I love little girls they make me feel so good
I love little girls they make me feel so bad
When they're around they make me feel
Like I'm the only guy in town
I love little girls they make me feel so good

They don't care if I'm a one way mirror
They're not frightened by my cold exterior

They don't ask me questions
They don't want to scold me
They don't look for answers
They just want to hold me
Isn't this fun
Isn't this what life's all about
Isn't this a dream come true
Isn't this a nightmare too

(Repeat first verse)

They don't care about my inclinations
They're not frightened by my revelations

Uh oh take a second take
Uh oh it's a mistake
Uh oh I'm in trouble
Uh oh the little girl was just to little
Too little, too little, too little
Isn't this what life's all about
Isn't this a dream come true
Isn't this a nightmare too...

And I don't care what people say
And I don't care what people think
And I don't care how we look walking down the street

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat first verse)

Looks like someone has some baby mama drama -


SAN PEDRO DE MACORIS, Dominican Republic -- As Robinson Cano and his advisers prepare to seek a big money free-agent contract, he is part of an increasingly bitter child-support case in which the anticipated windfall is not lost on either side. Jackelin Castro, the mother of Cano's 3-year-old son, filed a child support case in a San Pedro de Macoris court last month. She, her attorneys, and representatives of Cano are scheduled back in court Nov. 7, just as Cano hits the free-agent market. Cano took home $15 million this season. And, if all goes as planned, the five-time All-Star figures to sign a multiyear deal with the Yankees or another deep-pocketed suitor this winter.

Castro, in an interview with "Outside the Lines," portrayed Cano as an absentee, tight-with-a-buck father, saying he has skimped on adequate support for son by paying her about $600 a month. Cano said he is paying the agreed-upon amount of support.


The sides have been trying to reach a deal since at least last February when, according to Castro, an attorney who no longer works for Cano visited her home and pitched what she describes as a 10-year contract.


The proposal, she said, dealt with visitation rights for Cano, as well as child support -- which a document she was given indicates was for a payment of 150,000 Dominican pesos every six months, or the equivalent of between $500 and $600 a month. Also included was a confidentiality provision. If found in violation, Castro would be liable for damages in the amount 2 million pesos, or about $47,000.


She declined to sign the document.


"The intention of him and his advisors was somewhat to intimidate me," Castro said.


Those close to Cano, speaking on the condition of anonymity, brushed off questions raised by Castro and her attorney, concluding a prominent member who insists "there is no story here." Though no one suggests the child's father is anyone other than the superstar ballplayer, the mother is portrayed as having tried to "shake down" Cano for more money and made threats of him.


Cano issued a statement Wednesday through his publicist: "I have gone above and beyond to care for my child including an agreed upon monthly stipend, a house, a car, insurance, school and other essentials for the baby and his mother as well many other things including toys and clothing. This is a private matter and I will not fight it in the media, nor will I say anything disparaging about the mother of my child or comment any further. I look forward to an amicable resolution that will allow me time with my son."


Cano is represented by Brodie Van Wagenen of CAA Sports and Jay Z's Roc Nation, and a representative of his new team says Major League Baseball security has been briefed in anticipation of Ms. Castro and her attorneys going public. An MLB official says the office became aware of the issue after Castro or a representative of hers contacted the league office about the child support issue. The official said there was no role for MLB and no reason to report anything to law enforcement.


Castro told "OTL" that the couple had a relationship of almost three years, starting in 2008. They lived under the same roof during the offseason. She made trips to New York in-season. Now, after the birth of their son, they rarely talk, except through third parties and the elevated chatter of attorneys.


Soon after the birth of his son, Robinson Miguel Cano Castro, she said, Cano began monthly payments of $500 that increased last May to $600. The payments routinely have been delivered by a relative, though there is not a specific date or schedule. For example, Castro said she received payments for May and June on July 2, followed by payments for July and August on Aug. 15.


"It's like a crumb because I [have] to chase after that money," she said through an interpreter. "It's not something where you get it every month on a specified date."


Wendy Diaz, her attorney, said the sum itself is an embarrassment for someone of Cano's financial wherewithal, adding "I believe the money he gives to the son, when he does, is not enough to feed the dogs of Robinson Cano's house." She paused, then added: "Maybe he is expending more money on the dogs and cars that he has than on his own child."


Castro, 39, said if people want to see her as a gold-digger, so be it. As she tells it, her 3-year-old is entitled to live like Robinson Cano's son, not tucked away at night in a 3-foot-by-6-foot crib jammed between a wall and his mother's bed. Not under cracked and falling plaster (products of a leaky roof). Not in a six-room place that is home to five while Cano's Dominican home sits 30 minutes away in a secure, gated golf course community.


She says Cano bought and moved her into the house in 2008; he also bought her a BMW SUV. She says the insurance Cano says he is paying for does not cover her son because the paperwork does not list the son's name.


Castro is eight years his senior, based on their listed ages, and a divorcee with three teenagers. She and Cano were early into a pregnancy with twins when she suffered a miscarriage in 2009, according to Castro.


In September 2010, she gave birth to her son.


Through an interpreter, Castro repeatedly declined to reveal what she deems appropriate monthly support for the child, though her attorney puts that amount at $25,000 a month. Castro challenged the image Cano projects through his RC 24 Foundation and its mission to assist "underserved children." Instead, she said her son needs a fatherly presence in his life. She described Cano as having an "anonymous mindset regarding the baby."


She said Cano distanced himself from her late in the pregnancy and encouraged her to return home to the Dominican for the child's birth.


"His living circumstances, financially, socially, and culturally, are very, very far from what the child's experiencing and gets," Castro said. "It's a very large gap. What hurts me most [is] he shows the world that he helps children. That he's a good person, he's very humane. So with something of his own, he may trick the world and everybody who sees him because he's the big star that he is, but there's a reality, which is a son who doesn't [receive] the quality of life he's supposed to."

He was a late cut from Packers camp.


He and JaMarcus Russell are probably sitting somewhere, wondering where it all went so wrong.....

Had no idea these two were still in the league
