If there was ever a better chance

To get Roy Halladay it will be this upcoming week.  The Phillies have two more games against Arizona one tonight and one tomorrow night.  After that they fly to San Fran to the Bay Area to open up a series with the Giants Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  Ironically the Toronto Blue Jays will be playing against Oakland A’s that week to.  And want to talk even more bizarre?  Both teams are staying in the SAME HOTEL.  Its like, Ok Roy trade done…walk downstairs to your new team!  LOL  But no really if there was ever a time it would be then I think.  Even though today is the DEADLINE that the Blue Jays have set.

Heres to wishful thinking!

Heres what Yahoo.com had to say about him

Halladay on Monday afternoon here walked around with a binder under his arm, attended a mid-afternoon pitchers’ meeting, plucked a piece of gum from a small bucket in the clubhouse and declined to address his status as The Only Person Anyone in Baseball is Talking About.

Asked if he’d heard anything from general manager J.P. Ricciardi, Halladay grinned and said, “Nope. Nothing.”

And that was that.
While the official non-waiver trading deadline is 4 p.m. ET Friday, the official Halladay trading deadline is Tuesday evening, according to Ricciardi, though not a single GM in the game seems to believe he’ll hold to that. Apparently we’ll go at least into that final day, as Ricciardi had not approached Halladay about waiving his no-trade rights as of Monday evening.

The Blue Jays go from here to a weekend series in Oakland, interesting because the Philadelphia Phillies begin a four-game series in San Francisco on Thursday. Unintended but potentially convenient, the Phillies and Blue Jays will stay in the same downtown San Francisco hotel, meaning if Halladay is traded to the Phillies on Thursday or Friday he won’t even have to change pillow cases.
