Matt Stairs?

Eat it Buck and McCarver. They were so depressed that the Dodgers lost. I don't know what was the sweeter sound, the disappointment in their voices or the crickets in Dodger Stadium. Then the post game tools talked about how Torre blew the game by taking out Kuo instead of how the Phillies won it and of course that means Manuel outmanaged their hero, Torre. Ha ha.
Is Victorino this team's Pete Rose but with power? Post season leader in RBIs with 11 and the guy that has definitely been the spark for this team in the post season.
Little things are going the Phillies way and Victorino's odd golf swing homerun that barely cleared the wall to tie and Stairs super clutch pinch hit 2 run homer for the win is just the latest. Hell, Rollins even got a hit to lead off the game that ended up being a run. When does that ever happen? My memory is hazy, but I remember the 80 team coming back from the dead vs. Houston in the NLCS a couple times with the help of Del Unser pinch hit homeruns. And they're also overcoming terrible mistakes like Howard's awful, awful throw with Utley's great individual double play. Huge.
So the Phillies SHOULD wrap it up on Wednesday with their ace, Hamels, pitching, but of course being a Philadelphia team...
