GO JOE BLANTON!

[Capital_Dave]

Seriously, we should all be cheering for Blanton today.  He won't be starting for us to start the season, but maybe he can find another team willing to trade for him if he pitches well today.  So, let's all cheer "GO JOE BLANTON" so soon we can say, "Go, Joe Blanton."

[eligrba]

I agree.

 

Go Joe Go!!!!!

 

It is hard for me to be negative because if the Angels offered me the same contract I would have signed it.  And, probably pitch as well.  Honestly, I am a bit jealous.

[Tank]

i've been wanting him to go since he first got here.

 

my position remains unchanged.

Had to come to AW after I saw the box score. I thought for sure that this board would be a white and red melted mess.

[Angel Oracle]

No comprende 3 scoreless innings by Blanton

lol, i see what you did there

I think Ron Washington's pregame instructions were something like this. "Now we all know we want to face Blanton during the regular season so do your best to make this guy look like Greg Maddux in his prime today."

[Homebrewer]

"If this guy gets released, he might wind up here...so swing accordingly"

[Chuck]

He won't be starting on opening day but yes, he will be in the rotation for the first part of 2014.

No he won't.

[Homebrewer]

Chuck, your forehead got pretty red in Az.

[Ohtaniland]

BLANTOWN validation. He proved that he could be our #3 today. I better get the sign ready.

[AngelsFaninGA]

Today's start probably locked up a rotation spot for Blanton. 

[Blarg]

Now watch him throw 5 shutout innings only giving up a couple of infield hits to mess with everyone.

 

I got it wrong. He only gave up one hit.

[YouthofToday]

The ball really came out of his hand well today!

[FabulousFabregas]

Blanton's going for his second consecutive Cactus League Cy Young Award.

[Diaz15]

Don't trust it... 

[mrwicked]

blanton will be released...

and go to the giants or a's or some other team w awesome pitching coaches

and have a huge bounce back year.

 

or he'll keep sucking.

either way.

[Tank]

BLANTOWN validation. He proved that he could be our #3 today. I better get the sign ready.

 

i hope your sign says GOODBYE.

 

anything other than that is an EPIC FAIL.

[Brent Maguire]

I'm not sure how to feel about this. 

 

Blanton isn't supposed to do this.

That wasn't the real Joe Blanton. I put the real Blanton on a plane to Malayasia over the weekend.

[Guest]

He did pretty well today, but he still shouldn't be playing once the season starts.

[YouthofToday]

That wasn't the real Joe Blanton. I put the real Blanton on a plane to Malayasia over the weekend.

Not funny. Too soon.

[Guest]

Classless.

[Angel Oracle]

He was sitting on 88-89mph. Once the season starts, he'll get hammered.

[Chuck]

Dipoto pretty much told us who the starting 5 was at our Fanfest Dinner Event.

Blanton was not included.
