Insight, observations (and whatever else comes to mind) on the trails of the team that ended the quarter century-long parade drought in the City of Brotherly Love - the Philadelphia Phillies.

Ray of Light; Scott Mathieson returns to mound


We're back at Al Lang Field at Progress Energy Park, home of the outdoor press box (and a scenic vie of the waterfront) in downtown St. Petersburg.

Feeling under the weather today, so I'm going to keep this post pretty brief.

Jamie Moyer is pitching for the Phillies today. The veteran lefty has been his consistent self this spring - he carries a 2-0 record with a 4.50 ERA into today's start.

With the way Cole Hamels pitched yesterday and the way Brett Myers has thrown all spring, the top three spots in the Phillies rotation appear to be pretty strong. If they can find at least one other guy to pitch effectively (the way Kyle Kendrick did a year ago), that would be four solid starters, which should translate into lots of Ws.

Of course, it's only March 19.

In today's Daily Times, rehabbing right-hander Scott Mathieson makes first first bullpen appearance of the spring as he continues his journey back from arm surgery.

Also, Hamels throws well and Kris Benson welcomes monkeys to the clubhouse in today's notebook.
