Hoffman: If Burrell Can't Go, It'll Be Stairs

According to Rich Hoffman in a Philly.com chat, Charlie Manuel has two lineup cards filled out, with the official one to be determined after Pat Burrell finishes batting practice.

If Burrell doesn’t feel much pain in his back after swinging, and can swing, he’ll start in left field. If not, Hoffman reports Matt Stairs will start.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
