Roy Halladay Can Fire Joe Morgan
Dear Sunday Night Baseball,
Roy Halladay is unavailable. He isn't on the block. But thanks for saying he is "one of" the best. I know you were just trying to spare Johan's feelings (he is very sensitive), and you really wanted to say "Roy Halladay is the best." And he is the best because he won his 10th game yesterday, first one to get there this season. He would have been working on his 11th, had it not been for certain bullpen malfunctions on a fateful afternoon in Baltimore. But let's not focus on that. Let's focus on the fact that the Jays beat Zach "I'm sad because I'm not Doc" Greinke, ballooning his ERA to a big fat, juicy 1.55.
“No matter what I threw, it was just hammered. I’m not used to that. I don’t remember seeing anyone get hit that hard in a long time.” Yes, Zachary, it was alarming. Almost as alarming that Hocheaver was drafted before Evan Longoria and that the Jays beat Greinke and then lose to someone with an ERA over 10.
Lyle Overbay (he of the recent bombs) says Doc is all baserunners discuss. "Day in and day out, everybody that gets on first base says he's the best ... The Yankees, the Red Sox, they're like 'It's not fair.' I'm glad I'm on his side, not the other side."
Jason Sparks says Roy Halladay is without a doubt the best MLBer that America doesn't know exists. The guy would be a legit superstar if he wasn't in Toronto. Cito referred to Doc as "my man."
And then the man himself says this:
"It's the best run support I've had, that's for sure, and that makes a huge difference ... There were games early on where I didn't necessarily pitch great and we scored enough runs. It makes a huge difference and lets you get into the swing of things."
The Rog Mahal turned 20. This guy talks about it. And it's a nice read.
My memories?
I remember going to this place when I was a kid and being completely overwhelmed. The lights, the sounds and the crazy energy that 50,000 people can create. My parents took my brother and I on a Friday night. People were loaded and rowdy, but it was fun. I was outraged that I wasn't on the Jumbotron and that they kept showing this blond chick. Men were barking. And then my mom explained to me the power that hot chicks have over drunk guys.
I remember standing near the field before an afternoon game, with a pen and a piece of paper. Joe Carter was standing 20 feet away from me. I was a little girl, he would've signed. But I was too shy to ask, so I just stood there until he walked away.
