Roy Halladay may not have been his most effective (6 IP, 6 H, 2 ER), but it was enough to pick up the W in the Phillies 4-2 and move the series back to Philadelphia. Halladay gutted it out despite a groin pull which saw his fastball velocity drop and his stellar command go wonky, but it was enough to beat the Giants. Halladay was like an Old Western gunfighter that has been shot in the belly, but knows he must save the kind-hearted women at the saloon/brothel from the pillaging menace. With penicillin having not been invented yet, the gunfighter must fire his last bullets while dying a slow and painful death. Just like tonight. Here is a small sampling of other injuries that Halladay would have pitched through: Elbow soreness Strained oblique Kidney stones Swollen spleen Migraine headaches Shoulder tear Elbow pop Explosive diarrhea Torn ACL Pulled hamstring A bewildering sense of Deja Vu Gunshot wound to the face Roy Oswalt will get the start on Saturday in Philadelphia where he is 10-0 as the defending NL champs look to force a game seven against this hodge podge band of thong wearing upstarts.  (Robert Meggers/Getty Images)
