We are just two days away from a real live baseball game. The Phillies will face the Blue Jays on Wednesday at 1:05 p.m. at Bright House Field. The game will be televised on Comcast Sports Net. The opening start will go to Fausto Carmona Roberto Hernandez. A.J Burnett makes his Phillies debut on Sunday, and Miguel Gonzalez will throw his first live pitches on Thursday, after Cliff Lee has thrown two or three innings.
Ethan Martin will get a start on Saturday as the Phillies try to stretch him out to have some insurance in the starting rotation. Kyle Kendrick will open the game on Friday, before giving way to the bullpen.
