(No Love Lost on Wiggins Trade)
(St. Louis Craft Spirits & Cocktail Week Sept. 13 to 21 - Feast Magazine, St. Louis)

@@@
The Love for Wiggins trade should be finalized tomorrow, and even though it hasn't happened yet, I am over it already. When  were engaged with Flip on a potential Taj-and-stuff for Kevin deal I wept and prayed, but now that the crisis is passed I can be my objective self again.

The third-annual St. Louis Craft Spirits Cocktail Week, organized by local craft distillers and the St. Louis Bartenders Guild, is from Sat., Sept. 13 to Sun., Sept. 21. The goal is to highlight the growing popularity of craft spirits and craft cocktails in a series of events that showcase local microdistilleries, local restaurants and the craft of making a great cocktail.The list of microdistilleries that will be showcased are: , , , , , , , , Still Joy Spirits,  and .ST. LOUIS EVENTS:Weeklong events
I am not a Love hater, he has had some solid seasons with the Wolves, but c'mon already. He has not been able to get to the playoffs for 6 years, what is that about? Haberstroh wrote  about how it's NO LOVE'S FAULT, that he just didn't have good enough teammates. Nobody but Kevin has gone through the last six years without a teammate with at least a 7.0 WARP for Chrissake! Not even Jo, who had Jimmy with a 7.1 (and according to Haberstroh if Jimmy can get a 7.1 you know that is bottom of the barrel <a href=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Flip-Flops>Cheap True Religion Jeans</a>  in WARP ratings, that's for sure),
+
Cocktail Menu Take Over: The entire cocktail menu at Mission Taco, Sub Zero, Gamlin <a href=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php>Cheap Christian Louboutin Shoes</a>  Whiskey House, and Taha鈥檃 Twisted Tiki聽will feature all locally produced spirits.
So now I am thinking that Haberstroh must be right. Poor Kevin, NOBODY can be expected to win with those sub-7.0 D-leaguers he's been stuck with, right? I mean, how many teams could make the playoffs without two guys with at least 7.0 WARPs?
+
Liquor store specials from Randall's, The Wine and Cheese Place and Lukas Liquor.
The answer is 5. There were 5 teams last year that made the playoffs without 2 guys with plus 7 WARPs. AND the  only had one player over 7 WARP, and THEY finished better than the Wolves. Here is the list:
+
Sat., Sept. 13
: Williams 5.4, Pierce 5.2, Johnson 4.9
+
The Classic Cocktail Party聽(6 to 9pm, Lafayette Square Park) will feature special cocktails from each distillery to showcase their spirits at the festival. Live music will be provided by Funky Butt Brass Band. Bring your chairs and dinner, or purchase food on site. The event is a fundraiser for the Arts Council of Lafayette Square.
: Jefferson 7.8, McRoberts 6.5, Walker 5.1
+
Mon., Sept. 15
: Milsap 6.7, Korver 5.9, Carroll 5.8
+
鈥淪peakeasy, But Loud About Climate Change鈥澛?5 to 8pm, Missouri Coalition for the Environment) a fundraiser hosted by聽Coulter Payne Farm Distillery.聽
: Conley 8.2, Randolph 6.4, Gasol 5.6
+
Smoke 鈥榥 Whiskey聽(6 to 9pm, Gran Cru Cigars) An NFL watch party and special release of Still 630 Distillery's Soulard Island Rum
Mavs: Nowitski 10.9, Calderon 6.3, Wright 5.1 (Yes, was their 3rd best WARP!)
+
Tue., Sept. 16
Suns: Dragic 10.3, , 6.4, Tucker/Green 6.1
+
Gin Night聽(6 to 9pm, Natasha's Gin Room) will feature Pinckney Bend and Spirits of St Louis聽
Wolves: Love 14.3, Rubio 5.9, Pekovic 5.9
+
Spirited Dinner聽(6pm, Juniper) will showcase drinks <a href=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php>Cheap Christian Louboutin</a>  from the Big O and Spirits of St. Louis Distillery. Reservations are required, so 314.329.7696 to make one.
So apparently it's not that hard. If Al Jefferson can lead the Hornets to the playoffs with  as his wingman, can you really feel sorry for ? (But Love is in the WEST, not the East, you say. Well Dirk made the playoffs with Calderon and Brandon Fucking Wright, didn't he? Would you really rather have those two than Rubio and Pek? Didn't think so.)
+
The Crack Fox聽Happy Hour (5 to 9pm, The Crack Fox) will have聽specials on local spirits and an introduction and tasting of their new food menu, plus late-night karaoke.
Still that's just 1 year and those 5 teams may be flukes. If you look at QUALITY players over the history of the league, surely there are some who <a href=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Sammy>True Religion Sammy</a>  have been as inept as Love at getting their team to the playoffs, right?
+
Adult Sundaes and Shakes (The Fountain on Locust), where聽Wood Hat Distillery will be teaming up with The Fountain on Locust for adult flavored sundaes and shakes聽
The answer to that is YES, If you look at the  (you can look at more than that if you want but 50 is a lot) there are a few who rival Love in terms of not making the playoffs. Dave Bing missed 5 of his first 6 playoffs, before making 4 in a row, Dave DeBusschere missed 4 of his first 5 before making 8 in a row, and Pete Maravich made his first 3, then missed 6 in a row before finishing his career with a playoff appearance. So these three players are the most similar to Love. I guess if I was Love I would want to be Pistol Pete over the two Daves, he could shoot the daylights out of the ball. Probably the better comps though are Bing and DeBusschere. I would enjoy a good debate on who is better, Love or DeBusschere.
+
Wed., Sept. 17
(The only other guys in the top 50 that missed the playoffs at least 4 years in a row were Walt Frazier (5), Moses Malone (4), Bill Walton (4) and Lenny Wilkens (7). All but Walton finished their careers with their non-playoff strings, as they faded out. Most of Wilkens' string was as a player-coach. Walton's 4 years were in the middle of his career when he was <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Discount-Michael-Kors-Bags>Discount Michael Kors Bags</a>  hobbled.)
+
Whiskey Happy Hour聽(7 to 9pm, The Whiskey Ring) Come taste samples from Pinckney Bend Distillery, StilL 630, Coulter Payne Farm Distillery, Wood Hat Spirits Distillery, Dark Horse Distillery and Spirits of St. Louis Distillery.
Anyway, to summarize:
+
