The Phils revealed today that Pedro Martinez will start game 3 of the Phils NLDS tomorrow in Colorado. I don't think there is anything particulary wrong with Happ, but I guess Charlie didn't want to chance anything. However, considering Joe Blanton will be available to pitch out of the bullpen, while Happ won't, it seems J.A will start game 4 perhaps. As for game 3, Pedro has a load of experience starting huge games in the playoffs for the Red Sox at every stage and of course he was on the roster for those New York Mets a few years ago, but was coming off an injury and never got into games. So this should not faze him at all, nor should the rumored cold, snowy weather, and you would expect him to be able to get the job done, but we'll see.

Well the Pedro of now isnt as good as Pedro of old but he seems to have done ok in regular season so I'm just hoping for the best.
