Philadelphia Philles turn to J.A. Happ for delayed Game 3 instead of Pedro Martinez

"It's been 10 or 11 days since Pedro Martinez pitched in a game. And also, the weather had something to do with it."
-- Phillies manager Charlie Manuel

Happ gets Game 3 nod; Pedro to bullpen

The Philadelphia Phillies figured a well-rested Pedro Martinez would be the best option to start Game 3.

That was before snow and bitter cold in Denver forced Saturday's postponement of their series with the Colorado Rockies.

Changing course but not conviction, Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said rookie J.A. Happ would take the mound when the series resumes Sunday at 10:07 p.m. ET.

8. No worries

I accidentally fell asleep in the 6th inning and it was only 9-something here in AZ. I woke up in the middle of the night wondering WTF? Did the Rockies win? I turned on Sportscenter and saw the loss and have been up ever since.
