Damnit, That Game Took FOREVER

Well, it's another disappointing outing from the Jays' worst pitcher, Roy Halladay. Not only was he horrible, like usual, but he was also so slow. God Halladay, get your act together... you don't even have a complete game yet!

In all seriousness, Halladay was great like usual, throwing the full 9 innings, only throwing 99 pitches and it all took less than 2 hours. In his 5th complete game of the year, he allowed only 5 hits and one run, dipping his ERA below 4.00. Oddly, he only struck out 2 batters, but that really just kept his pitch-count down. The offense wasn't bad, either, although they only had 8 hits and two runs, they kept the line moving as well as possible. The Angels' defence definitely helped, though, having commited 4 errors. Rios had 3 singles and a run-- oh, and was caught stealing.

In other news, Troy Glaus was out of the lineup for a second straight day with a hurting foot. Why does God hate the Jays? Right when he starting coming out of his slump his foot starts hurting and he can't play. Why?!?! Now Hector Luna, the equivalent to the 2006 Russ Adams, is playing third base; how humiliating.

Chone Figgins looks like Tupac, that's all I'm sayin'...


The Good

We won versus a great AL West team, which we don't do that well.

Roy Halladay was excellent, showing that he's still capable of winning awards for his pitching; what a cool guy. He got his league-leading 5th complete game as well.

The defence was a complete turn-around; it was pretty damn good compared to the 3-error game last night against the Royals.

Rios went 3-for-4 and is batting .636 (7-for-11) in his last 3 games. He hasn't gone two straight games without a hit since July 15th in Boston.

The Bad

There wasn't much, except that we didn't score past the first inning... we really didn't need to though.

The Ugly

Nada.
