Another night at Frenchy's has left me groggy this morning... 6 a.m. comes up earlier and earlier these days. So not a whole lot of insight/news to deliver to the blog right now.

But, alas, tomorrow is the off-day in the 50-day spring training tour. It's a day of rest and re-energizing.

Brad Lidge, Adam Eaton and Kris Benson are all scheduled to throw bullpens in Clearwater today. If I can get word on how those go for the three, injured/recovering amigos, I'll post it here on the blog.

I believe I'll be going to Bradenton, however. The Phillies, who have lost five straight, are playing the Pirates. J.D. Durbin gets the start.

And, are Kyle Kendrick's struggles on the mound cause for concern?
