Shane said on SportsRise that he rode an elevator with Roy and said he'd love to be his teammate someday, and Roy shook his head and smiled.

(No word if he gave him macadamia nuts too)

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Halladay stopped short of specifically commenting on the Cardinals as his next potential destination, but acknowledged knowing Carpenter's thoughts.

"Everybody raves about it here," Halladay said about four hours before Tuesday night's start. "I know how he feels and how much he loves it. That's from conversations we've had in the past. We haven't really discussed it recently."
.
.
.
one Cardinals source suggested this week, "We may be able to give up an arm or a leg. But we're not going to sacrifice the whole body" in a trade.

Pressed on St. Louis as a potential destination, Halladay said, "I just hate to say. I really do. It's not because I don't want to go to a certain place. Out of respect to Toronto, I'd just as soon not put the cart before the horse. It's just kind of a tough situation."

The Blue Jays coveted infielder Brett Wallace before the Cardinals took him in the first round of the 2007 amateur draft. Wallace currently is the Cardinals' top prospect. The Jays apparently expect major league-ready pitching in any package for Halladay, which poses a serious challenge to the Cardinals.

Another quote from Roy:

"As soon as I get home, I'm done talking it. I think we all have responsibilities and it was mine to address the situation. Now that I have answered the questions, I can move on and go home and get back to normal."

The weather in St. Louis isn't all that great--it's pretty hot and humid. And there are tornados and shit. Frankly, it's not all that much different than Philly, but there's no beach to escape to.

My wife and I were actually there last weekend and I can attest to the hot and humid.

It felt like the worst Philly day in August. Haze covered the city. It was gross.

Supposedly, crime wise, the city is on par with Camden and Detroit.

One day at the entrance to heaven, St. Peter saw a New York street gang walk up to the Pearly Gates. This being a first, St. Peter ran to God and said...

Blue Jays assistant GM Tony LaCava was in Lakewood Monday night, presumably watching D'Arnaud.

I can't wait for this press conference. It is awesome seeing Pedro with a Phils cap. Roy will be just as good.

I stopped because I didn't want to get punched in the jaw. :wink:

It's a terrible joke, but here you go:

..."God, there are some evil, thieving New Yorkers at the Pearly Gates. What do I do?"
God replied, "Just do what you normally do with that type. Re-direct them down to hell."
St. Peter went back to carry out the order and all of a sudden he comes running back yelling "God, God, they're gone, they're gone!"
"Who, the New Yorkers?"
"No, the Pearly Gates."

Ha ha! So, it's not a great joke, but I just couldn't be left in suspense. Thanks!
