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.

Burrell is playing

Pat Burrell's balky back is apparently good to go.

The longest-tenured Phils player, who tweaked his back in his last swing during Tuesday's workout, just finished taking pregame batting practice. He looked fine.

As the Phils finished BP, Charlie Manuel confirmed Burrell would be in the starting lineup.

Here's your Phils starting nine:


1. Jimmy Rollins, SS
2. Jayson Werth, RF
3. Chase Utley, 2B
4. Ryan Howard, 1B
5. Pat Burrell, LF
6. Shane Victorino, CF
7. Pedro Feliz, 3B
8. Carlos Ruiz, C
9. Cole Hamels, P

i meant don't ever grow up, by the way, so you can sit back and enjoy the game... and not worry about writing/blogging/eating bad press food.
