Nashville Escorts: Who Is Marco Estrada?

10 02 2010

Many folks have written off this move for the Crew due to a below-average strikeout rate of 6.47 K/9 in Triple-A last season.  While those numbers may be nothing to write home about, he balanced that nicely with a low 2.18 BB/9 walk rate — good for a 2.97 K/BB ratio.  Strikeout rates should never be looked at in a vacuum, as even a modest strikeout rate in the 5-6 range can be effective if the walks are low enough and the young man is a groundball pitcher — it is unclear whether or not Estrada can induce groundballs consistently in the big leagues, though.
The point of this post is not to pimp Marco Estrada as the future savior of the Brewers’ starting rotation, nor is it even to guarantee Estrada will be a #3 starter in the years to come.  Marco Estrada does have a fine chance, however, to stick as a #4 or #5 starter either in 2011 or perhaps even later in 2010, depending on injuries and ineffectiveness, of course.

Nashville Escorts: Because When Michael Steele Refuses To Return a Racist’s Phone Calls, That’s News!

10 02 2010

Robertson serves as the face of the “distrust” that the Post tries to portray in the piece. [Philip] Rucker writes, “Robertson said he has reached out repeatedly to [RNC chairman Michael] Steele but has been rebuffed. ‘He hasn’t called me back,’ Robertson said. ‘I find that disconcerting.’”
Also disconcerting is that the Post published that quote with a straight face. If the paper had bothered to assign someone to cover the burgeoning Tea Party movement, its editors would have known that Robertson doesn’t actually represent anyone, except maybe himself. Nor is this the first time Robertson has complained to a gullible reporter that the GOP is ignoring him. But the Post should have known that Michael Steele, a black man, isn’t likely to return the calls of a guy who just last week sent out a fundraising appeal featuring a photo of Obama dressed as a pimp.

Nashville Escorts: Grammys’ fierce red carpet fashion

10 02 2010

Ciara’s long-sleeved black Givenchy dress had everything but the kitchen sink on it — lace, clear crystals, silk cord and vertebrae-like details. It was a “Mad Max” moment for sure. And not in a good way. Miley Cyrus’ dark green Herve Leger mini-dress and messy hair didn’t do her any favors, either.
For the men, the suit was far from being all business.
John Legend wore a striking gray silk shantung Prada suit with a black leather tie and gray mesh sweater underneath; Usher, a beige Emporio Armani three-piece suit with an oversized check shirt and a polka dot tie. Meanwhile, the group MGMT took thrift-store chic to a new level, wearing more clashing prints than a closet full of clown clothes. LMFAO have their own style, too — you might call it skater pimp.

Nashville Escorts: 411’s 52nd Annual Grammy Awards Report 01.31.10

10 02 2010

Justin Bieber and Ke$ha are out again to pimp Bon Jovi. And we head back to commercial. And I’m back to the Pro Bowl. 24 all in the 3rd. Katy Perry and Alice Cooper are out after the break to talk about Florence Greenburg getting a Trustees award. Here’s Best Rock Album. I’m saying they give this to DMB, Rachael says Green Day. She wins again, of course. “Big Whiskey” is nominated for Album of the Year, how does it not win this? Billie Joe thanks family and Butch Vig, and some folks I don’t know. Chris O’donell introduces the Zac Brown Band with Leon Russell. They start with “America the Beautiful,” cause they’re country and they’re patriotic, dammit. They go into “Dixie Lullaby,” a real old-school country song, with Leon Russell doing most of the work. And now into their “hit,” “Chicken Fried.” It’s interesting at least.

Nashville Adult Entertainment: McCain’s Daughter: Tea Party Movement is Racist

10 02 2010

On September 10, 2009, McCain went on the View to criticize actor Charlie Sheen after he issued an open letter to president Obama. “Charlie Sheen is the latest celebrity to talk about how he does not believe 9/11,” McCain told Barbara Walters. “I quoted Charlie Sheen yesterday about his experience with prostitutes, so really you’re the one I should be listening to about 9/11?… I am not going to take my political advice from Charlie Sheen.”
