So, it would seem Halladay took too many amphetamines, possibly because he had a problem or an addiction to them like many other Americans, and died as a result of his being high on them and taking the plane out with such a high. Why should that lead to any negative judgment of him? He would seem to have had a problem, and he lost his life for it. Story over. Don't see anything incompatible there with people celebrating his life, celebrating his career, and the Blue Jays retiring his number and giving him a patch.

The only people involved with the Orioles that seem to care about starting young players' service clock are us on this forum.

My first Orioles game was in 1991 at Memorial stadium. I watched Mike Mussina pitch, and I remember finding the game somewhat boring because it was 1-0 until the 7th, when I think we left because it was a weeknight. I was 6 years old. A year later I became an absolute fanatic of Camden Yards, after going to my first game there in 1992 against the Oakland Athletics. I still recall that game with a crystal clear recollection, as if it were one of the transcendent moments of my life...you know, like, a first kiss, or a wedding day, or a first child being born...I remember a few years and a good few (45 min, or worse, depending on traffic) trips to Camden Yards later when our english teacher asked us to think of a sort of 'happy place', a place we felt spiritually connected to, and the first thing that came to mind was Camden Yards. Throughout my adolescence I would pester my parents to make as many trips to Camden Yards per season as possible. The last 7-8 years it's been harder to follow the O's because I live don't live in the U.S. any longer, and games start when I'm typically asleep, but I owe a lot to the OH to keeping me connected to the team, where otherwise my connection might've faded all together.

Elaine pumped about her boys, George and Jerry perhaps a little inordinately sympathetic to the cause.

Walker to Delmarva, Delmonico to Frederick, Townsend to Bowie? Or is that rushing Delmonico? I'd like to see what Walker can do at a higher level; I don't think there's much surprise he's hitting NY-Penn league pitching.

Maybe Paul Goldschmidt is a good comp. for him?

Honest question: do you guys think the Blue Jays have a better team than the O's this year? Everyone seems to be quite high on them as an org., but from what I can tell, I'd take the O's MLB talent over the Blue Jays'. That's just a layman's take, hence why I ask you all.
