FOUR RUN EIGHTH STUNS DODGERS – PHILS LEAD NLCS, 3 – 1
Eighth inning, Phils down by two,
Shane Victorino then came through
with a line-drive, stay alive burst;
next Matt Stairs in a pinch eased a long-standing thirst:
a majestic, game-winning homerun. Shout WAHOO!!!

Pat Gillick, planning post-season affairs:
“Why don’t I sign up Matt Stairs?”
In LA this night,
Pat was proved right.
