Blanton to the Phils
I doubt anybody will see this, but remember who posted it first!
So, I can't say that this solidifies them at the top of the NL East...Any thoughts?

I think
You’re awfully bored to be putting up stuff like this at midnight.
I think it’s a trade. I’m not going to say whether it’s good or not, because Blanton hasn’t pitched a game for Philly yet, and Beane, despite the criticism, will somehow, get the job done, and put together a winner. The bigger picture people aren’t looking at is the fact that the A’s have traded five players (Haren+1, Harden+Gaudin, Blanton) and gotten eleven players in return. Whether or not they pan out to be good, they at least have a wealth of close-to, if not already major-league-ready talent to bolster their farm, or have as trade bait.
Does this bolster the Phillies? No. Who cares if they win the division and make the playoffs? They’ll probably lose to the uber-hot wild card from the Central, since the playoff format will not let the 1 seed play a wild-card in the same division in the first round, and we all know the west isn’t going to have anything better than the 3 seed.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

Tonight & Tomorrow
If you guys are at either of these games, I’m at both – if you feel like getting nosebleeds, come say “hi” to me – sec 414, row 4 tonight, row 2 tomorrow.

If I end up at a game
It will be Sunday. You won’t be there then?

"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."

You are soooo Brave...uh...courageous...
Can our relationship(s) take face-to-face meetings?!!! :P
I’ll be at every game this weekend…in the 4-somethings (tonight) too – a friend bought the tickets and didn’t tell me where they are yet. And I’ll be late getting there.
What a weird thing if we wind up with seats next to each other…
Left (out)field level Saturday night, and all over the place on Sunday (really 423 but I rarely sit in them).
I’m sure you’ve left for the game by now – I’m at my volunteer thing and keep getting interrupted
