Egads. Denny Neagle was recently busted for soliciting this....person.
Looks like "Buffalo Bill" from Silence of the Lambs.
Denver's hooker market must be pretty tough. (umm...not that I would know or anything. Nope.)

| Left-handed pitcher Denny Neagle's contract was terminated by the Colorado Rockies on Monday, an attempt by the organization to protect its image. The move figures to cost the club $19 million. It came after Neagle's arrest early Friday morning on charges of soliciting a prostitute. There has been talk the Rockies could attempt to void the contract, which has $19 million remaining, by claiming Neagle violated a morals clause in baseball's standard players contract, but there is no precedent for such an effort being upheld. Among others, the San Diego Padres invoked the clause when pitcher La Marr Hoyt was suspended for the 1987 season because of three drug violations, but the Major League Baseball Players Association won its legal battle, forcing the Padres to pay Hoyt for the remainder of the contract. "There have been some attempts, but they have not been upheld," said Rob Manfred, Major League Baseball's executive vice president for labor relations and human resources. Rockies CEO Charlie Monfort said he was not concerned about the contract situation. "The monetary aspect never entered into our decision," he said. "There is a pattern of action that doesn't represent what the Rockies are about. I feel sorry for Denny and his family. He definitely made a mistake. But we have a lot of young, good-charter kids we need to protect. There's no way we can condone this." Friday's arrest was the second in 14 months for Neagle, who lives in Morrison, along with his wife, their 4-year-old son and twins, who were born two months ago. In October 2003, Neagle was arrested for driving under the influence and pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of driving with impaired ability. The latest arrest came when police said they noticed erratic movements of the vehicle he was driving and pulled him over. Upon questioning, a woman in the vehicle identified as Jill Russell, 40, allegedly told police Neagle paid her $40 for oral sex. According to the police, Neagle admitted he was driving in the area looking for sex. Neagle and agent Barry Meister were not available for comment. Neagle has been sidelined since midway in the 2003 season because of injuries that resulted in his undergoing reconstructive left elbow surgery in July 2003 and surgery to repair a partial tear of his left labrum in June. The Rockies had received insurance premiums to cover half of Neagle's salary because of the injuries and would have been in line for a similar payoff if Neagle had been physically unable to play in 2005. But they forfeited the opportunity by releasing Neagle, who is headed into the final year of a five-year, $51 million contract that included a salary of $10 million for 2005 with a $9 million buyout on a $12.5 million option for 2006. "We don't feel he lived up to his contract and we will get advice on that matter, but that is not why we made the decision we made," Monfort said. "Financially, we feel we deserve (relief from the contract), but we are not expecting that." |

This incident, like the Hugh Grant and a hooker encounter, and the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky linking, can only mean one thing: these guys aren't getting hummers at home.
The three guys mentioned above can surely 'have' about any woman they choose to have hang on their arms (indeed, Hugh Grant was with Elizaberh Hurley [yowza!] at the time he hired Divine Brown), yet look at the comparitively homely appearance of the service ladies.
It's all about the hummers. If Hurley would have ever tried to polish Hugh's knob, she would ... well, Hurl. She said no (or 'ick' or something), Hugh went elsewhere. So did Neagle. So did Clinton.
Ladies, wrap that rascal! And not with a condom. I have just revealed the secret to a faithful relationship. You're welcome.
Go Buccos!

Eugene Robinson fits into the list as well. Getting busted the night before the Super Bowl. The national punchline was with Robinson distracted, the Falcons then "blew" their chance to win the Super Bowl. Rod Smith blew right past him for 80 yards and the Falcons were blown out.
Someone else mentioned to me that they were startled Neagle couldn't find a Rockies "groupie". Heehee..that's crazy talk. A Rockies groupie.
If Neagle were a Bronco (or even a member of the local mulleted striking ice skating team), he could have walked into any bar in Denver and landed a hummer. But being a Rockie? Damn, that's like claiming you're the boom operator for a PBS documentary. That won't score ya' anything.
By the way, ol' Buffallo Bill there is getting its own eStragand.com Value Stamp (#6)
