Around SBN: My First Fight: Diego Sanchez

Hope this is not Halladay's last start here...

There's no question Roy Halladay is the best pitcher this organization has ever had and if or when he leaves the Blue Jays for another organization, he will be greatly missed.  There's  a lot of speculation, tonight's start against the Rays could be his last in a Jays uniform.  It's understandable Roy wants what every player wishes, and it's winning a World Series Championship.

It's such a shame Rogers are not putting forward better efforts the last couple of seasons to  put a contending team on the field to compete with New York and Boston.  Although Ricciardi has been highly criticised, in reality he just has not been given the money or flexibility in his budget that would produce a championship team here.  However, he also deserves to be heavily criticised for the ridiculous figures in new contracts awarded to Wells and Rios.  To add to that, 5-years are more than sufficient time to build a respectable team, which he has miserably failed.  Halladay could have stayed here for a more considerable amount of time, if this organization were really committed to put a winning product on the field. But this ain't happening and unfortunately  the  great and dedicated baseball fans of this city are once again going to be left out in the dark.

For Roy's sake i hope that was his last start here.

I cant imagine how he must feel every time that happens to him. He deserves a world series title now.

True....

If we are bad with him in our side, I could only imagine how worse it will be without him….

does anyone have the stats

on doc vs NL teams? Is he as dominating vs NL batters as he is vs AL (granted the sample size will be smallish)?

I think the sample size is too small

But compared to the lineups you see in the AL East, the NL is like AAA
