Shame he cost us so many games pitching hurt. Still, I guess it balanced out, all in all.

RIP

Roy Halladay probabaly wanted to sign a one day contract with the Phillies but all Amaro would offer was a three year deal with a vesting option.

Had a 5.15 ERA over his last 38 starts / 218 IP. Made $40M for that. Wants to retire/go to Hall of Fame? as a Blue Jay.

I'm less sad to see him retire than I was to watch him sweat/pitch the last couple of years.

I'm intrigued at what Amaro can do with the $20M saved.... haha, just kidding.

Some of you are the worst.
Dude tried pitching through a career ending injury. "Waaahh, he cost our shitty team some games."

pretty sure swish is kidding and Shore is just saying why it's appropriate for him to be a Blue Jay

There was more than them

eh, just Loblaw I guess

It's amazing how condensing it to 5 and a half minutes makes it seem like it's no big deal, pretty easy to do.

All I said was that it's a bit of a slap in the face for him to sign as a Blue Jay. Never said anything about him costing us games.

Your comment was worse. How is it a slap in the face?

His first playoff start is the best time I've ever had at the ballpark, and the 2011 game 7 loss to the Cardinals is the best pitched game I've ever seen live (both ways, unfortunately).

He helped make us a legitimate destination, and I'm thankful for that.

But he pitched 3 times as much for the Blue Jays as he did for us, and was hurt and sucked for 50% of his time here. If Cole Hamels pitches here through his contract, and spends 2020-2023 with the Mets, 2 years dominant and 2 years hurt, I'd punch every Mets fan I know in the face for wondering if he'd retire a Met or a Phillie.

And it isn't Roy's fault, but the point to him being here was to win a World Series, and we failed. He was involved in both near-misses, with the Cody Ross 2-homer game in game 1 of the 2010 NLCS, and the 2011 game 7 referenced above. But he isn't to blame - he pitched brilliantly in game 7, just was 2nd-best. Not sure I don't still hold a grudge for the Elft Fielder game, though.

Well this blows. Philadelphia will miss you, Doc!

Even if you are going to retire a Blue Jay, which really nobody should be surprised by.

Doctors need to stop wasting time on cancer and figure out shoulder injuries.

It's on CSN and MLB Network if you have any access to those

Doc says his shoulder feels great, but he has serious back problems.

Doc is the man

I am so sick of this
