Amaro: So, listen. The reason I've put together this conference call is because I think of our team as a family, and I want to consult with the family before I make any really important decisions.
Amaro: And, right now, I'm facing a really important decision. A decision that could make a world of difference for the next several years. So I wanted to ask you guys - what do you think about Cliff Lee? I've got a chance here. I just want to make sure it's all kosher before I proceed.
Oswalt: Hell yeah!
Hamels: Yes, absolutely!
Utley: Come on man, of course! If you can get him, get him!
Halladay: You've got my full support.
Howard: Bring the man back!
Kendrick: Count me in!
Blanton: NO
Lidge: Sign that bad boy, let's win this thing!
Blanton: NO

Some good newspaper or something better pick you up someday, Sullivan.

Newspaper?
Matthew - December 14, 2010
So delightfully retro!
sanford_and_son - December 14, 2010
I don't know.
Kirk - December 14, 2010
They existed before the internet according to wikipedia
Fuzz - December 14, 2010
LL should acquire the PI.
SeattExPat - December 14, 2010
That would be a step down for us. LL has more readership

But then we could have photo galleries of lingerie fashion shows! And have people submit pictures of their dogs!
Journalism!

I vote that Eyebrows not be in charge of any photos
I’ve seen some of the shit he puts up here, and it either creeps the almighty fuck out of me, or makes me want to puke up my toenails. I’m remembering the spiders and the bee on the eyeball. Fuck.
Matt Erickson - December 14, 2010
I love you Jeff.
Patrick Stites - December 14, 2010
Fuck you cupcake
You worthless fat bastard, you

Blanton needs to get on the Mariners somehow.
He’s the type of pitcher who’ll peripheral up a mid-2.00 ERA and we can sucker a team out of a good prospect for him.
Call him Jarrod Washburn Redux.
Craig341 - December 14, 2010
Except for the fact that most M's fans want Blanton to die
That would totally work out.
CMC_Stags - December 14, 2010
We learned to love Washburn after 8 years as an Angel
and he netted us a nice prospect on the way out.
Craig341 - December 14, 2010
Yeah but Washburn didn't attack Ichiro

I feel like a jackass again but I don't know of this story

That's the first thing I thought about with Blanton
You can’t take on Ichiro and not be hated for eternity by fans of the Mariners.
PascoJoe - December 14, 2010
Who loved Washburn?
Matthew - December 14, 2010
Nobody, I guess.
My point is we should be acquiring bad pitchers with okay peripherals. have them pitch in Safeco behind this defense for four months, then trade them to a stupid GM who thinks they’ve “turned a corner”.
It’s just that Blanton’s the perfect test case.
Craig341 - December 14, 2010
I'm all in favor of taking advantage of the massive amounts of stupid floating around MLB front offices
and that’s a way to harvest it.
Craig341 - December 14, 2010

Speak for yourself.
Eyeball Kid - December 14, 2010
Who keeps saying that?
Matthew - December 14, 2010
It was him
Matthew - December 14, 2010
Get him fellas
Matthew - December 14, 2010
This conversation you're having with yourself is super cute.
Eyebrows - December 14, 2010 via mobile
Nobody ever listens to me.
msb - December 14, 2010
It's the beard.
I guess you shaved your neck at least.

Was that the sequel to this story?
