This is a very sad time for baseball fans who cared about a great player with the dedication, determination and excellence of Doc Halladay.

But it must be observed that unlike Barry Bonds whose juicing resulted in close to 50 more pounds and different hat and even shoe sizes and changed him from a speedy base stealing doubles hitter to a slow footed home run slugger with double his previous HR production, Clemens looked the same and pitched the same after using HGHs as he had before.  Just saying.

But could we stop parsing every word of posters we don't like long enough to keep from squabbling at such a profoundly sad time for baseball fans and the Halladay family?

Roy "Doc" Halladay was one of and I argue THE greatest home grown pitchers ever produced by the Blue Jays.

Everything else on this sad day is just childish and churlish noise.
