I'm a Phillies fan,
we may be close to getting Halladay from the Jays.
if the deal goes down there might a dynasty in Philly
I'm a lifelong Cardinals fan (favorite player: Ozzie Smith). Halladay would be a HELL of a pickup for you guys.
...I prefer a man who will burn the flag and then wrap himself in the Constitution to a man who will burn the Constitution and then wrap himself in the flag.
Braves fan so I can't exactly say I'm happy about you guys getting Halladay, especially when it looks like the Braves are starting to show signs of becoming a good team again.
Favorite player: I'm split between several
Favorite Braves Player: Bryan McCann
Favorite pitcher: I like Halladay alot. Smoltz still holds a place up there from his Braves days and though now retired Maddux.
Favorite Braves Pitcher: Right now I have high hopes for Tommy Hanson.

Doubt the Jays will trade Halladay, period. They'll lose him to free agency, though.

Well it happened. I have been hearing a lot about "why trade Halladay?" Well if the team feels that they can't get him back as a free agent might as well get something for him before he goes off.

Greg Maddux was an exemplary player and person. A true pitcher, rather than a thrower like many are.

Yes Maddux had the most wicked movement to his fastball and his carreer ERA with Atlanta was exceptionally low at 2.63 (it might be 2.64) from 1993-2003.
Pinpoint accuracy too and about as smart with his placement as any pitcher out there.

Detroit just rallied in the 9th to tie Chicago, then beat them in the 10th on a Carlos Guillen single, scoring Clete Thomas. 3 game lead now for the Tigers!
