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.

Phillies postseason schedule unveiled (at least first three games)



For the second straight year, Chase Utley and the Phillies will get baseball's postseason underway.

Major League Baseball has unveiled the schedule for the first four days of the playoffs.

The Phillies will host the first game on the docket when they take on the wild-card winning Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday at 3 p.m.

The Phils will get to play under the lights (and avoid those pesky, late afternoon shadows) in the next two games. The second game at Citizens Bank Park - Game 2 - will begin at 6 p.m. Thursday night.

After an off-day to travel, the Phils and Brews will resume the series Saturday night at Miller Park in a game that begins at 6:30 p.m. (EST). (You may want to keep an eye on this Ryan Braun guy, by the way; he's been on a power tear of late.)

So if the Phillies get swept again (or do the sweeping), the series will likely be over before Saturday Night Live airs (you really should check out Delco native Tina Fey do her Sarah Palin impression... funny stuff).

If the series goes four games? Who knows... MLB hasn't got around to announcing the broadcast schedule beyond Saturday. But we do know it will be in Milwaukee on Sunday.

Game 5 would be back in Philly on Tuesday Oct. 7.


**** One other note: all of the games above will be televised on TBS.
