    Matt Stairs rocked it. Greatest home run in Phillies history in my lifetime.

    Seriously, I haven't seen a shot like that since Andres Galaraga put a ball all the way at the top of the bleachers in left field at Dolphin Stadium, or Cecil Fielder's shot out of Tiger Stadium. HUGE belt to right field. I'm still in awe of it.

    It was awesome, but let's not go nuts here. Dykstra's home run in the 10th inning on the road in Atlanta after Mitch Williams with help from Kim Batiste blew a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the ninth with the Series tied at 2-2 was bigger.

    LA had to come in and get the save in the 10th after Mitch's second blown save of the NLCS.

    Nah, I'm goin over that - and The Dude was/is my favorite player of all time. By the way, Shane is The Dude 2.

    Great game.
    I really enjoyed watching it.
    So weird seeing Torre in the Dodgers uniform. But that commercial he did for an insurance company, I think, is hysterical. The last thing he says is "What did you think of my screenplay?" lol

    We'll just have to agree to disagree. I was in high school and in South Philly everyone thought the Phils were dead having blown a 3-0 in the bottom of the ninth. The streets went crazy after Dykstra's home run. All you could hear cars honking and people coming out in the street and high fiving. No one slept that night.

    Plus the situation was totally different a game winning home run in a 2-2 series in extra innings is more important than in a 2-1 series, but I digress.

    I think Stairs home run was more of a surprise and a cherry on top after Victorino's homer.

    But everyone thought the Phils were dead in 93 after Mitch blew that save and that the worst to first dream was dead.

    Meh. I guess now in hindsight it sadly is. Mitch just decided to blow a bigger game.

    Yep, after Dykstra homered to lead the comeback in Game 6. Mitch blew 3 saves in those 2 series.

    I don't get it. He just happened to smash the dreams of all kids around the age of 12 in my generation. What kills me is he does seem to know his shit - "What Brett should do...yada yada yada." Why didn't you take your own advice 15 fucking years ago?!!?
