Doc throws a complete game against us and The King goes on the DL…in looking back at the trade posts, imagine what kind of haul Toronto could get for Halladay…

gwangung –
its not really all that impressive either if you consider that they went against those pitchers and the offenses that support them. Turns out our offense is better than SD’s. Woooo.

My first game at safeco was a Roy Halladay complete game. Little did I know that I was watching that year's Cy Young winner, not to mention what a Cy Young even is...

Yeah, Roy Halladay is good if you like complete game shutouts and Cy Young awards.

But you know who else is also good? William Bloomquist.

He got a hit off Halladay, but was skillful enought to make it only a single so that his consecutive games streak without an XBH continues.

History in the making….

There are VERY few pitchers I slap the title “Ace” onto. Roy Halladay is one of them.

I’ve always been a big fan of Halladay, so getting shut out by him is nothing to be embarrassed about.

LL says that Felix is hitting the DL….sad face.

The list left out one team, in a manner of speaking (TOR: 2). Other than Halladay, Dustin McGowan and Jesse Litsch have one each for the Blue Jays. McGowan also got his against the Mariners, as you may remember.

Dave — definitely that too. That’s amazing that he hasn’t reached 120 on the count in any of those games.

And I agree — he’s awesome. Absolutely deadly when he’s on his game…which is often.

It’s not endurance, it’s efficiency. His complete game pitch totals have been 110, 117, 107, 112, 104, and now 115 pitches.

Strikes and groundballs are a great combination for getting through nine innings often.

I know there’s that general line of thinking these days that “the complete game is obsolete,” but the old-schooler in me thinks that Halladay’s durability is pretty darned impressive.
