That's what I'm saying, guy…

Halladay's last game as a Jay, yet again

Goodbye Roy Halladay. Hopefully that means I’ll see you in April, but I’m prepared for the worst. Doc made what could’ve been his last start at Rogers Centre as a Blue Jay last night (though we’ve heard that one before), tossing a seven-hit shutout in Toronto’s 4-0 win over Seattle. Halladay was his masterful self, striking out nine and walking none to win his 16th game of the year.

To be completely honest, I’m on the fence when it comes to dealing Doc. If the Jays are serious about upping their payroll next season, then I’m all for bringing him back and taking another shot at re-signing him. If they’re not, then there’s no better time to rebuild than now, with a young core of Aaron Hill, Travis Snider, Adam Lind and Ricky Romero already in place.

The Jays, by the way, added another win this afternoon, dropping the Mariners 5-4 on Lind’s walk-off homer in the tenth. Lind also hit a two-run bomb in the eighth to tie things at four. David Purcey returned to his shaky form, giving up nine hits and three runs before leaving with the bases loaded and one out in the sixth. Jason Frasor got the win, tossing two perfect innings and striking out four.

The Jays — 5-1 on the current homestand — close out their home schedule tomorrow afternoon with Brian Tallet facing Ryan Rowland-Smith.
