I liked so much my honeymoon vacations :). I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

Yeah, I love his honesty. He said that he tries to hit a homer every time he come up to the plate. At least he admit it.

“You want to get that one big hit where you feel like you’re part of the team”,l
Stairs said. “Not that I don’t feel like I’m part of the team, by no means, but when you get that nice celebrations coning into the dugout and you’re getting your ass hammered by guys, it’s no better feeling than to have that done.”

Matt Stairs, quoted after the big hit.

You have to love the big guy!

I heard that every dollar helps them earn a degree… and really, I’m all about helping hardworking young women in any way I can.

I knew when they got Stairs in late Auqust that something big was gonna happen!

Hey Don, you’re getting married on my birthday! And it’s really nice of you to help out those college girls.

We’re having it at a restaurant/bar… in the side, private dinning room.. but the main bar is right next door.. and no lie, when we booked it, I told her that I prefered the other place we didn’t get because it had two TVs in the room, and I wasn’t sure what the World Series schedule was.. BUT.. etc…

So I still hope there are only 5 Phillies games left this season!! and that would allow me to celebrate in style and get my responsibilities out of the way.

Yea, a game #7 this Saturday takes priority over looking at juggs… hopefully we win tomrw, and Saturday I can help girls pay for college!

Your buddies should just take you to a bar to watch game 7 if necessary…

If your wife to be loves you, she’ll provide a TV :-)

And if you’re on your honeymoon, have a friend go, record the parade, then watch it when you get back :-)

my big day is 11-1-08 … so it was already going to be easy to remember…

Not to get ahead of myself but i’ve been thinking for a few months how crazy it would be if they have a parade down Broad Street…. and i’d miss it because i’ll be in Acapulco for my Honeymoon !!!

My bachelor party is this Sat.. so a possible Game#7

and World Series game #7 would be Thurs. Oct 30th.. the night of my Rehearsal Dinner… buggin

For anyone that hasn’t seen the photo of Stairs admiring his shot, go to Philly.com’s web site under the Game 4 Photo Gallery, and look at Photo #13. I love Russell Martin’s body language there.

Yeah… You’ll hear him talk about how his markets are LA, Texas, Atlanta… so that’s why he’s bashing the Phillies / Rays… He basically said, if that happens, check back in a week, because I won’t be talking baseball.

I’m listening to it now. This guy sounds like a moron.

Go to espnradio.com and then click the button on the right hand side that says, “Click here to listen live”. Mark Whalberg is being interviewed now, maybe Philly will come up…

Is his radio show on espn.com?

By: Phils2611

Phils2611 — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 15:03:07 +0000

Unfortunately no, it’s a live stream from ESPNradio.com…

He’s on every day from 10am – 1pm… and he normally repeats this stuff multiple times per show. Wish I could have snagged a snippet of the audio from the show.

I agree with Chuck. Franske has way more emotion than Harry, but I like the two different “teams” in the booth. And to answer someone else’s question, since the HR’s were in the 8th, it was Franske and LA in the booth. I don’t think Harry and Wheels were even broadcasting at the time, because there isn’t television coverage like there is during the regular season for them to switch to. Am I right?
