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.

Pedro throws pen, praises his new team

More in Sunday's Daily Times, but I wanted to drop a quick note on Pedro Martinez.

He threw a bullpen session this afternoon (55 pitches) and said it "went better" than he expected. Pedro will report to Clearwater on Monday. When and where he pitches in a game has yet to be determined.

But since the Phils are undefeated since bringing Pedro in, including Friday night's wild, extra-inning win, I asked him if he's even more pumped up to be with his new team.

"You know, since I’ve been here, I just get the feeling that we’re going to win every day," Martinez said. "It looks like it. This team is so relaxed and confident, that it seems like we’re going to win every day. I could do whatever, and we’re going to win – that’s it. I could tell in the fourth or fifth inning – we’re going to win."

Martinez said he felt similar with the Red Sox in 2003 and 2004... and with the Expos in 1994.
