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.

Manny reaction: Advantage, Phillies

After the initial, "great, another current high profile player is tied to performance enhancing drugs," my next reaction to the news on Manny Ramirez?

Advantage, Phillies.

Last year the Phils were one of the unfortunate NL teams that caught the Dodgers twice on their schedule after they acquired Manny (and then again in the playoffs, of course).

Now the Phils are on the other end. With Ramirez's 50-game suspension going into effect tonight, the Phillies host the Dodgers next week and visit Dodger Stadium for four games the first weekend of June.

All told, they'll play seven games against L.A., sans Manny.
