Reluctant Cynic, please don't bid $9 for waiver claims. - David Oct 14, 07:47 9

  - It looks right as it is. -- nm - David Oct 14, 08:04 2
    - Because I'm above him in the standings? -- nm - spamlet Oct 14, 08:07 1
      - Yes. -- nm - David Oct 14, 08:09
  - Or, you get LaFell and RC gets West. - Will Hunting Oct 14, 07:58

  - Oh, wow, I'd missed that. That's definitely what I'm rooting for too. -- nm - mara Oct 14, 08:24
  - Cursebreaker! -- nm - prayformojo Oct 14, 08:23
- I really want them to win the WS, just so we can stop hearing fans whining about the curse. -- nm - mara Oct 14, 07:47 7
  - If they do win, it will be Cleveland's chance to whine. -- nm - amoxy Oct 14, 08:02
  - But that's the fun part for non-fans, like how miserable Maple Leafs fans are since they haven't won a Cup since 1967. -- nm - Shaun Oct 14, 07:58 4
    - Yeah, well, it's not much fun for anybody else. -- nm - mara Oct 14, 08:02 2

        Haha, see? Chicago is way worse than NY, especially when it comes to pizza. -- nm - Shaun Oct 14, 08:26
    - this is the year! -- nm - jangles Oct 14, 07:59
  - that might be the day I have to look to move away from Chicago. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 14, 07:48

- depends on your reasons. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 14, 07:43 4
  - I just never liked them. -- nm - CQ Oct 14, 07:53 3
    - well, asking them to get crushed in a 7th game is a tad harsh. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 14, 07:55 2
      - wait, I hate the Mets more, so they can make it to the WS -- nm - CQ Oct 14, 08:00
      - Yeah, I'm not even that harsh. nm - Jim Oct 14, 07:59

speaking of breakfast, does anyone here do refrigerator oatmeal? -- nm - fabulous squad Oct 14, 07:33 6
- what is fridge oatmeal? -- nm - groiny Oct 14, 07:33 5
  - *sends fridge of spies to find out* -- nm - con_carne Oct 14, 07:55
  - basically put raw oatmeal, fruit, milk/yogurt in fridge at night. eat in morning. I want to try it, but wondered if anyone had input on - fabulous squad Oct 14, 07:36 3
    - Personally, I would not mix them until I was going to eat it. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 14, 07:37 2
      - the point is that it's easy. the oatmeal absorbs the milk so there's no cooking. so you *have* to mix before you eat. -- nm - fabulous squad Oct 14, 07:39 1
        
        aah, I was thinking it was more like a parfait, like granola. - groiny Oct 14, 07:40

- Time to move on to a better piece of kitchen equipment. :-) - Krusty Oct 14, 07:13 36
  - its useful for defrosting and reheating leftovers, that's about it. -- nm - znufrii Oct 14, 07:17 14
    - I could see it for defrosting some things but heating up food, no. I can't think of anything that I've made in one and thought it was cooked well. -- nm - Krusty Oct 14, 07:19 13
      - Pretty much any veggie. Whole potatoes -- nm - con_carne Oct 14, 07:38

      - I won't reheat pizza in one for example. I reheat that in the oven. But most things are fine. -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 07:21 9
        
        It's good for things like water for tea or veggies from a can. -- nm - Krusty Oct 14, 07:26
        
        who reheats pizza, anyway? - znufrii Oct 14, 07:22 7
        
        Word. -- nm - Krusty Oct 14, 07:25
        
        I don't like pizza cold, AT ALL! -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 07:23 4
        
        it's even better reheated on the stove in a frying pan. -- nm - Andie - Go Jays! Oct 14, 07:25 3
        
        Or just throw it on a stone and put it in the oven -- nm - Jim Oct 14, 07:27
        
        I've read that here and I need to try it one day. I usually just eat it cold. -- nm - Krusty Oct 14, 07:26 1

    - My friend's mom made their Thanksgiving ham in one many years ago. The whole ham! I was happy to not be celebrating with them that year, -- nm - Krusty Oct 14, 07:20 8
      - I've made Thanksgiving turkey in a microwave twice. They both turned out great. -- nm - Diva Oct 14, 07:22 5
        
        You make me sad like that turkey you cooked. ;-) - Krusty Oct 14, 07:24 4
        
        I would have rather made it in the oven but on both those occasions the oven was broken. If you get a cooking bag it turns out great. -- nm - Diva Oct 14, 07:27 3
        
        Also, Pampered Chef makes a great stone roaster specifically for use in a microwave. - Jim Oct 14, 07:28 2
        
        oooh... -- nm - Diva Oct 14, 07:30 1
        
        It ain't cheap...but it's good. AND, you have to have a decent sized microwave to even fit it. -- (link) - Jim Oct 14, 07:58
      - Ham Snob! -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 07:21 1

  - They are going to be good for a while. I see that fan base, like the Red Sox, crossing over from lovable losers to intolerable pretty quickly. -- nm* - Volnelk Oct 14, 06:43 8
    - I could see that. nm - Jim Oct 14, 06:49 7
      - But...only if they win it all. -- nm - Jim Oct 14, 06:50 6
        
        they are good, but they are a flawed team, with only 2 real starting pitchers and no bullpen. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 14, 07:07 5
        
        I worry for them when they have to face either Grienke/Kershaw or DeGrom/Harvey in a short series. The Cards starting pitching was a shell. - Jim Oct 14, 07:10 4
        
        a 7 game series tends to bring out flaws such as bad bullpen. - groiny Oct 14, 07:11 3
        
        It didn't hurt that Wrigley played like Coors Field for the last 2 games either. - Jim Oct 14, 07:16 2
        
        well, that helped a couple of your guys too though. - groiny Oct 14, 07:18 1
        
        Definitely. When our team is relying on Stephen Piscotty for almost everything, we're in trouble. - Jim Oct 14, 07:24
