    I always liked Jon Lieber for some reason. I was at Wrigley for the back to back one hitters from him and Kerry Wood.

    :-s :stickman:

    Wait, are you saying Wade > Irving? No way I'd say that right now. I'd take Love over Bosh too.

    I'll miss it too, but that memory is more from how it looked in the 80s and 90s. It's already changed. As for how it's going to look, if it can as good as the new Fenway and its spruced up block I'll be happy.

    Didn't get to see the game. Did Chip ever say "and there's a LASER"? Also, Mendy Alcantara. That is all.
  7. NOLA
    He's up there. Part of it for me is that the only Cubs gear I would see were THE RIOT shirts because he was a former LSU guy. God I hate LSU fans.
  8. NOLA
    Mendy in CF.

    Least favorite: Todd Hundley Brandt Brown-that fly ball in Milwaukee Ryan Dempster-many reasons Julian Tavares

    Orleans Parrish is green I see.

    I am really starting to get nervous with the stream of good things happening right now. It's sort of indicative of the situation that I feel this way and the big league team lost their last 6 coming into today.
  12. NOLA
    YES!!!

    I loved Dwight Smith. I thought for sure he would have a long solid career as a productive player.The 1989 ROY and runner-up? Jerome Walton and Dwight Smith, IIRC. Has there ever been another case where that has happened with teammates? I thought 1989 was just the beginning of a long run for the Cubs. On a side note, I have started to think even before today that of all the potential stars coming up, Mendy Alcantara may be my favorite for reasons rational and irrational.

    Pam is fine, but I'll take Cheryl/Carol/Charlene any day.

    I started a small catering company about 2 years ago, servicing receptions, movie sets, offices and private dinners. I make a little less money now but it is a welcome departure from my years in the fine dining world. I spent a ton of time as sous or chef de cuisine for Bayona, Iris (Mariza) and Atchafalaya. Susan Spicer at Bayona is the chef upon whom the female chef in Treme was based. I learned a ton but it is nice to actually have a life instead of selling your soul to a kitchen. On that note, if anyone is ever in town and needs a caterer or chef for an event, get in touch. Shameless plug over.

    So are Nate Schierholtz and Dallas Beeler. http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/mlb/players/full/28815.png&w=350&h=254http://www.bleachernation.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/dallas-beeler-cubs-feature-300x225.png

    Stick to your guns Diamond, Miley is smoking hot even if she is obnoxious.

    Well, I had "waiter" in the uniform category too. So, chef would be in that category. Honestly, didn't know we had any actual chefs on here. Cooks, i could see, but not trained chefs. Congrats. Pretty cool job, IMO, that I always wished I had the ability to do. There are perks, but you had better REALLY enjoy cooking or you will be miserable. It is a serious commitment while making [expletive] money for the first several years. I don't love cooking now. But I think it's because I'm not very good at it. I do love the grill, and I'm working on getting better at that. But I love the thought of being responsible for some amazing food at my own restaurant. Bobby Flay may be my hero. I've been cooking professionally for 20 years and in New Orleans for 15. My 2 heroes are Rick Bayless and a much lesser known guy in Bill Smith. OMC may have heard of him since he has MS roots. He brings rural Southern cooking to restaurants with fine dining skill. It's very approachable, unpretentious yet awesome food, done REALLY well. http://www.crookscorner.com/smith.htm

    we already aren't valuing high-end pitchers, though, either in the draft, through free agency, or trades. even if we have the best offense in the national league in 2016 or whatever, we're probably still looking at a kershaw vs scott feldman 4.0 game one, except in your scenario, you're hoping for feldman to get you six or seven good innings. if first round playoff pitching matchups are a concern, you should be against what our front office is doing at present. Outside of the draft, I don't know that we can really judge him on that once we are potentially a real baseball team. Playoff matchups are obviously of no concern right now. This maybe is why they are biding their time with low cost reclamation projects until signing a TOR guy in 2015 or no later than 2016 when we're ready to make a move. Arrietta would start game 1 for now, but I don't want Wood, Jackson then a bunch of guys going up against Greinke or even Ryu, for example. Or Matt Cain for that matter.

    FWIW, I like the system until playoff time, but then it's Game One and we're throwing Wood, Schlitter, Ramirez and Rondon against Clayton Kershaw.
  22. NOLA
    Beeler had better get the same strike zone as this [expletive].

    Happy Mendy Alcantara day. If he wants to be called Mendy then he is Mendy. Step 1 of Wave 1 commencing... for 2 days anyway.
  24. NOLA
    Yeah, my kitchen is inspected for me to run my catering there, so sometimes I wear pj bottoms. Self employment has its advantages. I only wear the coat if meeting with potential clients.
  25. NOLA
    Um, I wear houndstooth chef pants, black chef coat and rubber clogs. I guess the closest thing is in the janitor category?
