Halladay all day

Toronto FC host Houston Dynamo at a booze free BMO Field today with a 1pm kickoff (coverage on CBC). The league leading Dynamo pounded TFC 3-0 on May 30th in H-Town, so TFC definitely has their work cut out for them today, as former Houston star and now RedDwayne De Rosario mentioned . The Dynamo's all-time leading scorer Brian Ching was fined for tweeting "ref in Seattle cheated the Dynamo...ref is a cheat". Wonder why a league would have a problem with that?...so if you bet on Tiger Woods to win the British Open, forget about it. For only the second time in his career, Eldrick missed the cut at a major. Biggest loser? Ratings, no doubt...not sure why things happen when they do, but seems odd that only now has video surfaced of that fateful night at a Vegas blue collar ballet of Adam "Pacman" Jones making it rain. Quality stuff embedded below...hey Yankee fans, want to buy the interlocking NY from behind the plate at the old Stadium? It can be yours for $50k, and includes delivery and having it transplanted into your lawn. Seriously...Canada faces Honduras today (5pm, SportsNet) in a Gold Cup quarter-final in Philadelphia. Will Ali Gerba continue his scoring hot streak? Let's hope, as it is good to see the red and white make some noise on the pitch...why JP Ricciardi might need to demand less for a Roy Halladay deal: as a guy signed in a multi-year contract, he's entitled to demand a trade in the off-season if he's dealt in the middle of his current year deal so a team could be renting him for a couple months and change. That said, with a no-trade deal, it seems unlikely he'd approve a move to somewhere he didn't plan on staying, but it is possible. Unless they're bluffing, you can count the Chicago White Sox out as manager Ozzie Guillen said "I don't think were going to give up half the organization for one player." Finally, Drunk Jays Fan - a great blog - says it is time to trade Halladay, but that it likely won't happen...not sure what it is about me that takes such great pleasure everytime the Toronto Argos get throttled. This time, they were 44-9 losers in Calgary...word is Shaquille O'Neal is talking about making a splash in MMA and wants a shot at UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar. Lesnar would kill him - maybe literally - in seconds. Shaq would be better served making Kazaam II than thinking he's got a hope against a total athletic freak than Lesnar...Phil Hughes whiffed all six batters he faced to get the win, 5-3, for the New York Yankees last night, not exactly a common event against a division leader...have a great Saturday all.
