 How do you like Joe Blanton now?
How do you like Joe Blanton now?
July 17: Phillies acquire Joe Blanton from Oakland for pitcher Josh Outman, second baseman Adrian Cardenas and outfielder Matt Spencer. Consensus: Joe Stinkin’ Blanton? Those cheap S.O.B.’s. Was Steve Trachsel unavailable? Did they secretly re-hire Ed Wade?? Why don’t you just give the division?!
