I liked the fact how for their introductory press conference the other day that the 4 aces refused to do it unless Joe Blanton was included as well (as he originally wasn't). I agree with many of the writers I've heard lately speak on this, from a pure baseball standpoint, taking away the ideas of budget worries, etc, there's no reason to try and be trading Blanton, he gives you one of the best #5 pitchers in the league. The only way would be if you could get a solid righthanded bat for him, and I doubt they could.

C'mon, really? of course you do. For better or worse, the media loves to come up with a cute little label for the headline when they've got something special. And not like it's anything new, been going on for years.

Yea I mean I think Ryan Howard kinda botched it there by not following behind Rollins and bothering to steal 2nd, I'm just thankful that didn't come back to really bite them.
And I just couldn't deal with the idea of Brett Fucking Myers outdueling Roy Halladay on opening day. I mean c'mon, Myers in relation to our offense is not superior to Halladay in relation to their offense. I hate it when this team makes players look significantly better than what they really are. Myers has grown into being a quality pitcher, but c'mon.

I screen captured this the night it was fresh on here and keep forgetting to come post it up... ya know if not for simply process of elimination, I don't think I would've ever figured out that Halladay was the guy on the far right Obviously this is a caricature and the other 3 look enough like them to make the connection, but the Doc one seems way off.
