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.

Carrasco is dealin'

We're underway here at Bright House Field... and Phils fans (who have shockingly not filled all the seats... yet) have been treated to a taste of the future in the first half inning of Phils-Jays.

Fifth starter candidate Carlos Carrasco looks sharp. He blew away Marco Scutaro on strikes to begin the game and then got Joe Inglett looking on a slider.

The 21-year-old Carrasco ended the 1-2-3 inning by inducing Jose Bautista into a one-hopper to third base. On the play, Jason Donald - who could be your Opening Day third baseman in 2010 - easily handled a short hop and fired to first.

The Phils also went down 1-2-3 as Jimmy Rollins, Jason Donald and Raul Ibanez all flied out.
