THE INCREDIBLE STUNNING PERFORMANCE OF ROY HALLADAY'S 14 STRIKEOUT NIGHT
"ROY HALLADAY HAS ETCHED A NEW CAREER HIGH IN STRIKEOUTS HERE IN THE TOP OF THE NINTH WITH TWELVE!
AND NOW TORRI HUNTER IS BLOWN AWAY BY A CUTTER, THIRTEEN STRIKEOUTS!
CAN THE DOCTOR STRIKEOUT THE SIDE IN THE NINTH INNING?
AND THE REASON HE'S STILL PITCHING, EVEN THOUGH HE'S THROWN OVER 125 PITCHES IS BECAUSE OF HIS 65 NO-DECISIONS CAREER, 32 HAVE BEEN BLOWN SAVES BY THE BULLPEN, including that ugly loss in Baltimore last Thursday.
THE FANS ARE ON THEIR FEET AS ROY HALLADAY HAS BEEN THE MAN SAVE A SEVENTH INNING FOUR RUN BLUNDER, AND NOW HALLADAY IS ONE STRIKE AWAY FROM A FOURTEENTH STRIKEOUT TONIGHT!?
OH, AND HE JUST MISSED IT, OUTSIDE IS THE CALL.
FULL COUNT, AND THE PAYOFFFFFFFFFF STRIKEOUT NUMBER FOURTEEN FOR ROY, AND THE JAYS WIN! 14 STRIKEOUTS IN A 6-4 WIN!"
THE MACHINE. WHAT A MACHINE.
ON THE BOTTOM OF THE ORDER
Damn. The top of the order, one thru five musters two hits, and the six thru nine just do all the damage, producing five RBIs and five runs!
IT DOESN'T GET ANY EASIER IN THE SERIES, BUT WE BELIEVE IN CASEY JANSSEN AND BRIAN TALLET
These guys are gamers, and they're up against Jered Weaver and John Lackey, but don't let the names scare you. Janssen and Tallet are just as capable of competing with these two hurlers, and it just may eventually come down to a battle of the bullpens! Remember battle of the bands as a teenager? This is going to be fun as hell! And Toronto's got their own Jack Black in Snakeface Scotty Downs!
Besides, there's alot of confidence in Casey Janssen- everyone remembers him as an amazing bullpen pitcher in 2007 where he just tore up major league hitters- and few have forgotten just how good he is.
Also, Brian Tallet, save one bad start has been absolutely sensational. So hey, these are really Toronto's three best pitchers right now going up against the Angels, including Halladay.
I want to include Richmond on the list, but the double off-days got his start skipped which is really too bad, because the results could have been so different Sunday if Romero had not pitched.
However, I guess Cito felt that he needed Romero to pitch on regular rest in order to try and bring him back to his former dominant self earlier in the season.
You have to remember that Romero's far more touch and feel than Richmond. Scotty Richmond will be just fine and should have a good outing against the KC Royals Saturday!
20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ROGERS CENTRE
They're giving out little Rogers Centre replicas on Sunday, and I want one. But I can't go to any of the games this weekend, which upsets me. I'll be camping on the shores of Lake Erie, and then I have a weird family function on the Sunday that I have to drive about three hours to get to. That being said, there will be no bloggage this weekend.
