in fact , the only pitchers i'd throw in there as possible pitchers of the decade along with halladay are tim hudson and cc sabathia. santana would be 4th.
actually roy oswalt could be listed as 2nd best .
You just named Roy Oswalt over Randy Johnson and Roger Clemens as best pitcher in the 2000's. Case is closed, you have no idea what you're talking about. Discussion over. Randy Johnson pitching in his mid to late 30's and still winning 3 Cy Youngs and Oswalt had a better decade? Good grief.
i dont care about johnson's 3 cy youngs . from 2003 on he was 79-60 . hardly someone i would clasify as pitcher of the decade.
clemens is a cheater and didnt pitch in 2008 ,2009 or 2010 . he had 107 wins in the 2000's . again i'll take halladay and oswalt and their 160-79 and 150-83 records for the decade. and oswalt's record includes a 13-13 year with a 2.76 era... nice run support... who doesnt know what they are talking about ?
halladay will be awarded his 2nd cy young this year..
Seriously drop your argument WNO, you were owned. You can't consider someone a pitcher of the decade & discredit part of it for some pitchers but not others. That right there shows your argument is without merit. His Halladay a great pitcher? Absolutely without question, but to just hand him pitcher of the decade when others have put up similar or better numbers is beyond ludicrous.

You are something else and by naming Roy Oswalt as a better pitcher than RJ and Clemens you all but admit you're a basball retard.

wow doc gets no respect from some of you....oswalt C'MON MAN doc will be top 15 easy by the end of his career and felix would be 26 -3 lol he was a 500 pitcher this year because his team couldn't score well the phils had a lot of problems scoring for halladay and he still won 20...
he faced the yanks, sox and even the rays the last couple of seasons and he was still dominant he got no recognition because he played in t.o. but yankee and sox fans will tell you he is a great one francona called him "cy young" after a game a few years back in mid summer.... I think he's better than rj not maddux and definitely schillng you've probably watched him pitch 2-3 games because you have no clue what you r talking about..
lets hear from some yankee and sox fans who have watched him pitch and we'll see what they think about doc..
felix hernandez lol..... you have problems
take any pitcher you want during the time frame of 2000 thru 2010 . which are the years i have only been talking about. then go ahead and grab the best 7 or 8 years any of those pitchers had during that time frame. halladays best 8 years 138-61 2.93 era. hell , 2000 and 2001 he only had 29 total starts.
clemens 107 wins beat that easily... ya right.. johnson 143-78 beats that too ... not.. johnson's best years were 1993-2002 . he had to join the yankees in 2005 and 2006 so he could win while allowing 5 earned runs a game.
For your information, I am a Yankees fan & have seen Halladay pitch. He is a great pitcher, no question. However your argument has been shot down legitimately. When you say pitcher of the decade, that is all 10 years, not just the best 7 or 8 to help your argument. Go ask players who they feared facing or was more dominant, Johnson or Halladay. I can guarantee they would say Johnson. Hell Johnson & C.S. won a World Series alone practically against the Yankees, he was that good.

i understand that . those years would also include johnson's 29-27 record for 2003,7,8,9. johnson could be labled the best from 1993 to 2002 . not 2000-2010.
so now its who they feared which determines best pitcher of 2000-2010 ? i thought record would be the number one factor . thanks for correcting me.
