The Phillies speedy centerfielder and avid Bob Marley fan, Shane Victorino, has agreed to write his own blog for MLB.com this postseason. And unlike that fake Joe Torre blog, it appears as though Shane himself is actually writing it.

Now, as you may recall from such groundbreaking interviews as “Oh, no questions asked,” the Hawaii native isn’t exactly what you would call a master of the English language.  Unfortunately, his humorous, fast-talking interviews don’t translate perfectly to the written word; but at least he is every bit as repetitive and grammatically incorrect as he is on tape.

This is a mission, not a small time thing

My personal favorite blurb is when he reminisced over last year’s playoffs and claimed simply making it was “a high in itself.” Right on, brah.

For the readers sake, I’m hoping he updates this page early and often.

To welcome our newest tubby pitcher into town, the creative minds at The Fightins went ahead and did Joe Blanton the solid of redesigning his website to make it more Phillies-friendly.  I imagine being a starting pitcher in the major leagues is taxing — ya know, with only 4 days of downtime in between starts — so I completely understand why Joe’s fancy MLBlog hasn’t been updated in almost a month and still displays the Oakland A’s logo along with the saying, “My official MLBlog as we try to bring A’s fans a world championship in 2008.”  As a blog connoisseur, I find that unacceptable.  So we fixed it.

Below you will find both versions (click on them to enlarge, dummy); on the left is the current non-updated version, to the right is tweaked by The Fightins to fit his “innings eater” persona.

And now, without furthur ado, the new & improved Joe Blanton MLBlog:
