ESPN - Phillies acquire Stairs from Blue Jays to replace Jenkins - MLB

yaY Matt Stairs!!
So much for the Mets division title hopes now

[ljshorty89]

You stole my line. Unfortunately based on the last few nights, the Phillies have other holes besides a lefty hitting OF. Despite Matt Stairs' godliness, he will not make Kyle Kendrick learn to throw strikes, he will not help Charlie Manuel realize that Rudy Seanez should NEVER face Delgado in a crucial moment, and he will not help the now unsure bullpen. So, Stairs is a nice cheap addition, but the Phillies still have issues too.

and PS: Didn't they sign a similar (albeit less godly) player this offseason to fill the same role? Geoff Jenkins was supposed to be the lefty OF with some pop. That worked out well.

Matt Stairs back in the playoffs

ljshorty obviously does not understand the greatness that is Matt Stairs.

Now the Phillies just need to sign Joe McEwing and they'll clinch a World Series title.

I understand his godliness, but it won't work in the dirty inane city that is Philadelphia. Satan has control of that city.

Apparently you don't.

Matt Stairs would make the Padres and Nationals instant playoff contendors.
