Re. Roy Halladay

Something is not right with Doc. Between June 29 and Aug. 19, Halladay was 3-5 with two no-decisions. Last night, despite eight strikeouts, he gave up seven earned runs and eight hits. That's not like him.

Something is bothering him. Is it an injury (re-aggravated the pulled groin)? The trade rumours? The lack of offense? The direction of the club? All of the above?

It's concerning. Very, very concerning.

Re. Alex Rios

The Alex Rios "era" has come to an end. He simply didn't live up to his current contact. Just wasn't hitting the ball the way he should. This was a salary dump, plain and simple. At one time, he put up great numbers. Unfortunately, Rios' stats have dropped. Something had to give...

At least the White Sox have taken over his huge contract. This frees up some cash for the Jays.

And in the end, everyone loses.
