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

Says the guy with 35000 posts.

And, "No."

i'm with you. further proof of how much of a crap shoot the playoffs are and how much life sucks

"I think the one thing I took away from that is you can have the best team on paper, you can have the guys who want it the most," Halladay said. "But when the squirrel runs across home plate while your team is trying to pitch, there is nothing you can do about that. So you really start to realize there are a lot of things out of your control. It takes more than nine guys. It takes nine guys, and it takes the 25 on the roster. It takes the coaches, the staff, and it takes a lot of luck."

Yea, I mean, we won 97 and 102 games in 2010 and 2011. Sometimes things just don't break for you in the playoffs. 2011 was the big heartbreaker for me when we COULDN'T SCORE A FUCKING RUN in Game 5. Sorry, I'm still bitter.

Someday, if things break just right, the phils may be fortunate enough to be able to attract a player of that caliber to their organization
