The forgotten member of the starting staff by the media has a lifetime .641 winning percentage as a Phillie (25-14 in 73 games). Joe Blanton is a great asset as a 5th starter, and a beloved member of the team. He's durable and relatively consistent. He's built to last standing 6'3" and tipping the scales at 245 pounds (that's after a 2 day fast and sauna session). However, he gets poked at more than the Pillsbury Doughboy because of his *chubbiness*. Tonight he looks to get the Phils back to their winning ways against the Mets. So don't disrespect on GI Joe, or he'll be gunning for you. 
* = I could pass as homeboy's twin if I grew a goatee, seeing as I'm nearly the same size and build as Heavy B.

Bad feeling about this game. Too many runners left on base by the Phils and now Blanton turned into a turd.
I'm not just saying this because of these 2 games, I thought this prior to the season- the Mets are a lot better than people think. They're not a playoff team, but they could easily be .500 or slightly better.
Bullpen gonna be gassed after the craptastic Hamels and Blanton starts. Doc needs to get surgical tomorrow and slice the Mets up for 9 strong.
