2K Sports predicts Halladay will win Cy Young Award tomorrow

New York, NY – November 15, 2010– 2K Sports announced today that they have named Philadelphia Phillies™ ace pitcher, Roy Halladay, as the cover athlete for their upcoming video game Major League Baseball® 2K11, the next iteration of the popular Major League Baseball 2K series. Halladay, who this season became one of only 20 pitchers in Major League Baseball history to throw a perfect game, continues 2K Sports’ tradition of bringing today’s premier players to the most realistic sports simulation titles available.

I understand the umpires in major league baseball are inferior. We have to move on from that and so do the players. The fact that Ryan Howard was incensed about a called strikeout off a legal check swing is not surprising, since he did the same thing on the previous pitch, but what fans aren’t talking about is the fact that he was mouthing off at each call and then he tossed his bat. That got him tossed from the game. What was also surprising was the fact that he had to be held back by three of his teammates and he never calmed down. He should get a suspension for that. Yes it was a bad call but those are the breaks.

If the proposed deal for Roy Oswalt comes through that will effectively end the New York Mets season and that would make the Philadelphia Phillies a huge contender once again. Here’s the thank you part, with this move, the Mets will realize that changes are necessary and even though they should have, but didn’t make them this season, they will surely make them next season. By changes I mean firing Jerry Manuel and his entire staff and firing Omar Minaya.

There are some teams out there that have some issues but so far they are being downplayed because it’s spring training. The 2010 season opens April 5th so the time for experimenting should almost be over.
