Roy "Doc" Halladay Retiring today

[dem bath salts]

First Ballot HOF'er

 

[THASTUNNA]

damn... I thought he would bounce back.. Great career

 

[Dr. Fauci]

Will never forget the perfect game he threw in the playoffs

 

[phillycavsfan]

Easy to forget that not only did he throw a no hitter in the playoffs, but Game 5 of the 2011 NLDS he gave up 1 run in 8 innings.

Not his fault the Phils couldn't hit Chris Carpenter.

 

[AAKing23]

The gawd It seems like it was only yesterday he was throwing perfect games and no hitters. But I knew once he started getting brutalized on the mound something was wrong.

 

[mozichrome]

damn son

 

[Food Mane]

Best pitcher I ever had the pleasure of seeing. Looks like he will enter the hall as Blue Jay

 

[SoulController]

great player, sad he had nothing left this year but he tried

easily 1st ballot, dominant for a decade

 

[the cool]

Thought his was about the movie tombstone

 

[Miggs]

Dayum shame the Jays couldnt have put one contending team around him in his prime...

never got to see Roy pitch a playoff game in a Jays uni

 

[Doctor Wily]

Dominated those stacked Yankees & Redsox line-ups from 2004-2008

That alone deserves a few extra first place ballots

 

[Leonard Washington]

 

[Jerz-2]

a great pitcher, wish he could have gotten a ring

he so committed to excellence that he aint even tryna be a bum on a championship squad....

If ONLY he would have gotten here ONE YEAR EARLIER.....

to my GOAT 1st starter (all respect due to Schmiddy).

We'll always have that perfect game, Roy (how crazy is THAT? Your first ever postseason game is a no-hitter...)

On the plus side, this clears up salary room.

 

[dj-method-x]

how the hell did the phillies get bounced in the 1st Round of the playoffs with Doc, Hamels, Lee and Oswalt as their rotation? Jesus....

 

[FaTaL]

Shame how he's going out, but he had a great career.

how else was it going to end unless he retired in his prime?
