Please respect the implied moratorium on discussions of the Maple Leaves or Sundins on the blog. <BR/><BR/>Don't make this a habit.<BR/><BR/>Aside from that, there no real sense in going after Holliday this season as he would be able to walk afterwards and they'd have to give up a mint to get him. (Think "Travis Snider" to start.)<BR/><BR/>Can you imagine, though, what would happen to the hockey pucks in the Toronto sports media if there was a "Halladay" and a "Holliday" on the same team?

That's fair, right? I mean, aren't we all frustrated as fuck just from watching this team?<BR/><BR/>Doc needs to be a Jays lifer, and thus management owes it to him to do everything they can to win now. If the plan is to blow it up and rebuild, you owe it to the guy to move him to a team that plans on contending.... as much as even the thought of that scenario instinctively activates my gag reflex.The Ackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374953233006854310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-63293987838077277352008-07-15T13:33:00.000-04:002008-07-15T13:33:00.000-04:00Are you fuckin' kidding me?
