Thanks for the memories, Roy!

Roy Halladay was traded today to the Philadelphia Phillies for top prospects in a 3-team trade that also involved Cliff Lee and the Seattle Mariners. It's a sad day for the Blue Jays franchise as we traded away the best player we've ever produced within our farm system. I'm sad to see him go, but for the past few months, I've already come to the conclusion that it is the best for the Jays if we traded Roy for prospects, and that has finally come. I wish him all the best (Phillies World Series champs in 2010?!) because he's such an amazing player and also an amazing person and role model for the Jays franchise. He was pretty much the only reason I would go to watch the Jays at the Skydome / Rogers Centre. Thanks, Roy, for all the strikeouts, shutouts, complete games, the amazing 1-hitter, and all the other memories you gave us Jays fans!
