As a Batter's Box Official Minor League Guy or something, that is an extremely un-PC thing to say. But Vegas, New Hampshire and Dunedin all won, while the rest of the affiliates lost. I'm allowed to be a fair-weather minor league updater, right? No? Okay, fine, here are all 6 recaps.Las Vegas 8 at Portland 4Holy RBI, Batman! Brian Dopirak had a huge game, going 2-4 with 2 HRs and seven (7!) RBIs. Yes, that means he hit both a grand slam and a three run jack. The game raised his post-promotion OPS from 734 to 866. Maybe there's something to this kid! (and it should be noted this game was not played in Vegas) So, um, that accounted for most of the runs. Howie Clark got the other RBI, Travis Snider walked twice in 5 trips (and stole a base!), and J.P. Arencibia took an 0-fer.On the mound, T.J. Beam was solid, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits and no walks in 6 innings, and Dirk Hayhurst responded to his demotion by striking out 5 of the 7 batters he faced (including one hit).New Britain 4 at N...

Toronto Blue Jays still not close to trading Roy Halladay
As the Phillies agreed to a deal for left-hander Cliff Lee, the Blue Jays were not close to a deal involving All-Star pitcher Roy Halladay.
Bondy: Omar needs to take a Halladay
You want to get rid of the bad talk, the bleak forecasts, the sense of a franchise adrift? It will take more than a four- or five-game winning streak to do that. You get Roy Halladay, everything is different.
Extra Boost Could Help Braves
Here we are in late July, and with the Phillies considering trading their future for Roy Halladay, it’s time for Sports Illustrated to bring back the same slideshow they’ve used for the last few seasons hailing the “best midseason trades ever.” Of course, Fred “Crime Dog” McGriff, David Cone, and some of the newer guys [...]
Roy Halladay Deal: One Less Horse But a Few More Colts
As a former employee of the Blue Jays and "die-hard" (though I hate that term, it's overused), I'm a little possessive of my Blue Jays, both the players and the franchise itself, which I do not wish to see go the way of the Expo/Dodo.
It's like the age-old gambling argument: Do you bet with your head or with your heart? The head (former employee, pragmatist) says one thing. The...
Report: Rangers still in on Roy Halladay?
According to MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan, the Rangers "still haven't given up hope of acquiring Roy Halladay."
Rowland-Smith in the Seventh
Aaron Hill hits the second pitch of the inning over the glove of a leaping Chris Woodward at short for the Blue Jays first hit of the game. Lind follows with a home run to centerfield and the Blue Jays lead the Mariners 2-1.
Roy Halladay still in play for Rangers, but Jays want Derek Holland, others
A trade for Roy Halladay is still being considered as the deadline nears.
Is it possible for Ruben to still bring in Halladay?
Now I’m just speculating and doubt that it would ever happen at this point. However, looking at the prospects we didn’t give up to get Cliff Lee, a deal for Roy Halladay is certainly possible. The Phillies still have Drabek, Happ, Brown & Taylor who are seen as the top 4 guys in our system.

Yankees facing race for ace against Sox
Both the Yankees and Red Sox have issues to address in their starting rotations, but the prospect of keeping Roy Halladay away from the other team could play as much into the situation as anything for the Blue Jays.
Opinion: Lee, not Halladay, was right fit in Philly
Sporting News: Philadelphia has emerged as the clear favorite to repeat in the National League and has turned up the heat all the way from Toronto to Los Angeles. Trading for Cliff Lee makes so much sense for the Phillies that you wonder why they ever seemed so intent on acquiring Roy Halladay.
Crazy Roy Halladay Trade ProposalJust tossing this out there but if I were the Red Sox GM for today - this is a package I'd offer to Toronto for Roy Halladay. I would offer Clay Buchholtz (everyone has him in a package), Manny Delcarmen or Justin Masterson (JP Riccardi gets to pick one), a lower level prospect and Jonathan Papelbon.Yup - Jonathan Papelbon.That would be the package...
Roy Halladay to the Rangers? Interesting, But I Doubt It
It's been very quiet on the Roy Halladay trading front for a while, but one team still has interest—the Texas Rangers.
Rangers president Nolan Ryan has not been quiet about their interest in Halladay. He has recently been quoted saying, "We are still actively seeking Roy Halladay."
Wouldn't a trade to the Rangers be interesting?
A team that has come out of nowhere, has very little...
