ROY HALLADAY MANIA!!
Jeez, just about everything was Halladay related.
Carson Cistulli at fangraphs explains to you nerds why Halladay goes deep into games, and he uses nerd words to do it! If you only read one article this AM cover to cover, this is the one.
If all we do is comment about Murph's faux hawk today I will consider this first daily links for me a rousing success.
Good Todd. I was getting concerned that people were getting concerned...
The only stuff I could find not related to Roy Halladay
Giants Honor Burrell, Phillies next
"I saw Mike Lieberthal and Doug Glanville do it," Burrell, 35, said before Tuesday’s game. "It’s a special deal. I feel fortunate they even asked me to do it."
Insert dirty sanchez joke here.
Phils have 4 picks in the top 100
Raj: Ed? Google if we can trade draft picks at the deadline.
Ed: We can't
Raj: You sure? Google it.
Ed: We can't

Seriously. He can do THAT from centerfield, but he couldn't throw a strike?
I'm now reminded of this fascinating Pat Jordan piece from the NY Times on Ankiel from back in 2001. Its a long read, but worth it. Especially 10 years later...
Chipper on his rivalry with The LOLMETS
When the Mets said they were going to acknowledge you, it set off a firestorm in New York.
"I got an email. It was from a guy that calls himself 'Barstool.' It had made the rounds through some of my friends. And it finally got back to me. And it was colorful, let's put it that way. He let everybody know what he thought. I thought it was kind of funny."
Before you ask, No, I am not Barstool, and Yes, he is my idol.
