So it's been a somewhat busy 16 hours since we left Great American Ballpark last night.

Wes Helms has been traded. Apparently the Marlins needed a veteran third baseman/first baseman for their kiddie lineup.

Sometime on Saturday (the deal was announced by Phillies officials at 10 p.m. - AKA 'happy hour' for the scribes); The Phils sent Helms and cash for a player to be named later.

So that's that. The Wes Helms era is officially over. Godspeed, Wesley.

Back in the Phillies clubhouse, the tattooed, mohawk-wearing ace is gearing up for his second start of the season. Brett Myers lasted just five innings on Opening Day.

Afterward, the 27-year-old was honest, saying he pitched "like crap."

Will Myers pitch like an ace today? Three weeks ago today he threw seven strong innings, allowing just two runs on five hits, against these same Reds in Sarasota.

The game: The Phils let a 'game of inches' slip by in Cincy.

The notes: The new Durbinator hasn't lacked for work.

The Sunday column: Isn't there at least the chance Lidge won't be that great?

I'm not sure if I was necessarily a fan of Charton Heston's acting abilities, but he provided some of the best, all-time movie lines. And if nothing else, you have t give the man credit for the delivery - he said it like he meant it.

Heston died yesterday at the age of 84. With that, the return of Sunday's YouTube Clip of the Week.
