I know you're not supposed to panic this early in the season. But is anyone else worried about the Phillies? And what happens if Toy Halladay gets rocked again tonight? I Don’t Get It: Thanks for that great forecast yesterday. Everyone said it was going to be warm. Did I miss something? The wind was nasty and it was much colder than Saturday.

Today’s Upper: Kudos to the arrival of two new businesses in Delco, with Sonic at the MacDade Mall and a Krispy Kreme in Havertown.
