Matt "Mr. October" Stairs

Ryan Howard may have gotten the S.I. cover, but the gun who thinks there's no better feeling than to get your ass hammered by the guys in the dugout had the most prescient quote, what with being responsible for the lone (two-out) RBI last night. To wit:

"I realize teams want to build around speed and defense these days, but the best way to score is still to put a couple of guys on base and have somebody come up and hit one out. That's how the game is supposed to be played."

Personally, I don't care what wins three of the next five games for the Phils. I just care that three of the next five get won.
