Blangraphs

Today, 7/31/2012, is the trade deadline.
During the spring there was much talk about Joe being shipped out because he was deemed superfluous to the rotation and because he made "too much money".

Today, that threat is even more real. The Phillies are in danger of losing Blanton, their ace. The star of the 2008 world series, one of just 7 remaining players from that team and all for nothing (salary relief, whatever that means).

This is a protest against the trading of  Joe Blanton to anyone, and a plea to offer him an extension. He is our most consistent and well beloved players and without him Blangraphs would not exist.
