Matt Kemp Says It's Not Rihanna's Fault He Sucks


Rihanna's boyfriend LA Dodger Matt Kemp has been having a sucky season but he says it's not Rihanna's fault!

From the LA Times
"My girl has nothing to do with what I do on the baseball field," Kemp says. "If anything she helps. She makes me happy, and as stressed as I am coming home sometimes, it's nice to have someone there who just wants to support you."

Whatever the reason, Kemp is not the same player who won a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger award last season. But as poorly as things have gone, including the suggestion from his agent that maybe it's best he be traded, he's not looking to escape.

"I don't want to get traded,'' he says. "I take the blame for how things have gone — even one better month from me would have made a difference. But this is where I want to play. I love the fans here.

"I know I have let a lot of people down, and sitting here right now, I'd like to apologize to the fans who buy tickets and jerseys."
