LMAO – Stairs’ 2-run homer might have been the shot to put us in the World Series. Funny how things work out, eh?

Geoff blogs so much that the J on his keyboard is missing.

I can’t stop writing on this blog. I can’t leave my house. All I can think about is blogging about the Phillies. Um, um, um… must blog. Phillies… must blog. I hate the Mets. I like Phillies.

I like Greg V’s comment at the top . . . “Book your world series tickets while you can.”

Yea, this Matt Stairs move will clearly put us over the top, whereas the possible trades for sabathia, holliday or manny would have not done the job. But I can’t be hard on the Phillies, because according to them, they “almost fell short trade for Sabathia(Philly.com);”"they couldn’t finalize the deal for for Holliday/Fuentes(FoxSports); and “almost made the deal for Manny(SI.com).”

Honestly, do we really believe that the Phillies were even contenders on those deals, or are the Phillies trying to blow some smoke and get people to think they are trying to better the team? Personally, I have no doubt in my mind that it is the latter.

Matt Stairs is the answer . . . but it wasn’t to the right question.

Amanda Those good numbers are against our starters. He will be facing real major league pitching this month. We face brewers with sheets and cc. and then santana, lets see him hit those pitchers, His hits were aginst eaton, kendrick, madson, condrey, seanez. that some really great pitching isn’t it.

Geoff, will you be ballsy enough to wear Phillies gear in NY? And if you do, be careful young one, and keep your wits about you.

Guess he really didnt have much potential. OR once someone other than rich dubee or the phillies get a hold of him, you know, real pitching coaches, that theyll turn him into a good major league pitcher. just wait and see….

im going to ny for weekend, theyd better win these two games coming up. no excuses. im will be in an uproar if they dont get their act together over the weekend.

i’m glad its carrasco and not carrasco. this morning i read in the paper that it could be carrasco and i got worried. i’m glad its fabio. not a huge loss.

i like the addition of stairs. adds some depth to the bench and another OFer.

he was 6 HRs and 10 RBI at CBP. he was good numbers at CBP in limited at bats.

If some of you had a clue, you’d realize that you need guys like Stairs for the stretch run…look what Hinske did for our Sox last year. Plus what Jays fan said, he’s a good smart lefty bat with power, great clubhouse guy, a great influence for the kids, and knows the game and what his role his..and you will all be cheering when he pinch hits a 3 run walk-off HR….and he’s a helluva hockey player, I know that first hand….

Geoff: That was not a true report. Eskin said that the Phillies had a trade for ROy Halladay but wouldn’t give up Castro…It was obviously false and didn’t make any sense anyway.
