Pretty Girl 01.31.12 - Lola Glaudini

Crappy shows (Hello, Criminal Minds!) should put this chick in a bikini more often.  Also, not to be gooey, she's got gorgeous eyes.

It's No Viking Ship, But...

If you want to snag me this as a belated bon anniversaire, that would be awesome.  Oh yeah, that's why you haven't heard from me in several days: I was, shall we say, incapacitated thanks to the celebration.

Here's the eBay link. ;-j

Cheers.

Artistas hablan de Avril Lavigne

Algunos artistas de la nueva generación tienen como una inspiración o de referencia a nuestra Avril Lavigne . Esta semana, Avril fue citado en una entrevista con AOL Cambio con Cassadee Papa de la banda Hey Monday, donde el cantante dice que Avril es una inspiración para su trabajo.

"Under My Skin es sin duda uno de mis mayores inspiraciones."

Y Jared Mónaco, de la banda The Maine, Twitter sobre Avril el pasado lunes (30). Echa un vistazo al tweet:

"Me encanta, que tan pronto terminamos nuestro set, Avril Lavigne se reproduce a través de la red"

Para su concierto del sábado en el Saitama Super Arena, el dúo optó por Koi, que sirve comida tradicional japonesa.

I think that Showtime is trying to capture viewers by over-sexing all of their characters.  And I am completely OK with that.  Especially if Kristen Bell is next.

Tribe Prospect Countdown: #13 C Chun Chen

6'1", 200 lbs, 23 in 2012
Bats: Right; Throws: Right

2011 Stats (AA Akron): .262, 16 HR, 70 RBI, .782 OPS, 2.84 K/BB

So, following up two AAA National Championship seasons, the pickins will be a bit slim in Columbus this season.  Between the failed prospects (Matt LaPorta), utter has-beens (Jose Lopez was an All-Star), and people that I've never even heard of (who the hell is Chris Seddon?), Mike Sarbaugh is gonna have to break out the big coaching guns this year.  One ray of sunshine will be catcher Chun Chen.  Despite suffering through an injury plagued season (not to worry, none of them should be chronic), Chen led the AA Aeros in both home runs and RBI.  True, his OPS was down (.924 in 2010) and his K/BB was way up (1.35 in 2010), but a great a deal of his focus was on improving his defense.  While Chun is considered about an average receiver, that's pretty high praise for a kid who hadn't played the position before 2008.  In fact, Akron skipper Chris Tremie (formely the organization's catching coordinator) helped him to 34.5% caught stealings, good for 3rd in the Eastern League.  Even so, Chen certainly shows more big league promise as a hitter than as a defender.  The 16 homers of 2011 were a career high and if he can replicate the gap power a year earlier (38 doubles), he might just be the right-handed bat that the club needs on the lakefront.  Alternatively, both his English and Spanish are works in progress and would preclude MLB catching duties if they are not ready when his bat is.  Remember that he is young and will likely see only a September cup of coffee in 2012.  Regardless of whether he is a year away or where he might play, it is nice to see a talented youngster with a big righty bat, who is not significantly hindered by injuries.

Mid Market What?

Yesterday, the Tigers signed Prince Fielder to a 9yr, $214mil contract, the fourth richest of all-time behind A-Rod, A-Rod and the Angels' deal with Albert Pujols.  From everything that I had heard recently about Detroit ($8,000 average home value, 14% unemployment in 2009), I could not imagine the Tigres to be any less of a mid-market team that the Tribe.  So, I decided to look it up.  According to Forbes data that is about 8 months old, the Indians are the #25 valued MLB team at $353mil, while the Tigers are #21 at $385mil.  Both team peaked in value during the 2008 campaign (you know, just before the shit trickled down out of the fan into the sports world) at $417mil and $407mil respectively, but Detroit has rebuilt since then while the Wahoos have continued to bleed worth (including a precipitous $40mil drop 2011 over 2010 based on poor attendance, I'm looking at you Cleveland).  Larry Dolan has managed to keep his operating income in the black over the past decade, while Michael Ilitch has lost about $30mil over each of the past 3 seasons.  He might be willing to spend more on payroll (the Tigers have increased their salaried payouts consistently over the past 10 years and have paid about $150mil in each of the last 3) because he has seen a 370% return on his $82mil investment of 1992.  Dolan, on the other hand, has seen just 9% since he purchased the club in 2000 and has chosen to keep payroll under $85mil in 6 of the last 10 years.  Is it the chicken or the egg?  Just to bring everything up to date, the Tribe's 2012 payroll should be about $80mil and Detroit's around $170mil.   So, despite the fact that each Indians fan gives about $47/yr to the organization (as opposed to $31/yr for the Tigers), Larry Dolan is a cheap bastard.  A city that has 9.5% unemployment and a crumbling infrastructure has landed a fish a 100x bigger than anything our guys even considered.  The brain trust could not even give me Josh Willingham.  All I wanted was Josh freakin' Willingham, but they would not promise him a starting job (mostly because they head over heels for Grady Sizemore's cock) and he landed with yet another division rival.  Fuck me.

Here's to praying for Dan Gilbert.

Cheers.

Keep It In Perspective

Someone said that to me today.  The back of my chair had fallen out and I had blundered backwards.  The entire room swiveled to gape at me, mouth-breathing maws wide open.  In the process of encouraging them to return to their business and right myself an errant elbow knocked over a can of soda, prompting a string of obscenities to fly from me.  The elder statesman quipped that I should watch my mouth.  When I replied how massively irrelevant "proper" language is, the "try to keep it in perspective" comment was received.

Keep what in motherfucking perspective?  The goddamn Buddhists have it right: this is all pain, all suffering.  That is the nature of human existence.  I tried Buddhism once, briefly.  While the tenants seem phenomenally adroit at soothing a rampaging psyche, the lifestyle leaves little room for any sort of enjoyment.

I am so ungodly sick of trying to convince myself that any of this bullshit is worth a good goddamn.  You can have it, assholes.  Go get your shovels and cram some more shit into your over-stuffed mouths.

There is no meaning.  And I'm the one they say is crazy.

Fuck off.
