"Good thing for Roy Halladay, or it might well be 0-6"
What a stupid comment. I could say if it wasn't for Sabathia, tyhe Jays would have won that series against the Yanks. :P
Jays fans are neither numerous nor particularly quick. Instead of noticing that the Yankees are a mere 2-5 against the Jays/Sox, they get hooked on what is essentially a compliment to Halladay for being the only thing between them and a fruitless week (outscored 27-14 too...yikes!).
But, guess that's what you go with when the lead is about to evaporate and the downward spiral is already in progress.
Oh, and the only stupid part was in saying that it "might well" be 0-6. No Halladay and you can bet it'd be 0-6.
For all the talk of how Papi can't hit homers anymore, isn't it amazing that he couldn't hit one at homer friendly Yankee Stadium in three games but crushed one off of Brett Cecil?
Bukkake...no "Bear Wear"?
