    Joe Blanton isn't even close to Adam Eaton. Adam Eaton was probably the biggest pus-- this town has even seen. Blanton is struggling no doubt, but big Joe has some balls. I'd still trust Blanton in a big spot. In my opinion Charlie totally f'd up last year not starting him in the playoffs over Pedro.

    oh really? he f'd up by not starting him over pedro? you've only said that at least 100 times in here.

    i know blanton's better than eaton. just frustrated by how bad he has been this year. if anything, his era certainly looks a lot like eaton's at this point.

    Looked pretty good last night. Had his longest outing of the year. Pitched into the 8th and gave up 3 runs. His numbers are not all that hot so far this year but he looked pretty good.

    I agree with pjhawks here. I don't mind blanton...if anything I think manuel has left him into games too long. He did miss what, 2 months...he's just getting back into game shape. he'll be fine.

    andy ashby was a bigger vag than even eaton. honorable mention to gavin floyd, who I was surprised never cried on the mound while wearing a phils uniform

    LOVE IT. Seriously - I should be living in Del Boca Vista with the A/C off all summer.

    To me, you gotta sweep this series, which of course won't happen.

    he only missed april and has an era in the mid 6's right now...i agree with manual keeping him games too long. he's not doing him any favors...especially sunday's game. but blanton should've been in game shape way before now. its july for christ's sake.

    Amaro: Phils will consider dealing off big league roster

    Ruben Amaro Jr. had a few interesting things to say earlier this evening as he addressed the Phillies' search for pitching and infield depth.

    First, he said that he would consider dealing a player off of his big league roster if he felt it would upgrade the overall competitiveness of the club.

    "Obviously I don't want to weaken my club," Amaro said, "but if I have to weaken one area to strengthen another, I might do that."

    Second, he said that Domonic Brown has played his way into consideration for a promotion at some point this season, although he stressed that the top prospect's 12 games at Triple-A are still too few to render a judgment on his readiness for the big leagues.

    "The players dictate their progress, and he's dictating it," Amaro said.

    Those two statements are related, of course. The Phillies two most tradeable quantities, at least when it comes to the starting line-up, are outfielders. Right fielder Jayson Werth will be a free agent after the season, and thus far the two sides have not come close to reaching an agreement on a contract extension. Center fielder Shane Victorino, meanwhile, is signed to a three-year, $22 million contract that runs through the 2012 season. Veteran left fielder Raul Ibanez likely would not attract much attention, given his contract (the Phillies owe him $11.5 million next season) and the decline in power numbers he has experienced this season.

    Brown plays right field, but Werth can play center field as well, which is why moving Victorino would still leave the Phillies with some flexibility.

    Amaro declined to address any specific names, either on his own roster or that of another major league team.

    But the Phillies are looking for a pitcher to bolster their rotation and an infielder to fill the void left by Chase Utley at second base. If he had to choose one, Amaro said he would choose a pitcher. The Phillies are also open to adding a bullpen arm, but their top priority is a starter.

    Of course, they had a starter back in December. His name was Cliff Lee, and they traded him to Seattle citing the need to replenish the farm system. Amaro said he does not regret the move.

    "If we had Cliff Lee, we wouldn't have Roy Halladay," Amaro said.

    But if they can trade for a pitcher now, why couldn't they have kept both Lee and Halladay?

    "Time and circumstance dictates some of the things you can and cannot do," Amaro said. "We just felt like we were in a position to be able to hold one guy and not to hold the other guy. We had to put ourselves in a position not to leave our club and our organization with the cupboard bare. By moving all of this talent from our organization, it just made it very difficult to continue to be able to do business long term. "

    werth should be cut for his AB there. absolutely horrendous. cost them the game

    game went to extras and they still only got 3 hits. that should have been enough to win, but werths' AB fucked them.

    this weather is worse than AIDS. been home for 2 hours and was finally able to peel my undies off my ass

    That ump was absolutely horrendous. Not saying that's an excuse. Werth - this whole team actually - has done shit in bunches.
