If this trading Roy Halladay happens, Im done. I have been a fan since I can remember watching baseball in the early to mid 80's and I have thought long and hard about what it means and while I can see both sides as far as keeping vs. trading our ace, I will simply say that to me you can not trade Roy Halladay and expect to keep myself and Im sure others as fans of the Toronto Blue Jays.

First off he is the face of the friggin franchise, trading him would be like trading Dave Steib or George Bell in their primes or releasing Joe Carter after 1993.

In short, Roy Halladay is the best player ever to dawn a Blue Jays uniform. How can an organization hungry for fans to sit inside a half empty stadium do that to its fan base?

I was actually considering buying tickets for a game coming up but honestly, Im holding off until I see what the organization does. If the organization decides to trade him, unless you are getting superstar, impact players in return, you might as well trade me along with him. Im done, I am done rooting for and wasting my hard earned money on the Toronto Blue Jays franchise.

A month and a half ago you had a team that was in first place by three games and needing only a deal to bolster the pitching and acquire a bat. You also had a team that was beginning to generate some buzz. Now, the team sits in 4th place with a huge hill to climb and the only thing being generated is the puke in my mouth every time I see this team lose. Trying to deal a month ago would have sparked the team, now you have to sell because of your inaction earlier when it could have stabilized and kept the team near to or on top of the division.

For this JP I say you need to be fired, nothing short of that will keep me as a fan of your mismanaged franchise. I have my back up team waiting and the nice thing is, they have a prayer in their division on a yearly basis. Maybe if you didn't sign Vernon Wells to an obscene contract you could scrape together enough for an extension for Halladay.

If Halladay is traded, Im going with the Atlanta Braves. They don't trade away their best players, they add players when they need them to secure the playoffs and they have a respectable front office willing to spend enough to win and ultimately make their fan base happy. Cito, do yourself a favor, get out now while the getting is good, if Doc is traded the ship is going to sink and JP should go down with it. As for me, the next time I am at Roger's Centre for a game could be wearing a Braves cap during interleague play. Sorry Toronto but I can't stomach the crap anymore.
