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.

Rain, rain, go away

For the second time in less than a week, the Phillies have been postponed by rain.

You have to love April in the northeast, huh?

No makeup date has been scheduled as of yet, but Monday, May 11 may make sense - the Padres are off that day, in the middle of the six-game road trip between Houston and Chicago.

They could, theoretically, come to Philly in between Houston and Chicago. The Phillies are off that day, and in the middle of a seven-day, six-game homestand.

OR...

The two teams could play July 23, when the Padres have another off-day before hitting the road for games in Washington and Cincinnati.

Jamie Moyer, Monday night's scheduled starter, will pitch Tuesday.... meaning all of the Phils starters will be moved back a day.

WHEW! They certainly waited long enough to announce this rainout! I had tix for last night's game. It was pretty clear this morning that it was going to rain all night (the weather channel had 100% chance of precip from 6 PM to midnight), and yet the Phils website kept saying the game would be played as scheduled. I was worried they were going to play through the rain, because there are not other home series against SD this year! It wasn't until 5:30 PM that KYW announced that the game was rained out, and even after that the weather guy was still talking about how difficult it would be to get the game in!
