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.

Victorino and Werth? Victorino and Jenkins? Werth and Jenkins?


Back to the beautiful city of brotherly love... and the lineups haven't been posted just yet for tonight's Phils/Padres game.

Today marks the return of Shane Victorino, who has spent the last two weeks recovering from a strained calf on the disabled list. But Jayson Werth has been a man on fire since Vic hit the DL - he's hitting .283 with five home runs and 9 RBIs in that span.

So can you take him out the lineup? He might be tonight, only because the Phillies are matched up against one of the game's all-time top right-handers, Greg Maddux, and both Victorino and Geoff Jenkins are left-handed while Werth is a righty.

We should find out soon enough who's starting and who's sitting.

When the Phillies have off-days, I generally do, too. Well, at least in terms of having to be at a ballpark (I do still write for the paper).

But I never got around to updating the blog. My bad.

Here is your updated Archive Files from the last two days:

Former Phillies catcher Mike Lieberthal will be back in red pinstripes.

What should Brett Myers do in between starts? Phils pitching coach Rich Dubee has a suggestion.
