Roy Halladay exits game with Heat Issues

http://florida.marlins.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110718&content_id=21964534&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb

Phillies right-hander Roy Halladay looked absolutely spent when he left in the fifth inning of a 6-1 loss to the Cubs on Monday at Wrigley Field.

Halladay was dealing with issues from the stifling heat. While the temperature at first pitch was recorded at 91 degrees, it felt much hotter with the heat index reportedly approaching 105 degrees.

Halladay, who was examined by the Cubs' physician, was unavailable for comment after the game, but he told a team spokesman that he "absolutely" plans to make his next start.

He looked horrible last night. He needed something else to cool him down in between innings. Yikes. Poor guy

1. Each and every player on both sides had to deal with the heat

But only Halladay couldn't deal with it. So he'd better find another way to cool down because it's supposed to be hot for a while.

3. Heat's usually not a big problem in October.

2. Ah, he had a little heat exhaustion

I thought for a second "Heat issues" meant he folded in the 4th quarter. Hope he feels better (and I hope it cools off a little).
