Matt who?

Matt Stairs

That’s right. Matt Stairs. My new favorite player. He’s 41 and is listed as a pinch hitter for the Phillies. I can’t honestly remember seeing him hit throughout the season, but is listed as hitting .252. I assume that was when he was a Blue Jay, as he was traded to the Phils at the end of August.

Anyway, he came into tonight’s NLCS game with the game tied at 5. The Phils were winning 2-0 in the first, but were quickly losing control as the score crept up to be 5-3 Dodgers at the top of the 8th. The “Flyin’ Hawaiian” Shane Victorino hit a 2 run home run to tie the game. Mr Stairs came in and knocked one HELL of a home run to deep right field making the game 7-5. That’s how we ended the game with Brad Lidge coming in to save another one. The Phils lead the series 3-1.

My nerves can’t take this.

Philly never disappoints

Just as I thought, the good old fans of Philly didn’t disappoint. Oh well, let’s put politics aside for now.

Flyers got killed in the open period. It was 4-0 by the end of the first, and Stevens had to pull Biron for the backup Niittymaki (whom posted a shutout from that point on). I think the loss had mainly to do with the fact that the Rangers had already played 4 regular season games and this was the first game for the Flyers. That’s what I am hoping anyway. In the end, the orange and black came back and almost tied the game several times in the 3rd period, but just couldn’t get it done. I’ll take the 4-3 loss (for now).

Eagles take the win! Better yet, Dallas quarterback Romo broke his pinkie finger on his throwing hand. Sorry folks, but hahahaha. I am an Eagles fan. I am required by law to hate all that is Dallas.

On a different note, I finally broke down and ordered a cold air intake for the Ram1500. I’ve been reading forums here and there and some people have boasted better gas mileage. I honestly won’t hold my breath, but it will give a chance to tinker around under the hood without breaking anything major. Pictures will follow…
