Jonny, I’m hurt and offended that you would think I would resort to making cheap jokes about Blanton’s girth. —sniff—

That said, the Phightins are just looking for Joe’s new Old Country Buffet.

The heaviest guy outside of CC? Is Sabathia eating people now?

Speaking of nicknames and Rotunda, if Pittsburgh were to sign Brad Penny, their starting staff could be called 4 Bucs and a Penny. $4.01. Or is that overpaying?

Must be Sanchez then. He’s the heaviest guy outside of CC. Never heard him called that.

They should both have entire solar systems orbiting them.

I knew it would be you. Or that dastardly Utley’s merkin.

If you’re looking for a pound-for-pound replacement, perhaps the Phils should go after Garcia. Then you could have Fat Freddy Dough and the Terror Squad.

Come to think of it, no. We already have one FAT TOAD.

Aaaah, maybe we’ll take ‘em both.

Really? I thought Blanton was older than that. Hmm. Learn something new every day.
INFORMAL POLL QUESTION: Who weighs more, Bobby Jenks or Joe Blanton?

He is a ‘huge’ ‘pick up’ indeed.

I hate to see him go. The dude is a good pick up. And he’s huge. Anyone who gets him will be happy with him imo.

They better get another fat Joe in there if they trade him. I’ll cry if they lose the ability to name the staff “Fat Joe and the Terror Squad.”
