Gee...

who didn’t see that coming.

Anyone still want to say he wasn’t trying to ass-rape a team with what he was asking for Halladay to try and save his job?

And the little bastard threw it for a swinging strike three in a 3-2 count. He’s blessed. And ballsy.

Way overdue

This should have happened last year, but hopefully the Jays can move on and improve. Somebody needs to knock the Red Sox & Yankees off their perch!

I still have hope for the Rays in the coming years

I think they just had some underperformers this year. Maybe they can pull it together next season, kinda like the Rockies 07-09.

yup

out of that division, they do have the best starting pitching, and with Price getting another year under his belt, that team should be back to where it was last year

Rays

Yeah, I do think they should continue to be a factor in the East- they still have a great farm system, and a smart GM.

The East is going to be even tougher pretty soon

The Yankees and Sox are going to be there. But you know the Rays have to rebound next year. Not to mention the Orioles with all the young players they have. Hell, even the Blue Jays could have a solid rotation next year if Halladay stays and McGowan and Marcum somehow get healthy again. Glad we’re not in that division.

They do have some damn good...

young talent there.

And their ownership has shown a willingness to spend on FA’s. They could be dangerous in a couple years.

I like tho O's.

I’d love to see a Rangers/O’s ALCS.

Two of my very favorite ballparks.

Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. - Ben quantifies Hank Blalock

Thad Levine

may have a new address before the winter meetings.

That'd really be a big loss?

Well since Nolan does everything

It clearly isn’t a loss at all…

Nightmare scenario

Thad Levine gets job in Toronto.
Convinces JD to trade top Rangers prospects, including Holland and/or Feliz, for Halladay.
Knows our organization inside and out, so he only takes the best prospects, even ones that may not be as highly regarded outside the organization.

by MikeEl on Oct 3, 2009 11:54 AM CDT up reply actions

Not likely

Ownership situation won’t be resolved in time for a Halladay trade this off-season.

I think the only way Halladay gets traded to Texas is in a trade deadline deal next July, assuming new ownership is in place by then.

The nighmare scenario for me would be

if he talked some of the best people in the organization to join him.

hell yes

Anthopolous

is he just interim?

No... for now.

Anthopolous was just on XM radio and said that the job is permanent, pending a new president/CEO of the organization who could go in a different direction.
