It’s my understanding that baseball coaches wear team uniforms because they’re technically allowed to play in games. Anyone know if that would require them to be on the official 25 man roster, or could Moyer be signed as pitching coach, not take up a roster spot and still go out there every fifth game? I doubt it, but that would be frickin’ awesome.

Blanton is ok now. I don’t think we gave him enough credit for his last start: 7 innings, 3 ER, 5 hits
Pretty damn good… if he can keep this going for the rest of the season, we have a pretty decent No.4/No.5 pitcher

Hey, I like Geoff’s contributions. I like the fact that he types from the gut without filtering it through the “think-it-all-the-way-through” apparatus.

On a serious note, this Blanton news is a problem. Why didn’t the team REST the guy if the guy was trying to play hurt? We have JA Happ in the wings. I’m not saying he’s Doc Gooden circa 1985, but we’ve all pointed out that Happ did a nice job in his two starts and deserved at least one (or even a couple) more.

This smells of Gillick’s feces-soaked fingers. Bring in a journeyman innings eater, and then hide/cover-up an injury to the guy? It’s almost like Gillick was going to trot Blanton out there every five days whether he was any good or not — whether he was healthy or not — because Blanton was the pickup he made. Atrocious.

And I’m wary of the medical staff/trainers too. We all should be in the aftermath of “Joe Borowski isn’t healthy enough to pass a physical for the ‘07 season, but Freddie Garcia is just fine.”

I agree with you 100% christopher. I wonder if we are lucky enough to win the East again we will see Geoff in the background pouring champagne all over JRoll, Vic, Howard, Blanton and all the others he’s bashed. He sounds so important!

Yes, we should just laugh at this point – he’s an @$$clown!

don’t forget about how geoff knew personally how immature victorino was up until charlie “pulled him aside” and talked to him. it was nice of geoff to be there and help that situation go down. i also like how nobody has talked about trading howard except for him, and now that howard is smacking the laces off the ball again, geoff is constantly pointing out that we shouldn’t trade howard in his comments… so he’s basically just talking to himself, trying to convince himself not to trade howard.

in all honesty he’s so over the top you can’t help but laugh at this point and move on.

and Geoff…Don M wants to join you when you go to the clubhouse. I mean, its clear you hang out there all the time to know JRoll is such a cancer. Let us know! I’ll go too! And while you’re at us, fill us in on how you get in there…I mean, I’m sure someone with your knowledge must work for them and would have time to sit on this message board releasing all this “inside” scoop! You are a clown!

Get off JRoll…we are winning right now BECAUSE of him! Yes he had a slump and said dumb things, but he is why we are winning! WHY would you get rid of him!? Oh because of the clubhouse behavior that you know SO much about!
