Top-3 School Lunches:

Spaghetti and meat sauce
Pizza
Tacos (the meat was weird tho)

Did anyone else get pizza hut and taco bell day? where they would come in and cook their food in your cafeteria?

It was bonkers

Maybe it's the sarcastic tone you write with, but it sure seems like you revel in pointing out how wrong those are that are hoping for a lot in a trade for Kane, and how Botterill is wrong for supposedly putting out there that he's asking for the moon.

What? no. you mean like a "chef" from taco bell and pizza hut came to your school and made their menu items from scratch?

That sounds crazy and also dope

i'll give you the game has changed and that style of play isn't as effective any more, but you make it sound like he's an ahl'er

Michael, love the blog as always. Excellent!

I hate to disagree with you, but bogo is completely worthless.

Overpaid
Injured often
Not good when playing

It will probably take a pick on our part to trade him away. Similar to the Brock oswieler trade from Houston to cleveland.

Hopefully jbotts suprises me and gets a good return

I am totally serious: If anyone wants to sell David Byrne at UB tix, please PM me. I did not even hear about it until it was already sold out.

Yeah, middle school in the early/mid 2000s

Yeah so it was a super limited menu. You could either get a pepperoni or cheese personal pan pizza on pizza hut day

or

beef tacos on taco bell day. you could only get 2 at a time, but people would order, then zoom around back to the line again. It was so weird and wonderful

a couple days ago i had a laugh with someone here over the fact that i can't convey sarcasm in my posts properly so I doubt it's that.

it's not right or wrong. Im curious why a smart guy like Botts would risk that early in his tenure and im curious why fans have set such a high expectation for this deal. Like hes on his way out, at this point anything you get for him is a win. The L comes when you re sign him to a bad deal or dont move him and let him walk.

I cant recall a time where a teams build faltered because they couldn't get enough for their rentals. you want to maximize return sure but in the grand scheme of things it doesnt really make or break it. At least imo

Can’t tell u how many teachers (etc)
I know who wait tables or bartend on the weekends

And now the Uber/Lyft & delivering for Skip & Grubhub is a way ppl are making extra cash now too

No, ppl are gonna go hang outside Home Depot
But there are reasonable things ppl can do

It’s still BS that college costs a crap ton of $$$ and puts most ppl in crazy debt

I am confused what he is risking.

He has said nothing. Dreger reported what he heard, which we have no idea if it is true or not.

What exactly is he risking? 'Maybe' asking too much according to an insider who's lost mph off his fastball?

So he shouldn’t ask for as much bc of the potential fan perception will feel let down?

I’d be much more pissed if he didn’t at least try to get as much as he can

well he shouldn't ask for as much because nobody's going to pay that and hed wind up scrambling on the last day but perception absolutely matters.

It's a fragile fan base, slightest thing could tick off the season ticket holders.

Stop overreacting like a psycho

It’s a message board man
Not like you’re likely to encounter any of us in real life

And you’ve been quite the d!ck regardless of whether or not I flagged (only 1) post of yours

Calm down dude

Everyone is gonna catch a ton of heat. People who don't pay attention will say "why are they trading the second best player"

It will be guaranteed outrage.

The best thing Botterill could do is bring in a prospect who is ready and immediately play him with Eichel. That will quiet it somewhat in the days immediately afterward

Turkey chunks in gravy over the instant potatoes was a double lunch day almost guaranteed.
