Pedro Martinez's agent is apparently in discussions with the Phillies about the former ace returning to the big leagues. Since Pedro and Don Zimmer are both old men at this point, maybe now they can have a fair fight. 

FRIDAY

First pitch: The Cards and Cubs get the NL slate underway with a Wrigley matinee at 2:20 p.m. ET, while AL action begins with a pair of games at boring old 7:05. Here's the full schedule.

Pitcher to start: Not this time, John Lannan. We're 50-52.

Tonight, we'll take Nick Blackburn (40.8 percent owned), who pitches well every time out, and Seattle's Brandon Morrow (13.9 percent owned), who is slowly but surely making progress as a starter. I thought about leaving Morrow out, but life's no fun if you don't take a death-defying risk once in awhile.

In case you missed it, Derek Jeter was called out at third base yesterday on a play where the third baseman clearly missed the tag. Jeter claims that the ump told him he was out simply because the ball beat him to the bag, and said, "I was told I was out because the ball beat me, and he didn't have to tag me. I was unaware they had changed the rules." Jeter sounds classy even when he's skewering someone, doesn't he?

Who's off: Nobody

First pitch: We've got a 7:05 p.m. ET start in each league. Here's the full schedule.

Pitcher to start: The champagne corks popped last night at Halpin Blog Central, as Randy Wells' strong start finally got our picks to .500 on the season (49-49). The sky's the limit from here, folks.

Tonight's pick is an easy one - I'm not getting off Jordan Zimmermann's
