Awkward
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

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!

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.

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.
Except for the fact that most M's fans want Blanton to die
That would totally work out.
We learned to love Washburn after 8 years as an Angel
and he netted us a nice prospect on the way out.
Yeah but Washburn didn't attack Ichiro

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.
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.
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.

This conversation you're having with yourself is super cute.
