There’s been all kinds of speculation and controversy
about Charlie Manuel starting #4 starter Joe Blanton instead
of his ace, Cliff Lee, on three days rest. Let me put the argument to rest. Starting Blanton handed the World Series to the Yankees last night. “You’re ...

Maybe it was because MLB was trying to
avoid a beanball war on the big stage, but
what was up with not allowing the Yankees at least one free shot after the A-Rod plunking? And Tim McCarver, just because you think Joe Blanton & Co. weren’t throwing at Rodriguez because of the ...

the World Series. C.C. Sabathia and Joe Blanton were both shaky in the first inning. The Yanks were able to score on a ground out and a sac fly in the top of the first, while the Phils scored on an Utley double in ...

While I was not entirely enthused about the

There's debate on whether the Phillies should start
Joe Blanton or Cliff Lee in game 4. It's
a no-brainer. Lee should receive his full rest and go in game 5; Blanton in game 4. There's also debate on Hideki Matsui playing the outfield. He should if he can move well enough to make the routine plays.
