Blanton kinda sucks, man

[The God of Runs]

How much longer will it take for Scioscia to replace him with Richards?

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

If he wasn't signed to a 2 years and $15 million contract in the offseason, he probably wouldn't last long in the rotation. 

[Freezer]

Is it Ervin Blanton or Joe Santana? Either way, he really needs to work on keeping those homeruns to a minimum.

[FabulousFabregas]

Don't say it in the chatroom or Chuck will ban you.

[bloodbrother]

Joevin Blantana

[Tyler]

Everybody after Weaver and Wilson sucks in that rotation.

[FabulousFabregas]

Hey Chuck how about backing up why you love Blanton so much rather than deleting my posts/banning me from chat.

[The God of Runs]

Halos will just need to score 6+ runs everytime someone other than Weaver pitches.

Why not stop being Rainman in the chatroom and spamming your hate for Blanton?

Maybe chuck thinks its his first start of the season after a good spring training against a good lineup...and that your constant whining is just plain tiresome, but I could be wrong about that; it could be entirely different reasons.

And we knew this going into the season, but that doesn't keep the crybabies quiet.

Hate?  I was trying to get Chuck to show me some numbers supporting his view on Blanton being a good signing.  I was bringing up guys I'd have preferred to sign when he banned me/trolled me.

You have a PM. Oh and I did back it up on the old forum.

 

I don't mind venting & critiquing the team, the plays, management etc. What I have a problem with is when you're only here as an opportunist to point out every mistake, stat or negative thing that happens.

 

Mix in a little optimism and cheer once in a while or I will angelduck you from this community.

Exactly!

Therein lies the problem. Some fans just always know best. It's amazing you aren't working for MLB.

The chat is FOR VENTING, especially when the team is losing.  If you think I'm the only one venting in there you're nuts.

 

Blanton is a veteran and I don't get how anybody could expect him to be a mid 3 ERA guy at this point.  For a 5 type starter I'd have at least gone for a guy with low 4's ERA last few seasons.

I was in there and saw your venting. However, you don't get to fillabuster.

You don't get it FF.

No the chat is not for venting. It is for having a good time. You are not a good time in chat

I don't care about threats.  I like this place and respect what you've done with it but there's other places to discuss the Angels online.  I've been very optimistic when the team is looking good.  Loved the Hamilton signing, was in favor of the Hanson trade, while I was nervous about Morales for Vargas I didn't have a problem with it.  Blanton is pitching today and I didn't like that signing, so I was discussing who I think would have been better (or could be better, like Richards) in the rotation for better value.  Also were you in there in the opening day chat when I said I was dancing when the Angels won?  When the team does well and wins I'm happy, when they're losing I'm not.

It's not just for venting, my point is when we're not doing well/something bad has happened it's a place to vent.  When we do well, like the awesome opening day win, it's a place to celebrate.

[Lifetime]

LOL looking to get an early boot arguing about getting booted in the chat by Chuck and carrying that argument to the main board. Not so bright. 

[FabulousFabregas]

I hope Chuck's right and Blanton is great.  Hell before Wells was traded I hoped he'd bounce back this year for us.

We were not getting that celebratory mood from you at all. No matter what was going on in the game you stayed the Rainman course. You wa nt to have a discussion about a player, quote stats, bring up past events then make a thread. You want to join in a chat then make it that, not some grudge match.

It's not some grudge thing, we're talking baseball.  One of the last things I put in chat before being banned was Blanton's ERA the last 3 seasons.
