From Here on Out, We're Only Talking to Roy!
Last night, we witnessed a cosmic event. No, not beating the Angels. That was apparent pretty early. But Roy Halladay did something mystical. 14 strikeouts? 133 pitches? Total dominance interrupted by a random, unexplained blow up?
Roy Halladay became A.J. Burnett.
And he also played shadow puppets with Rod Barajas, which, rumour has it, was A.J.'s second favourite activity. First, of course, was following Roy around like a puppy. Roy was tired of following himself around, so shadow puppets it was. Above, Rod and Roy are making a bird.
Oh and Alex Rios continued to be awesome. And they made Rod Barajas score from first again. Paramedics were standing by.

I saw shades of Burnett tonight too, except Halladay fooled Angels hitters with his mind, not his power. It takes more still to do that.
I want to play shadow puppets with Doc. And "Rod the Bod."
It was kind of eerie to see Roy have a bad inning so late in an otherwise dominant performance. There have been many signs that he is indeed human and not machine as some suggest. But super human is probably more accurate...
Bite your tongue! Doc could never be AJ - he doesn't like shaving cream pies.
My theory is that he sat on the bench so long in the bottom of the sixth (I was there and it felt like forever) that something was a little tight and he had to throw a bit to loosen it, but he'd never say a word.
Rod chugging around the bases was quite something to see. Amazed that he made it.
I saw on the Ladies... blog that Nick Swisher is AJ's new boyfriend. Well, at least Swisher can pitch.
