TORONTO -- Roy Halladay was on the mound for Toronto on Tuesday, but when exactly he'd be making his next start was still up in the air until he picked up his sixth win of the season. After the victory over Tampa Bay, Toronto manager John Gibbons said he'd be giving his staff ace an extra day of rest in order to have him pitch the opener of a three-game series against Boston on Monday.
The alternative was to have Halladay stick to his usual five-day schedule and pitch the finale of a three-game set against the White Sox on Sunday afternoon. Instead, Gibbons will send rookie Ty Taubenheim to the mound against Chicago to give Halladay the added rest.
Farmer isn't very good, and Singleton flat out sucks. I know I should give him time, but this is pathetic. I'd rather follow the game through Gamecenter then listen to this garbage.
Does anyone know when "first pitch" is for the next three games. I know Fox's coverage starts at 7pm tonight, but I'm hoping to avoid their miserable pregame show if I can.
I'd love to get Walker. My ideal line-up VS. RHP
Pods
Rowand
Walker
Kong
Everett
Dye
Perz
Crede (when healthy)
Uribe
I think that has a nice balance to it.

Uribe is the model of consistency. He always sucks this year.
Whoops. This is the reply I was laughing at.

I did look at his swing, that's why I said what I said.
I do agree with fathom though, the inconsistency of Rowand and Uribe are two big reasons for the problem. Uribe was inconsistent last year too.
I needed a laugh today, thanks!
