The Phillies begin their quest for a sixth straight National League Eastern Division crown, and a return trip to the World Series, on the other side of the Commonwealth in Pittsburgh, where the Pirates await and hope to avoid a 20th consecutive losing season.

Roy Halladay, Ace of Aces, stars for the Phillies against Erik Bedard, the talented but fragile left-hander.
