has been waiting for this opportunity for a long, long time.
He gets the ball at home in front of arguably the best playoff atmosphere in baseball. He will not disappoint. He has a favorable matchup against an overmatched team. in all phases.
yea, all this talk of halladay never being in the playoffs is stupid. He is the type of pitcher who works his butt off to do the best possible and no pitcher in the league works harder. he has been waiting for this moment for everyone of his 320 starts of his career and there is no way in hell he is going to let it get away from him. Also volquez AND cueto AND most of their bullpen has never pitched in the postseason before and don't have nearly as much experience as halladay. the phils, behind halladay, will send a quick and stern message to the young reds today.
