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.

Welcome to Nats Park


Well we've survived a long Sunday and have arrived in DC, where the Nationals unveiled brand-spanking new Nationals Park.

(It's still called Nationals Park as the franchise tries to find the right buyer for naming rights.)

It's a pretty nice place. Definitely an upgrade from RFK Stadium.

The Nats, though, are playing just as poorly as they did in their old digs. Washington is in last place, 19-26.

The Phils will look to rebound from a rough weekend, where they dropped two in a row to Toronto. All eyes are on Brett Myers tonight, who has been the Phillies biggest disappointment six weeks into the season.

Tim Redding starts for Washington. He held the Phils to just one hit in seven innings last month.

The Archive Files

In Sunday's 6-5 defeat, the Phils unexpectedly faced the Jays ace in a big spot - and former Cy Young winner Roy Halladay shut the home team down.

In the notebook, a rainy Sunday means a short stay on the mound for Kyle Kendrick - and a possible appearance out of the pen in Washington this week.
