Best news I've heard all day

I'll admit it - it's a slow news day.

The Toronto Blue Jays locked up the face of the franchise Thursday, extending ace Roy Halladay's contract through 2010.

The 28-year-old right-hander signed a $40-million US, three-year extension which will pay him $10 million in 2008, $14.25 million in 2009 and $15.75 million in 2010.

Halladay's current deal, a $42-million, four-year contract signed in January 2004, had two more seasons left on it. He's due to make $12.7 million this season and $12.8 million the next.

General manager J.P. Ricciardi had said during spring training that extending Halladay's contract had become a top priority for him.

Make some news up then. Call it a “developing story”. No one will be the wiser. 8^)
