keep commenting in it. If there weren’t threads like this you would get bored and have nothing to say. The more you comment on this page, the more you prove my point.

youo read 100+ comments to tell me I suck?

Seriously, do you hear yourself? That makes no sense, you could have just gone to the bottom of the thread and said I sucked but you read every comment cause you knew that this thread like most Miles threads are golden.

Here’s a sure sign you are on the wrong side of an argument: Longhorn has your back.

You know Z, I am in agreement with you on this one, as I typically am

But I do find it a bit ironic.

You and Dan are Sharky’s biggest fans when he pulls the exact same asanine, moronically repetitve shit. I fail to see how Miles’ banality is any worse than Sharky’s, nor any different, yet you two and a few others cheer him on eagerly.

Maybe you’ll understand a little more now when some of us complain about what a tedious dick punch Sharky so consistently is, like Miles and agreen have become.

I'm really confused as to what your problem is with me.

Because I made a thread about AJM and Miles becoming facebook friends? I really don’t get it. I don’t instigate arguments. I’m really not sure what your complaint is with my actions.

Don't bring

Agreen into all of this, he hasn’t done anything wrong.

He's just upset from a fight we had in 2006

when I posted a diary which featured a funny news story on youtube…BThomas went after me calling me dumb and somehow concluded that because I posted the clip I must always go to youtube for news as opposed to he who watches news on a television. I called him out and told him to remove the stick from his ass and he didn’t like that. He has hated me ever since.

I thought you were confused?

I guess you had an epiphany. Yay for you.

I don’t have anything against you, dude. You are probably a nice guy.

You just say alot of stupid shit, which wouldn’t be so bad, except, you say it oh so fucking often. Aggressive stupidity tends to wear on people, FYI.

You calling me out in 06:

Uh, you were a tedious douche then, I called you on it, and moved on. I had actually forgotten that that was you that scribed that boring bag-o-dullardity. But it was fun looking that up, though, thanks.

This is a more recent one that I did remember:

http://www.lonestarball.com/2008/3/5/13187/59817#2716989

There you go again, scoop. Outstanding. Never let them facts get in the way of self-perception.

Here’s the thing: Look who your defenders are. Is it really your contention that you, Longhorn, Lamusclefag, and Miles, are the voices of reason and taste and all that is worthwhile at LSB? Really?? You have the finger on the LSB pulse?

yep it's just us 4 who love Miles..

us 4 and the 25 or more others who would of rec’d his power ranking diary.

It got yanked in 12 hours with 14 recs last I looked. Had it not been yanked it most likely would of doubled that. So yeh it’s just us 4 uh huh.

And if you read it a lot of people commenting on how funny it was. Is it really that bad guy for you to get your panties all in a bunch over?

was never all that frequent of a beating, though. There’s some sort of retard miles thread popping up every day, it seems.

it’s all about the frequency of the posts, not the actual content. Interesting.

Beating

defined as an individual who creates diaries which get the most comments out of any of the diaries on this blog? Yeah that’s such a beating.

I find these miles diaries to be a beating.

I rarely read them. I find them irritating and agree with zywica about the subject generally.

But what actions speak louder than words? The fact that this diary has a lot of posts in it, a good portion of which are expressing irritation?

People that express irritation

enjoy the threads just as much as the people that enjoy them. If they truly were irritated by them they wouldn’t bother to participate and they would go away on there own because nobody would comment on them.

it sounds like they’re really enjoying it.

Perhaps not

As I said earlier, you’re in the midst of a backlash due to the sheer number of posts and diaries lately, all of which have the same general tone. We’ve been through this before with other posters who put up lots of stuff in a short time. It will pass.

Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted.

huh?

He’s posted 2 fanposts, is that a lot?

by Longhorn on Jul 4, 2008 8:39 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

To clarify

I said posts and diaries, perhaps I should have said posted comments and diaries, which is what I meant.

Cynthia Rodriguez has retained legal counsel and intends to file for divorce from New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez on Monday.

C-Rod has hired Houston attorney Earle Lilly to head a team of lawyers, including Maurice Kutner of Miami, in a big bucks and sure-to-be bitter divorce case against her husband, A-Rod.

Lilly confirmed his hiring and says he was retained within the last week.

The divorce case will be played out in Dade County (Fla.) Family Court.

The suit cites a “long period of infidelity on the part or Mr. Rodriguez, an all-star baseball player for the New York Yankees.” It also claims “emotional abandonment.”

Cynthia is back in Miami after her getaway in Paris with “friend” Lenny Kravitz and is not available for comment on the advice of her attorneys.
