The only thing pitchers have to fear is............. Matt Stairs himself.

This time the victim was Washington's Joel Hanrahan. After walking the bases loaded for one of the newest Phillies, Raul Ibanez, Hanrahan saw Mr. Stairs step out into the on deck circle. This shook Hanrahan, he knew he wouldn't want to face that .909 SLG with the bases loaded. The result of the looming Canadian lumber was another Grand Slam Homerun, this time courtesy of Ibanez.

Stairs: "Here Raul, you take the grand salami."
Ibanez: "Are you sure, Matt?"
Stairs: "Of course eh, I'm more of a Canadian bacon man."

Quotable Stairs

As we all know, Matt is a man of many words (ie this gem). Recently the Inquirer caught up with him after breaking up the Brew Crew's Dave Bush's no-hitter. They asked him if he had ever broken up a no-no to which he replied,

"Yeah, in the first inning."

If Matt Stairs was any more of a man he would be made completely out of chest-hair and flannel.

Thanks to our friends at Long Drive for the tip.

All it takes is one.

Once again Matt Stairs' Canadian wood drives in the first RBI of the game. Just one RBI from the man himself and it turns the whole game around.

Mr. Stairs got in Matt Lindstrom's head. After he let up that first RBI he just couldn't shake it. That's what made it possible for Shane Victorino to crush a grand slam to take the lead and ultimately, the win. Nothing like a 7 run 9th inning.

Welcome to Stairs' Way to Heaven

Here at Stairs' Way to Heaven we are on a mission -- a mission from God. And that mission is to get the greatest Canadian baseball player to ever grace the city of Philadelphia, Matt Stairs, voted into the 2009 All-Star Game.

If you are a fan of the Phillies, a fan of middle aged sluggers, or just a fan of Canada in general, you should vote for Number 12. His 2 run shot heard 'round the world during Game 4 of the 2008 NLCS instantly earned him Hall of Fame status in Philadelphia sports folk lore, so let's repay him by sending him to St. Louis for that great Midsummer Classic.
