I never thought I’d be writing about Roy Halladay this much post-retirement, but right now the man is a blog-making machine. After taking the #IceBucketChallenge and challenging none other than the city’s most hated figure at the moment, Ruben Amaro, Halladay went back to Twitter to defend his former employer [Tweet was deleted, so relying on retweets to read it]:

Rule number one in the Tens of Millions Club: never say anything bad about the guy who paid you tens of millions. That’s it. That’s literally the only rule. Fight Club had more rules.

After responses like this and this, the good Doctor realized he opened up the wrong wound and promptly deleted the Tweets, explaining it away by saying, “Have a new setup to social media, few issues figuring them out!” Nice. Better than the hacked defense.

Roy followed up:

I’m a positive person, too, so I think it would be JUST GREAT if we could spit-roast Ruben Amaro (under a non-injurious heat lamp, of course– I’M NOT A MONSTER!).
