NY Post: "The Phillies' late-August trade with the Blue Jays for Matt Stairs won't go down as one of the season's blockbuster acquisitions."
NY Post: "The Yanks will look at a lot of free agents this offseason. [Pat] Gillick might be the most important."
NY Daily News: "September, October, it doesn't seem to matter to the Phillies. They keep finding ways to win, this time in stunning comeback fashion. And now they look like practically a lock to make it to the World Series."
Jayson Stark: "So who wrote this script? Who predicted this finish? Who can explain the unbelievable chain of events that have led the Phillies to the brink of their first World Series journey in 15 years? A game-winning, pinch-hit home run by a 40-year-old guy who hadn't gotten a hit all month? A game-losing, series-altering gopher ball by a pitcher who hadn't served up a home run in his home ballpark in so long, the Dow has dropped about 5,000 points since then? A game-tying homer by the biggest villain in town, a fellow who is about as popular in Los Angeles these days as gas prices? A heart-pumping, four-out save by a closer who hadn't gotten a four-out save since July 26, 2006?"
Phil Sheridan: "He [Shane Victorino] is the unlikeliest of villains, this most likable of Phillies."
