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.

Cairo's contract purchased; Opening Day roster set

I'm not at the park, but just received a text message that infielder Miguel Cairo's contract has been purchased (he had signed a minor league contract in February).

So the Phils have their right-handed bat for the bench they've been trying to find.

After checking out some of the action in the last two days, I couldn't help notice Jason Donald's play - game-winning hit Friday, home run Saturday. You have to love the way this kid kept trying to earn a job up until the last exhibition game.

He might not have made the roster now (the team wants him to get regular at-bats, which will happen at Lehigh), but he's going to be in Philly at some point this summer.
