Looks like the Phils are about to add Pedro Martinez to the fold. The big question is whether that takes them out of the Roy Halladay sweepstakes. Try not to watch tonight as the ace of the Blue Jays staff – and apple of the Philllies’ eyes – takes the hill as the AL starter.

I Don’t Get It: Sad to think that it takes money for people to come forward and offer information in a case in which a 17-year-old kid was gunned down on the street.
*
Today’s Upper: Let’s hear it for Charlie Manuel and the five Phillies who will be making St. Louis kind of like Philly west tonight for the All-Star game.
