Joe Blanton released!

[The Angels]

Is anyone else really bummed by this news? He may have had a down year, but when he's on he's without question one of the absolute best pitchers in baseball. I was hoping he could have an Ervin Santana like year and lead our rotation. I must admit, my excitement for the season just took a big hit with this horrible management decision. Blanton did the Angels a huge favor when he signed for a relative bargain price of only 2 years and 15 million. I'm sure he could have gotten much more, but he wanted to play for the Angels. And this is how we repay his loyalty? Jerry Dipoto, GTFO.

That post is either sarcasm gold or uh....

 

I'm gonna go with sarcasm

[Jay]

I'm bummed because he sucks, not because he was released.

[Brandon]

This ****ing team.

GMJ, Abreu, Wells, Madsen, and now Blanton.

At least we don't have to look at his dumbass bro goatee anymore.

The Ric Flair gif is money.

OMG the @ngelsWin compassion cup runneth over.

He was a black hole in the rotation.  Anyone.  ANYONE, would be better.  He has no place in the Majors.

I'm wondering where all the people are who insisted he would make a handful of starts this year

I am not going to run away from it.  I thought he would.  Thank God I was wrong.

12/12/12 ... we've had better days.

He still might for someone...just not us.

I hate being so callous, but he just isn't a major league caliber pitcher anymore.  Every time he touched the ball, the opposing team saw him with a beach ball.  I wish him the best, but it's just not fair if he plays like he did last year, and gets onto a major league roster.

I have to say thank you for all the video humor.  You guys are brutal, but funny!
