Halladay in Relief
Rain forced both Kyle Kendrick and Shaun Marcum out of the Toronto-Philadelphia game early. So with the game on the line in the bottom of the sixth, the Blue Jays brought in Roy Halladay with two outs. He gave Toronto 2 1/3 innings of scoreless ball, throwing only 23 pitches. His next start would be on Tuesday because of the day off tomorrow. With the day off, they can go to McGowan on Tuesday and come back with Roy on Wednesday. With only 23 pitches today, he might even be able to come back Tuesday!
Howard and Burrell both homered in the 6-5 loss. That gives the Phillies three players with at least 10 home runs.

Shawn Marcum was mentioned as another possibility as he only threw 1 inning today.
Roy Halladay in relief!!!
Gibbons likes to work those arms....

Burnett and McGowan are the ones Gibbons has to be careful with. In fact, isn't Burnett due for his annual stint on the DL about now? I struggle to think of a pitcher in AAA they can bring up and expect league average or better production.
Granted, the rain, but sum it up two ways;
Charlie stayed with Durbin long enough to get burned and,
they've got to be able to get dum-dums like Barajas out.
