This is Amaro's fault.

There, got it out of my system.

So weird that his first Phillies pc was just four years ago

All questions from Philly writers. Toronto has no media?

Dude was a ferocious competitor. If he's hanging them up, then you know it's time. My only sadness comes from not getting him a ring.

Newfound respect for Ruben. Can you imagine his disdain....

Perhaps he'd make a fine security guard, or kindergarten teacher. He's an atrocious GM.

:cry:

A sad day indeed. Watching Roy Halladay pitch every five days was one of my most enjoyable experiences as a Phillies fan. He will be missed.

He's more likely to sign a security guard, or kindergarten teacher.

This makes my heart hurt. I'm sad he's retiring as a Blue Jay too. Thanks for the memories, Roy.

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.

will you shut the fucking fuck up
