Each year, Esquire magazine food writer John Mariani calls out a score of eateries on his annual list of the "Best New Restaurants in America." This year the biggest award went to The Optimist — Ford Fry's West Midtown seafood restaurant, which opened to good reviews and brisk business this summer.
Citing it as the "Restaurant of the Year," Mariani writes:
"A soaring, convivial spot, the Optimist has a hip oyster bar shaped like a surfboard, a first-rate cocktail program, and seafood cooked with old-school expertise over a wood fire. Though everyone knew chef Ford Fry's new place would be a big deal, the Optimist is far more than a resounding local success; it is an overnight totem of all that is wonderful about American food today."
The Optimist's chef is Adam Evans.
In his discussion of the year's big trends, Mariani writes "the South is having a moment," and he includes The Macintosh and Carter's Kitchen in Charleston as well as The Southern Steak & Oyster in Nashville among the year's best.
Mariani, who has been writing about restaurants for more than 35 years, has been accused of breaches in his ethics policy by chefs and other food writers, accusations over which he got into a memorable tussle with Anthony Bourdain on this blog.

Good for Atlanta for getting a nod but The Optimist is too loud and over priced. I think we have far better new restaurants in town that could've been featured.

I've been three times for lunch in the past two months. It's a good restaurant, but if this is the restaurant of the year then it must have had some really piss poor competition. I've never had an issue with service, the food is good, and it has a nice atmosphere. Prices aren't cheap, about what you would expect to pay at a quality seafood restaurant.

44 years of "Atlantan" in my bones; however, I've recently moved away from the Chocolate City (thank god), and I've never heard of WEST MIDTOWN??
Is this yet another attempt to cloak a minority-influence, high-crime low-property-value area in "class"? Hilarious.
Tantamont to addresses in SMYRNA or DUNWOODY now trying to claim they are in "Vinings" or "Buckhead".

Nice but too loud to be as pricy as it is. Needs some soundproofing. Sounds like a cacaphony of clangin' and bangin' dishes over drunks hollerin' at each other most of the time.

If it's as loud as SP and Sal state, count me out.

I'm glad that Atlanta is on the map with a good food eatery..although I think there are so many more that they could have chosen. However, the food there is really good IF and thats a big if, you can take the noise and don't mind screaming across the table at your dinner mate. But good seafood in this area is really hard to find.

@Fully Employed – My husband owns a heating and cooling company. He also has a master's degree in electrical engineering. I'm a writer. Your comments came off as more than a little snobbish. Paying for dinner at a place like The Optimist wouldn't really change our world, nor would it impact our ability to pay for our house on St. Simons Island.Or any of the others we own. People are silly.
October 5th, 2012

I am assuming the moderator is deleting comments based on the non-sequitors.
Anyway, I just wanted to say something (that apparently was already said and deleted).
1. If you can't afford it just go to Applebees and use a coupon. It's not "overpriced" if people happily go there and pay for it. Sometimes prices reflect cost and sometimes they reflect a desire to keep out riff-raff. I think there is value on both formulae.
2. I hope the notoriety does not cause a bunch of fatties to go here for the food. The food is not that great. It is good and it is novel. The drinks are actually very good and the place is hip. So if you love french fries and hate exercising go somewhere else so we don;t have to walk around you when we go to the bathroom.

@I'm Lost … Nice try at race baiting, smart ones hopefully won't fall for it. Atlanta won't make everyone happy as neither would New York or LA. The sooner people like you relocate, the better. Chocolate CIty? So what would a minority call any city in Montana or Wyoming…Sounds pretty childish doesn't it??
October 5th, 2012
3:12 pm
Also, to "I'm Lost," West Midtown has been the cute name for Howell Mill/Marietta/14th Street corridor running from Homepark to Chatahoochee for about the last five or six years.
It's basically the White Provisions building and everything west of there.
I live in West End and when I try to tell people where I live they get confused and say oh yeah Castleberry Hill even though I just told them pretty much exactly where I live.
I suspect you are one of those people. Happily "lost," probably always looking for excuses to cover the fact that you're just not that smart.
October 5th, 2012
3:15 pm
So what would a minority call any city in Montana or Wyoming…? Republican, because they are all white.
I agree, Chocolate City has a case of white flight. Thankfully, I am heading to Montana soon.

I love Fry's other restaurants, JCT and No. 246, but for me, The Optimist just misses the mark. The space is gorgeous, as are all his restaurants. The quality and the creativity of the dishes don't match the high menu prices.
October 5th, 2012
3:20 pm
Its interesting that Kessler only rated the Optimist with 3 stars, but Mariani found it to be the Best New Restaurant in the country. Give me a brake!

New Orleans is the "Chocolate City."
If you are referring to Atlanta by that name, you are really annoying and misinformed.
October 5th, 2012

@Deletedcatessen Or maybe they just don't care about the dumb, made-up neighborhood names people come up with in this city.

I love seafood, and this is THE place to go in Atlanta for seafood, great food, great drinks, great atmosphere. Restaurants are often lively and loud. If you want a quiet, romantic place, go there. The Optimist is fun and it rocks.

Mary Brewster is calling someone snobbish then popping off about her real estate holdings. I'm pretty sure she's held a lot more than that in her day…

Personally I think 6 Feet Under (1 block away) has great seafood for about 1/5 the price. Plus the Optimist charges $4.50 for a 12oz. Miller High Life. The main reason I avoid this place is because of all of the flimsy chicks trying to scam a free dinner for a quick hookup at their condos next door.

Delta Ready,
You haven't been paying to the census data & the City of Atlanta population trends of the past 2 decades have you?
The flight out of the city is now largely black & the movement in is now largely white. The projections are that the present minority/majority status roles will more than likely be reversed by the time of the next census count in 2020.
Now can we get back to discussing the restaurant scene?
October 5th, 2012
3:54 pm
I thought this was a restaurant commentary, how did the topic turn to race, socio-economic status and politics? Everybody eats, right?
Anyway… As someone who is a quasi foodie always looking for a new experience, I took a look at the menus and they look appealing and resonably priced for the offerings. I may just give it a whirl. I just hope the recognition from the article doesn't turn it into one of those places with a 6 hour wait or require a $1200 deposit to make a reservation. Does anyone else here remember BED?

I have a sense of humor almost as large as my love of food, and I think this blog and its occupants are definitely worth the price of admission.

I like No. 246, but I find Optimist to be too uncomfortable. Surely some restaurant designers could investigate how to ameliorate the noise levels in their grand creations? As someone else mentioned, I'd rather go down the street to Six Feet Under where I can get equally good food for much less money and a more comfortable setting.
October 5th, 2012
4:24 pm
It is good to see the Atlanta (Westside) food scene get some props. If you haven't noticed, over the past few years, scores of GREAT restaurants have opened. Some are great due to celebrity chefs (that makes a good place great apparently- ie ESS, anything with Richard Blaise involved), while others just churn out tasty consisent food day in and day out (Miller Union, SEED). I went to The Optimist the other day and really enjoyed it. I thought it was one of the better new places (The new Watershed on Peachtree is still my new Fav).

Atlanta isn't bad. No worse than cities like Cincinnati or Saint Loius. Maybe a cut above Tampa if you don't like the ocean or beach.
October 5th, 2012

Not Bad- did you mention Tampa? I guess Tampa's "not bad" if you like chains. Atlanta has a bit of everything. Tampa may have the best steakhouse, but that is about all.

a) Who really cares what a "food critic" thinks?

c) Feel free to respond to me, but know that I probably won't read it
October 5th, 2012

I still love Steamhouse! Counting the days until Oysterfest 2013!
October 5th, 2012
5:27 pm
I don't know Mary Brewster (and really don't care to), but with only seeing one side of the conversation that she is having is rather difficult to follow. What I surmised was that someone inquired as to what the word "snobbish" meant, and she gave some perfect examples of how she herself is snobbish. Adults learn better this way, so thank you.
@frank: You mean give me a "break." Unless your car is failing, of course.

Deletedcatessan, you probably call The Tabernacle "The Tabby". And who is misinformed, lost and pathetic? I've lived here for twenty years, and your trite "colloquialisms" just suck. We all know where we live.
October 5th, 2012
6:24 pm
I've only been to one of the other restaurants that were in contention, but based on that, I can vouch that Mariani doesn't know what he's talking about. The Macintosh just blows the Optimist away. Infinitely cooler atmosphere. A bar that shows the Optimist's to be just a pretender (Optimist–the weakest Manhattan I've had in years, Macintosh–The Mac-hattan: Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Vya Sweet Vermouth, Bitter Truth and Peychaud's bitters, served ON TAP!! Come on, how cool is that?). The Deckle steak. The Pecorino truffle frite. Clammer Dave's clams. It's honest and quirky to the Optimist's corporate.
Clearly Mariani got a bigger freebie meal from Fry than from Jeremiah Bacon. He's irrelevant and so is his review.
October 5th, 2012
6:54 pm
@ Deletedcatessen, any metropolitan U.S. city with a majority African-American population is coined a "Chocolate City." That moniker doesn't just apply to one.
October 5th, 2012
7:32 pm
Will somebody, anybody tell me what the hell does any topic that Atlantans comment on here, be it food, art, music, math, money, dogs, cats, turtles, gerbles, snakes, scorpions, leaves, grass, the sun, the sky, the solar system, our galaxy, or Adam and Eve, leads to someone bashing Atlanta's black residents? Black may have an affixiation regarding skin pigmentation primarily because historically the issue of race has often come down on them(in the South) like a ton of bricks. What's the excuse of others who do not share that history?
October 5th, 2012

If I want great seafood at reasonable prices, Atlanta Fish Market on Pharr Road still sets the standard for Atlanta dining.
October 5th, 2012

Ford Fry also started the restaurant called No. 246 in Decatur…awesome eats
October 6th, 2012

The Optimist is good but the Atlanta Fish Market has a more robust selection of seafood every bit as fresh.
October 7th, 2012

Can anyone suggest a place to get good, safe peel and eat shrimp for less than the $24 per pound charged at the Optimist?
October 8th, 2012
7:03 am
Are you curious about the bitterness of human nature when they see another have success? Just read the comments section in the food blog…
Congratulations to the Optimist – beautiful restaurant and I enjoyed my lobstah roll the one time I ate there. It was as good as you get in Maine and better than the famed Mary's Fish Camp and about $20.00 less… Glad to see entrepreneurs investing and doing well in West Midtown – it has changed drastically for the better since 2000.
October 8th, 2012
10:52 am
Been to The Optimist. They served some wonderful stone crab claws but failed to bring anything to put the shells in. Then they brought sides for the table to share but failed to provide serving pieces. Was I supposed to use my dinner fork to serve myself the field peas before passing the dish to a dinner companion?
October 8th, 2012
11:45 am
@Truly Confused… I remember BED. I laughed when I tried to make a reservation and they told me the stipulations. I couldn't beleive they were serious. I guess the city of Atlanta had the last laugh in the end.
October 8th, 2012

@ #1 FOXY LADY…thanks, I needed that laugh. Costco hot dogs are good…..

Perhaps congratulating a business built for the locals by a local and not a chain would be a good start. To hijack a review and turn it into a soapbox is a waste.
Great job guys – congratulations.
October 8th, 2012
11:32 pm
This is why I don't read Yelp reviews, most of "you people" have no idea what the hell you are talking about. I am 32 years of age and I find most of my generation a bunch of spoiled brats that pick knits over moronic things. Wah..parking was valet only, wah…it was loud. The fact is, y'all have no damn idea what the hell you're talking about. So go back to your kick ball leagues and stfu.
October 11th, 2012

The optimist is a lovely space, the staff is cute and sometimes friendly, the food is really average and totally inconsistent but then again,..so is the food and service at all of his restaurants. Ford is lucky and must have a heap of cash backing him? Funny to see so many places like this, trendy, tragically hip and full of hype arrive and fade away. Time will tell if this place lasts and has staying power. The best restaurants that embrace full service are built and thoughtfully conceived with longevity in mind. The optimist feels like a quick romance and id bet lacks the integrity and richness to make the long haul. The esquire award the past few years is showing its weakness. Like a guy with a severe midlife crisis, John Mariani has blown his wad and just opted for Miley Cyrus in a red corvette over Catherine Deneuve in a Deusenberg. Let the laurels lay down on Broadway …then let's see if the optimist has a bullet proof soul and the fishermen that can weather the storm.

A hand-tinted look at the portable stocks known by Westerners as cangues
A 'cangue' is a type of portable torture device that was often used for forms of corporal punishment in old China. Unlike the Western equivalent, known as the stocks, cangues could be carried around. This ensured that the victim's humiliation was as public as it could be. The device consisted of two large, flat boards, which were fitted around the individual's neck. Often, the prisoner couldn't reach their own mouth and had to rely on others for food. And making sure their shame was complete, their name, address, and the nature of their crimes were written on a label and stuck to the boards.
As for the person in the box in the left of the photograph, we'll explore the form of torture depicted a bit later.

Free agent forward Owen Nolan has agreed to a two year deal with the Minnesota Wild worth $2.75 million a season.
Nolan, 36, recorded 32 points and 71 penalty minutes in 77 games with the Calgary Flames in 2007-08.
"Owen Nolan is a true power winger who can score goals, play a physical brand, play either wing and take face-offs," Wild president and general manager Doug Risebrough said in a statement. "We are excited to add a player of his experience and versatility."
The 16-year veteran, taken first overall by the Quebec Nordiques in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft, is a five-time NHL All-Star (1992, 1996, 1997, 2000 and 2002) and has collected 807 points and 1,727 PIM in 1,068 career matches with Quebec, Colorado, San Jose, Toronto, Phoenix and Calgary.
The Wild also signed goalie Barry Brust to a multiyear contract and right wing Jesse Schultz to a one-year deal on Sunday.

ATLANTA (WDRB) – Today the Kevin Ware Story changes. Today the Kevin Ware Story becomes a basketball story.
Today we discover if the University of Louisville basketball team can press and harass and pressure and score and dictate without Kevin Ware as well as the Cardinals have done all those things with Ware delivering as the team's best backcourt substitute during their current 14-game winning streak.
Today Louisville plays Wichita State at 6:09 p.m. in the first national semifinal at the Georgia Dome.
Who takes Kevin Ware's spot?
Ware will certainly remain a focus of the pre-game coverage but he can only help the Cardinals by cheering and making suggestions from the bench today. The compound fracture that Ware suffered to his right leg last Sunday in Indianapolis makes Ware a spectator this weekend.
Louisville survived nicely without Ware over the final 26-plus minutes of its Midwest Regional final victory against Duke. Now Rick Pitino has had six days to determine who will fill the nearly 17 productive minutes per game that Ware has been averaging during the Cardinals' winning streak.
Pitino said that junior Tim Henderson will get his opportunity. Many expect Pitino to sub Henderson for Russ Smith or Peyton Siva about a minute before the extended breaks for TV timeouts. Pitino will try to arrange more rest for his starting guards. Smith (31.3 per game) has logged major minutes in the tournament, more than any Cardinal player. Siva has played less – 27.5 – because of foul trouble.
Does Ware's absence increase the pressure on Siva, Smith and the Cards' other ball-handlers?
"I don't feel so," Siva said. "I think Tim Henderson, I think Luke playing more, too, they're more than capable guys of, you know, playing the role.
"Tim Henderson, a lot of people talk about he's a walk‑on, everything, but he's been guarding Russ Smith the whole year. I feel like he can come in and spell anybody. If you guard Russ Smith the whole year, you can pretty much guard anybody, especially in practice."
Nobody should expect Henderson to do what Ware has done. That's unfair and unrealistic. They're not the same player.
Check the numbers.
During the Cards' 14-game winning streak, Ware has averaged 16.9 minutes, making 25 of 56 shots, 8 of 19 three-pointers and 18 of 25 free throws. Ware has 29 rebounds, 19 steals and 76 points. If Ware played full-time, he'd average double figures.
During the same period, Henderson has played 29 total minutes. He's made one of five shots, a three-pointer against Duke. Henderson has three points, no steals and three rebounds. His strengths are defending and protecting the basketball.
So look for Pitino to split Ware's minutes between Henderson, Wayne Blackshear, Luke Hancock and Chane Behanan. The coach will have to mix and match his lineups, creating ways to keep Smith and Siva fresh.

- RamOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/27/2014Good service food so so. 1905 salad was much better at Ybor. Their salad was overspiced and on the hot side. Very noisy atmosphere! We were dining in a group celebrating three of our ladies birthdays. No special attention was given by the restaurant.Special Features:
- NEVER A DISAPPOINTMENTSpudsyDined on 9/21/2014No matter how many times we eat at the Columbia, it is always great and never disappoints. The biggest problem is trying to choose a dish as everything always sounds so amazing. Cannot wait to come back again soon to try something else.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MikeMikeDined on 9/13/2014Best food anywhere , I have eaten at 4 columbia restaurants and they are always fantastic , lunch or dinner!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always the very best and affordablejimboDined on 9/13/2014Using OpenTable we were seated promptly on a very busy afternoon. Love the combo of OpenTable/ColumbiaSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedCnnieDined on 9/7/2014Have had better Cuban meals in Miami dives. This restaurant is believing it's own hype and riding on the St Armand's circle wave. If the others in this local chain are serving the same middling to poor food they won't be open long. The white sangria and caffe leche was very good
- You can not go wrong, ever.honestreviewsDined on 9/4/2014There is really no way that you could wrong with the Columbia. Great service and food. Take some time to look into the history of the restaurant as it is immense and charming all at the same time. The 1905 salad with the shrimp is amazing and is something you must eat to be able to truly say that you experienced this gem of dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Tradition ContinuesRicTDined on 9/2/2014The Columbia restaurant in Sarasota continues the rich tradition of the Tampa restaurant. As a native of Tampa myself, I know the heritage well. The food is incredible and the service and atmosphere are wonderful.Special Features:
- TravelingEngineerDined on 8/31/2014Excellent food, great atmosphere and wonderful service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/31/2014Nice tapas choices but langoustine flatbread came out cold. Cup of chick pea soup was very salty as was the house salad. My husband's paella was average. The saving graces if the evening-Barry's service and the nicely chilled bottle of Albarino.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- taraDined on 8/30/2014Alway an amazing meal! Went with a large party, and eeryone loed the food. My faorite is the white sangria.Special Features:
- A Tradition!LadyDiDined on 8/23/2014Authentic Spanish food in a vibrant neighborhood setting. The best salad and Mojitos hands down in the Sarasota area. It is always a family favorite anticipated meal while visiting the white sandy beach of Siesta Key for over 30 years!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Completely satisfiedLove2watchDined on 8/23/2014always love the experience. Never disappoints. The ambiance love watching the sidewalk show. In the middle of the action.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Weekend LunchptycakesDined on 8/23/2014Food was excellent as always, seated on the sidewalk tables outside and extremely hot and noisy. Would not be seated there again. Service was ok, waiter didn't really seem that interested or talkative. Not the best service I've ever had there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Columbia St.Armands CircleInsgalDined on 8/21/2014Reservation made to celebrate my husband's birthday with family in Sarasota, table was ready and the food and serve was wonderful, would definitely recommendSpecial Features:
- Good family experienceKonaDined on 8/21/2014Our waiter was very nice and attentive. We dined at 6:30pm and noticed that there were several other families with children in our section. They seem very in tune with making it easy to dine with children. The mojitos and sangria were good. We had a selection of tapas most of which we liked. The key lime pie was very good. We had a good experience.Special Features:
- Lunch at ColumbiaKateDined on 8/19/2014Lunch at the Sarasota Columbia is such a nice break from the daily work stress. Great food. Great location.Special Features:
- Spanish excellenceJimDDined on 8/16/2014Drinks should include either mojitos or sangria - both are excellent. Start with their fabulous "1905" salad, made at your table. That evening we then shared the Tapeo sampler of three tapas choices - ours included stuffed mushrooms, fried calamari and crab cakes on a three-tiered platter. If you like roast pork, the Columbia is the place to get it. We always look forward to dining here!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ColumbiaLovinglifeDined on 8/14/2014Great restaurant and a great time. Pick a dish, you can not go wrong.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PopaPopaDined on 8/13/2014First visit to this location. Food was excellent as usual. Food was served timely and hot, however our waiter seemed like he was trying out for the theater. Also his unsolicited recommendations were simply the most expensive in each category.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food Nice AtmosphereFrequentDinerDined on 8/10/2014Went to Columbia restaurant to celebrate a special Birthday for my sister-in-law. Upon Check-in I told the young man who checked us in that it was my sister-in-laws birthday and would he let our server know. He said he would. After being seated our waitress showed up shortly. She was very good, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The ambiance was nice, the food was good but there was no mention to my sister-in-law about her birthday. I assumed the waitress was never informed, like I asked. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I would go there again next time I'm in Sarasota. Just disappointed when I detect incompetence.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely placeDineawayDined on 8/10/2014The good was wonderful....some of best I've ever had.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bad serviceBlborlandoDined on 8/9/2014We were an after thought for our server. She seemed annoyed to even be waiting on us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- walked outal1234Dined on 8/9/2014waitied a half hour to get sat. Kept being put off. walked out. Restaurant was too busy and chaotic.
- Very PopularCarmNYC14Dined on 8/8/2014Great spanish/cuban food. Service was outstanding. The warm cuban bread was so good you'll want to eat it all but leave room for dinner. Talk to your waiter for food recommendations they will steer you in the right direction. The empanadas were fantastic as well as the mojitos.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 8/8/2014The food was great, but the service was mediocre. Although we had a reservation, the 3 very young employees at the hostess stand stood around talking for 10 minutes before bothering to seat us. Then after geting the worst table in the restaurant (right ouside the kitchen), we asked to be moved. Midway through dinner (we were a party of 3 seated at a 4 top) a female server asked me to remove my purse and my son's iPad from the 4th chair, b/c she needed it for someone else. I said "Dont' you have other charis in the restuarant? Our stuff is on the chair. She responded "I need to take care fo this other customer and tok teh chair." Incredibly rude!Special Features:
- Great Lunch!!NorthernGirlDined on 8/5/2014Our first trip to the Columbia Restaurant - our Tampa family love this place. We visited recently from the UK and fell in love with Sarasota and the fab food at the Columbia. Not to mention the great service and the best Sangria on the planet!! Recommend this to everyone - the menu is huge and there is definitely something for everyone!! We will be back!Special Features:
- Dining at the Columbia is YUM!2diningdamesDined on 8/2/2014The Columbia is a fabulous Cuban restaurant located in St Armand's Circle in Sarasota. The patio is my favorite place to have a meal, it opens onto the sidewalk dining area, but is still under a/c which is a big advantage in our hot Florida weather. My favorite dining choice is the Cuban sandwich accompanied by a 1905 salad that is mixed table side. My companion and I ordered full portions of each and split it between us. Plenty of food, so much so that along with the crunchy hot Cuban bread that is served, we had no room for the amazing desserts....next time! The red sangria is delicious, but try the white sangria-amazing! Our total bill for two was only $27.00! What a deal for such a delicious meal I highly recommend the Columbia!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TheresaVIPDined on 7/28/2014Wonderful dinner!! 1905 Salad is delicious every time I eat it. And the Sangrias are definitely worth getting a pitcher:)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Too hotJoeMVIPDined on 7/26/2014Food was great as always. The temperature on the restaurant was way too warm. We asked the manager if he could make it cooler. He said he would take care of it but he never went near the thermostat. It was so warm we asked for the check because it was too uncomfortable to stay for dessert and coffee.
- Ask for a table on the left side!FoodieMamaDined on 7/24/2014My husband and I went here with another couple on a Thursday night in mid July. I am glad we made reservations, as there was a 2 hour wait for those who didn't. We were seated next to a closed windowed area with a nice view of St. Armand's. We loved our waiter, our sangria (made for us at the table), and our food; We, however, did not love the heat. We fanned ourselves with the menus, but after our orders were taken (and our menus) we were all dripping with sweat. The heat from the kitchen was sweltering! We quickly switched from sangria to ice water just to cool down. I visited the restroom on the other side of the restaurant (to avoid passing out) and it was at least 10 degrees cooler. Great restaurant, but needs fans near the kitchen!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/23/2014Always put this at the top of my list when on St. ArmandsSpecial Features:
- Excellent!masumeDined on 7/19/2014The food and service were excellent. The settings and ambiance was fantastic as well. We will be back and have recommended it to several friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- How disappointingCayasmomDined on 7/19/2014We are from tampa and expected the same experience at the Sarasota location. Alas, not to be...from. flies in the dining room, sales people from a nearby retailer ( fox.y lady) coming table side to show you their wares, it was not the classy experience I had hoped for. The mojo chicken sandwich was bland, the Cuban soggy, and truly unappetizing. How sad:(
- NoFoodieButHardToPleaseDined on 7/18/2014All the Columbia restaurants are clean, well decorated, and offer a unique dining experience. I love the cloth table linens, well dressed and attentive wait staff, and the overall atmosphere. The menu is limited, but everything on it is authentic and delicious. It is our favorite restaurant in Sarasota. can't wait to try the one in St Augustine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- first time hereSabrinaDined on 7/16/2014We have been in Sarasota for a year and this was the first time we went to Columbia- but it will not be the last! The menu was great, the food was delicious, and there was something for everyone on the menu. The place was jammed even for the summer and I can see why. I had the black bean soup which was to die for, and the 1910 salad - which is prepared table side and big enough for a large party to share. We want to try so many other things on the menu, we will have to make this one of our go- places to dine.Special Features:
- DisappointedMeridianDined on 7/12/2014Pros: Prompt - We made a reservation and were seated promptly. Tapas - We had the Stuffed Mushrooms and the Pork Ribs. They were excellent. Sangria - We bought a pitcher of the Red and it was delicious. Steaks - My wife had the Filet and my son had the NY Strip. Both were well prepared. Waiter - He was funny, informative and attentive. Cons: Seating - Some of the most uncomfortable seats I've ever spent an hour and a half on. Temperature - The right side of the restaurant was very hot. The left side was nice and cool. Paella - I and my friends ordered the Paella A la Valenciana. It was quite oily, salty and bland. There was little variation in taste from pork to chicken to shrimp. None of us finished and we regretted not ordering steaks.
- ExcellentGreateatingDined on 7/7/2014Excellent food Even a salad is always a special treatSpecial Features:
- Great Fun Food AmbienceGrammyMusicProducer1Dined on 7/5/2014Like OLD Cuba or as one would imagine Cuba. The food was very good, the waiter did a great job. The Pork Cubano was excellent as were the Cuban bread, fresh butter. The dessert was chocolate cake and too big for one person. I like Tampa the original but this is much closer to where I spend time. Worth the money.Special Features:
- Pew1Dined on 6/27/2014Fair food. Tapas excellent though Cuban and black bean soup missed. Mojitos too sweet/lack seltzer. Bread perfectSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- They forgot my Mom's BirthdayLolaDined on 6/22/2014I made this reservation explaining that this was my Mom's 70th birthday lunch. I expected them to do something (bring out a special dessert or something), but instead, they completely ignored it. My Mom was very disappointed which broke my heart.Special Features:

Lowdown Hc
Very nice shoes at great price..order my 2nd pair because of the big discount..warm,confortable,nice desing
good shoe it keeps the snow out except for the vent holes on the side but that was a nothing ducktape on the inside couldnt fix. durable and styly.
I liked the shoes when I bought them and I was able to get my regular size. They came in a lot of colors which was cool. But like someone else said, if you have flat feet they can hurt a little bit, I was able to get used to it after a while.
I love these shoes. Since I have a wider foot it is hard to find a company that makes a shoe that fits my foot. These Gravis Lockdowns are great. Not only do they fit correctly but the design is awesome. Its never to late to enjoy the younger side of life and these are my kid time awesome shoes. The materials seem good quality too. I wear these all the time now and they show minimal wear...and thank goodness no tears. I'd highly recommend these. Good shoes at a great price, what else could you ask for?
Comes with two laces, one light blue and one black. The baby blue is awesome and the fit is comfortable.
Gravis is the footwear brand of burton and as we know burton is the the oldest and the best snowboard brand! This shoe is high top so it protect skateboarders ankes! There was a problem with the latest series of this shoes but the designers resolved this problem! There was very slim leather layer on the side of the shoefloor and it came off after a couple of use!
i would recommend it to everyone who likes snowbaording and skateboarding!
So i got these shoes a couple months ago when they were $24. I was a bit skeptical about high tops, but once i got these shoes i fell in love with them. I feel like a boxer when i wear them and they have great support,There is great ankle support that has yet to give way and i love skating in these shoes.
The only con, is that you have to unlace the top 2 holes each time to slide your foot in nicely otherwise you get a little sketched out thinking something will tear.
Other than that great shoes id recommend them to anyone.
These shoes were ok, not much positives or negatives. They do their job but eventually tore at the toes.
I got a couple pairs of these because they were on sale and they are a great shoe for the price i paid. the are comfortable and they have plenty of colours to choose from. I think they run a bit bigger than most skate shoes like DC and Globe but i dont wear them skating so it doesnt really matter.
I have flat feet so the raised arch gives me blister. Do not buy these if you have flat feet.
These shoes are very cool looking the high tops are awesome and the blue green colour really stands out, the sole offers almost no grip in the wet or on ice i dont think their meant as a snow shoe though so i can forgive that, very good shoe i love them.
The liberty color is sweet, google shopping search it for better pictures, people always ask me if I like the Lakers now. I don't. Other than that the shoes are decent, fit true to size. They are not super comfortable and provide little support in the arch, they are basically slip on shoes with high tops added on.
Got them in a US 9 and fit my feet pretty much exactly. Got little ridges for toes on the inside too. The grip is pretty much non-existent on these though, so walking on ice is a bit difficult.
great fit and great feel. got these in size US9 and they fit perfectly
Just bought and received them today. Unfortunately they mixed the sizes up and I got 2 right footed shoes!!!!!! soo frustrating because the right foot felt so good. hopefully I'll send them back and get the left foot with the right sizing and be happy. but until then I'm well pissed off!!!
i wear these shoes to the mountain every timer i go cause they're high tops and keep my feet and ankles dry and happy. the only con about these shoes is that the two vent holes on the inside of the foot let in snow and water in the winter(although they're very nice to help vent the she in the summer), so i fixed the problem by putting a piece of duct tape on the inside of the shoe to cover the holes in the winter. then take the tape off for the summer months. the other slight con for the winter is that the sole of this shoe has almost no traction at all, so walk carefully in the snow with these. although the boombox pattern on the sole looks cool. overall a great shoe that is super durable, but lacks traction in the winter. still they're my favorite shoes to get from my car to the lodge.

So its been a day since we first got our eyeballs on the Cali-themed GTA V trailer, and like most humans with an Xbox and a sole, we're pretty stoked to spend a few weeks gaining weight while engrossed in Rockstar's fractured take on Lala Land. And the best thing about the trailer? The way it reminds us of our favorite thing about the GTA series--its kick-ass social commentary.
GTA IV relished in poking fun at all that makes New York (and, yeah, New Jersey) great: From our (yep: Maxim's based in NYC) diseased flying rats, to our often-unjustifiable sense of exceptionalism (we're only the best thing the planet has ever seen most of the time).
And GTA V? Well, if the trailer is any indication, its scope will be pointed squarely at the economy.
After an initial brush with the more glamorous side LA life, the trailer quickly fades into a montage of bums, street urchins, and other signs of economic decay. If Rockstar is smart (and they are), they'll make the recession and its drip-slow recovery the major themes. And hey, it could even be the reason the narrator needs to get back into robbin'-and-killin' the game. After all, in tough economic times, a life of crime seems a whole lot more appealing. And such a topical storyline would do much to solidify Rockstar and GTA as the premiere satirists of the video game world.

On the heels of a disappointing loss in Detroit, the Atlanta Hawks return home to play the Toronto Raptors Wednesday night, with the New York Knicks due in town on Friday. What's the proper reaction to losing on the road to a team you should have beaten? Why, you go home and take it out on the next team! Since the Hawks have yet to play the Raptors this season, we'll go through the usual motions, while the Knicks will get less of a mention.
What you might remember
Game 4 of the 2008-2009 season was the fateful game in which Josh Smith incurred that high ankle sprain, which kept him out twelve games, and helped derail a good start for the Hawks. Yet, the Hawks won that game, and two more of the four games in which they played Toronto. I'll tell you what Toronto remembers (besides losing three of four to the Hawks): Mike Bibby. Why? Well, Bibby averaged over 20 points against the Raptors in the first three meetings. In the fourth one, he managed a "paltry" 13 points, 10 assists, and 6 rebounds. On the other hand, the Hawks remember Chris Bosh quite well. Bosh is a 20 and 10 waiting to happen on most nights, and it hasn't been much different against the Hawks. At any rate, both teams come into this game having lost in their last contest. For the Hawks, it was a loss to a lesser team, right after beating a team on the road. For the Raptors, it's the opportunity to break a four game losing streak and beat a quality opponent, something they have done arguably only once this season (against Miami, November 20th).
Both teams will presenting somewhat new looks than they did last year, though Toronto has made more significant changes. But who will show up hungrier?
These Guys Might Be Trouble
Let's see if I can get this without accidentally naming people who are on the IR….
Toronto lacks seriously in the categories of defense and toughness. Losing trade acquisition Reggie Evans to injury only made that worse. What they DO have in abundance however, is tall guys that can shoot.
Hedo Turkoglu has been less impressive in Toronto than he was in Orlando, but that tells you how important fit is, and how long chemistry can take to form properly. Nevertheless, Turkoglu can handle the ball and facilitate any time it's needed. In addition, he can shoot the long ball. Tall players who have long distance range are always a problem for the Hawks. Turkoglu is no exception. If the Hawks let him get hot or simply give him too many open looks, he is going to hurt them.
Andrea Bargnani is no stranger to the arc himself, and like Turkoglu, he's shooting better than 40% from deep. The 7-foot pivot man prefers to do more of his damage from the outside than the inside, but he can make a couple of moves towards the basket. He's averaging over 17 points a game, and shoots a healthy 48% from the field, despite all of those 3-pointers. Never to be confused with a "true" post player (particularly with a middling 6.4 rpg), Bargnani does get a tad more than a block a game, and is automatic at the free throw line.
Finally, there is Bosh, who appears to have worked on his body this offseason. Bosh looks stronger than I've ever seen him. As it stands right now, he is leading the league in double-doubles. You can never ignore a guy who brings 25 and 12 to the table, and despite all the losing, the Raptor forward is playing as well (if not better) than anybody who belongs to the heralded free agent class of 2010. If Bosh starts strong and his teammates begin to play well off of him, the Hawks could be in for a long night.
There's always one guy that you forget about. It's that one guy who either comes in and has a really big game against you, or simply just makes enough of the right plays, at the right times, to throw you off your gameplan. That guy, in THIS contest, could be Marco Belinelli. He's not another 6′10 or taller shooter, but he IS another guy who is doing better than 40% from 3-point range. He's a backup that plays just shy of 20 minutes per game, and yet another guy who can get hot from deep.
Last Time Out…
Al Horford and Josh Smith pounded the Knicks for a combined 47 points and 21 rebounds enroute to a 13-point victory in Madison Square Garden. Nate Robinson and Darko Milicic were out with injury, and Jeff Teague had the same amount of playing time as New York rookie Jordan Hill (1:34). Meanwhile Toney Douglas made us look silly, and Al Harrington showed out like it was his birthday. Long story short, the game was closer than the score stated, and closer than it should have been.
What about this time?
Should the Hawks pound the ball inside against the Knicks like they did before? Will the Knicks make a game of it, or will the Hawks beat them like the inferior team that they are? Who are the key guys in this game for both teams? Is Toney Douglas for real, and what about lottery pick Jordan Hill? Can Jeff Teague get some quality minutes in this contest?
See ya around 7 p.m. tomorrow evening, if you're not at the game with a laptop!

I hope they are refocused like they are saying. Just watching the last few games, its obvious the focus has not been there for 48mins. Get it back on track and lets keep the early momentum that we have established. Everybody has bad losses. The T-wolves won in Denver. Suns got blasted by the Knicks. Stuff happens.

Our atlanta hawks can beat this 2 teams easily as long as Woody will give the bench more minutes especially jeff teague..and please dont let Joe Johnson take those fade away jumper when he's struggling, I'm a JJ fan but i cant take it watchin him making poor decision.Use the pick and roll a lot more with Mike Bibby and Horford or J-Smoove because they are lethal with that play.Minimize isolation plays and move the ball around..I'm tellin you Woody our bench can win this games alone.We have a better bench now why not maximize that opportunity.

The Knicks went the hell off on the Suns tonight…don't think that Harrington won't come in here and drill a bunch of threes…Toronto's much improved but I'm more worried about the Knicks being another trap game.
December 2nd, 2009
9:40 am
Joe Johnson is shooting roughly 35% in the last 5 games or so. He's due for a breakout game sometime…or so we hope.
December 2nd, 2009
10:42 am
Hawk n the Ham is making the drive from the 'Ham to ATL for tonight's game. I can't wait, 1st game of the year for me at the highlight factory.
Tonight is going to be a big night for J Smoove. He has to control Bosh, because if you have to 2-team him you've got those big shooters waiting on the wings for the dump out. Like you said Ray, big shooters.
December 2nd, 2009
10:50 am
Good job. Nice article.
I'm sorry to miss seeing Josh / Bosh (I'll be at the Tech / Sienna game).
Both guys playing as well as they ever have, and will be head to head most of the time. Let's see how well Josh rebounds.
And if Joe DOESN'T have a breakout, we'll need at least two other players to step up.

Since Toronto and New York are perimeter-oriented teams, Coach Woodson's offensive game plan should call for heavy doses Al Horford and Josh Smith in the paint against them.
Underdog teams overachieving to beat a heavily favored oppponent happens–like the Giants in the Super Bowl against the 18-0 Patriots–provides the drama that makes sports so compelling. So an undermanned Detroit team beat the Hawks on Sunday. So what–it isn't a big deal.
Quick random thoughts:
Condolences to Josh Childress on the loss of his father!
This team misses the energy and intangibles Childress brings to the court much more than GM Sund realizes.
Joe Johnson wouldn't be the first athlete to struggle when trying to prove he deserves a major/max contract when he becomes a free agent.
Marvin Williams isn't the first athlete to struggle when trying to prove he is worthy of the major contract signed before the start of the season.
Did anyone notice how Orlando's Stan Van Gundy called plays for back-up shooting guard J.J. Redick to come off double screens, as a way to get him scoring opportunities and/or the chance to make plays for open teammates, in the fourth quarter of the Thanksgiving night against the Hawks and wonder why the Hawks don't run plays to maximize the scoring talents of all of their players? Isn't that what separates the best coaches from the rest of the coaches?
Rebounding is the truest barometer of Hawks success. They win games when they win the rebounding battle and lose the games when they don't.
The article on Yahoo Sports about Joe Johnson should scare Hawk fans. Whether he is a superstar may be up for debate but there is no question about the respect he receives from players and coaches around the league. Only the game's best players ever face double teams and Johnson is routinely double teamed–even on the perimeter. Losing him would be a major blow to the Hawks' future championship aspirations.

Melvin, he had a very strong month. I've been pleasantly surprised by his play-making abilities and willingness to defend (not to say he is a great defender but he is trying). I always susepcted that if Crawford were really good, that it would hurt Teague more than anyone else. At this point, Teague is a 4th string PG…. behind Bibby, JJ and Jamal. He came in as the 3rd string PG but ultimately fell behind as Jamal started to show his value as a PG.
December 2nd, 2009
11:52 am
Noel I agree with you man. Woody is always the x factor – the Piston's reserves had the confidence to be the Hawks b/c the coach instilled that in them – IMO Woody's ineffectiveness in utilizing the bench could come back to haunt us. again….
December 2nd, 2009
11:52 am
Jay ,
Nice post.
On a side note, I think you see the difference between Josh Childress and Marvin Williams. Childress knew what to do and how to affect the game, despite the fact that his number was rarely called. Marvin doesn't, at least not yet. The confusion has to be based on what he thought he was supposed to be doing (Woody and JJ both said they need more scoring and aggressiveness out of him), versus what is actually happening (Al and Josh both getting more scoring opportunities, with Jamal also dominating the ball). And a lot gets swept under the rug when a team is consistently winning. Add the contract in, and it can be a confusing mess. The thing is, the contract has already been signed. That should be, and probably is, the least of his worries. How and where he fits NOW has to be the biggest one. I've seen him look both lost and frustrated out there this season.
Not something you want to see in a guy who you picked 2nd overall in the draft, and is entering his fifth season.
December 2nd, 2009
11:54 am
Astro Joe ,
Good to see you back enough to hang out a bit. I think you had the Crawford/Teague thing nailed. It is what it is. As long as Bibby doesn't get hurt or something like that, it may not be a problem. Then again, you never know.
December 2nd, 2009
3:31 pm
Just to ditto the comments on todays articke, here and on Hoopinion : We saw some bad behaviours from previous years creep up vs. ORL and DET. Selfish ballahdnling and bad shot selection at critical moments. I was so pissed on our 3rd/4th quarter ball-hogging/jump-shooting performance vs. ORL, I put down my 3rd piece of pie in protest and followed it up with a curse word chaser.
If we want to shed the pretender label, I would expect those issues to be resolved ASAP.

Jay- nice post, I did not notice the news about Childress' father, thanks for the update.
Marcus- nice post, funny.
Are these recent issues a blip or a return to bad habits? We shall see tonight!!
December 2nd, 2009
6:50 pm
Big Ray & Daniel,
Thanks for the kind words.
If winning is the best deodorant–in covering up a team's faults–then losing must be the greatest magnifying glass because you find faults that you didn't know existed.
Big Ray–you're right. Marvin does seem confused on the court. He was a prolific scorer in High School and had the green light to score as a sixth man at UNC but is now the number six scoring option–behind the other starters and Jamal–in Atlanta. Here's hoping the team's leaders (JJ & Bibby) step up soon to bring clarity to his confusion.
December 2nd, 2009

And Josh is going to the bench now because….
Damn you, Woody. He was giving my fantasy team a much-needed boost!
December 2nd, 2009
7:40 pm
You wanna know why +/- is a useless freaking stat? Because right now, Josh Smith is the only Hawk with a negative +/-.
December 2nd, 2009

Where the heck have this offensive playbook been all season. Great 1st half by the Hawks…
December 2nd, 2009

Geez, what a beating!
December 2nd, 2009

LMAO…. The Raptors goes on a 8-0 run and Nique says the Hawks are still in control…. Too Funny…
December 2nd, 2009

Nice to see US beating the crap out of somebody on the boards for a change. Good thing, too, as we are allowing them to shoot about 53% from the field.
December 2nd, 2009
9:05 pm
I'm currently watching the game right now and.and our hawks has a 30 point lead entering the 4th quarter.and guess what?Mike Woodson use the bench with full confidence.This is what i'm talking about.I think Woody read my comments with this blog.hahaha
December 2nd, 2009
9:07 pm
Melvin ,
Bad habits are hard to kick. On the flip side, I am very pleased to see Joe get 11 assists, as his scoring game still isn't looking too good. We need to find a way to get him out of that slump.
December 2nd, 2009
9:09 pm
Josh Smith has grabbed up some fouls, but he sure took Bosh out of HIS game…
December 2nd, 2009
9:12 pm
A RandMo sighting!
Hey y'all….how's Teague look to ya?
December 2nd, 2009
9:13 pm
Glad to see Marvin looking relevant tonight. Strange silence from College Park…..
December 2nd, 2009
9:15 pm
You know what? RandMo has just about always had some nice offensive moves. And then he blocks a shot? Wow!
December 2nd, 2009
9:19 pm
Look at all this ball movement. Woodson must have stopped coaching or something.
December 2nd, 2009
9:23 pm
Okay, it's official.
RandMo is no longer the Hawks doormat bench player. That title now officially belongs to King Cheeseburger Collins. Now we know why dude doesn't play.
How many minutes has he played? He's already out there breating with his mouth wide open. Yeesh.
December 2nd, 2009
9:28 pm
Damn. Kid has NO fear.
December 2nd, 2009
9:29 pm
Then again, there's not really anybody all that fearsome in the Raptors' lineup, lol….
Still, I like Teague's verve.
December 2nd, 2009
9:33 pm
Heh. Nine guys in double figures and one that almost made it (Mo Evans with 9). RandMo got 6, and Jason Collins showed us he's the new John Edwards. You know, capable of 4 fouls in 6 minutes of work. What the hey, he got to play.
And we won big. Night, all.
December 2nd, 2009
9:49 pm
Woody should show this game tape before every game for the rest of the season…
December 2nd, 2009
10:00 pm
What separates the wheat from the chaff when it comes to coaching is whether a coach can get his players to do this on a consistent basis. I loved what I saw tonight, but watching games like this makes it all the more painful when the Hawks fall back to the jump shooting/lazy on the boards version that still shows up far too often.
But I totally agree – Woody should show this game tape before every game. More importantly, he should drill it into the team at practice that this is how they should always play. The test is going to be whether the Hawks show that they can sustain the unselfish and tenacious-on-the-boards style when the other team fights back.
December 2nd, 2009
10:15 pm
Now that is the Hawks team I've been waiting for!!! How are things back in Atlanta? Ray and Ando, good work… Peace, Jerrell
December 2nd, 2009
10:27 pm
Wow–the Hawks opened up a giant sized can of deodorant against the Raptors!
Quick random thoughts:
The Hawks get their season's high in points when JJ gets his season's high in assists. Coincidence? I think not.
It's hard to believe that Woody believes there are games in which Jeff Teague shouldn't get some PT. The kid is a player.
We'll know the Hawks are really a championship contender when they play like this on the road against playoff caliber teams.
December 2nd, 2009
11:04 pm
Even though the place was kid of empty, it was fun to see the Hawks have an easy night. However, I would not read too much into this. The Raptors were on the 2nd night of a back to back and they really mailed it in tonight. I have more anxiety about the Detroit loss than I have good feelings about beating Toronto. There is no reason to slip up before the Dallas game. Gotta get the Knicks on Friday.
I only show this tape after it has been spliced into the Pistons tape. Use it as a lesson of the team that wants it more is usually more successful in the NBA.
December 2nd, 2009
11:14 pm
sweet to see aj here and …. eat umm humble pie like the man he is. durn, did we have a few words about it if i remember. just fine to see the man back at the liars table.
December 2nd, 2009
11:58 pm
Wow, are the Hawks that good or the Raps that bad (see Raps PPG/against this season for hint)? Seems like not too long ago someone was talking about how these Hawks resembled the 1990-ish Denver Nuggets (oh, that was me). Seems like tonight the Raps were channeling those same Nugs, on the DEFENSIVE end!
Game like this tells us nothing (except the Raps are decidedly headed in the wrong direction).
Hopefully, a crazy exhibition game like this, for the Hawks, will get them both relaxed and re-focused. Don't know which Knicks team we'll see Friday: the one that has struggled all year or the one who jumped all over the Suns the other day. But stopping a mini-slide, no matter who it's against, is what teams like the Hawks really need to do.
Say WHAT?
December 3rd, 2009
3:27 am
Yes, JT0 is a player and Woody has no excuse whatsoever not to have played him or to not play him in the future. The Hawks can't be expected to score 140+ points a night but they can be expected to play the way they did tonight. The more our inside guys get involved on the offensive end the better the Hawks are going to be. JJ doesn't have to score as much when he distibutes the ball as he tonight and gets the whole team going.
December 3rd, 2009
7:21 am
Did the Hawks just score again, at 7:20 this morning? Newkid, Ray & Doc… THANKS. Bacon Jason looks like he has been enjoying the Hardees drive-thru menu. Teague needs to use that floater more often, he seems to have many of his attempts at the rim sent back in the opposite direction. I also get the feeling that he and Crawford may not be the best pairing in the backcourt. Teague and Evans would likely be a better match.
December 3rd, 2009
11:11 am
uh aj thanks for not bring yi into the conversation for those that date back that far. heh heh i know ray would have by now. quite the gentleman you are indeed!
uh goooo hawks!!!! flying high again. stop the iso crap boys and go get us a championship.
December 3rd, 2009
11:23 am
Anytime you can score 140+ points and beat another professional team by 30 pts, I don't know how you can down play that victory. It was a great win last night in my view. Go Hawks…
December 3rd, 2009
11:41 am
Melvin ,
I wonder if Orlando's fans said the same thing to THEM after they torched us in that one particular game last season? Hey, what do I know? A 13-5 record isn't telling us anything either, I suppose…
December 3rd, 2009
11:43 am
doc, I would have bet my mortgage that Kirk Snyder was going to be a Kevin Martin-type scorer in the league. So I won't be throwing any stones because my house is made of some pretty cheap galss. (Plus, any discussion on Yi must include the economic benefit of having him on the roster).
