Just so everyone knows, Young had shoulder surgery last year and had more soreness this year when he tried to come back. This is only his second start since some time in April-May...he only went four innings in his previous start.

Stairs makes the final out to send us to the top of the 3rd.
Anyone remember back in the day, when Stairs was a Cub? I watched ESPN a lot back then, unfortunately, and every time they'd show a Cubs highlight with Stairs, the talking head (can't remember his name) would say "Professional Hitter.... MATTHEW STAIRS"
Hate ESPN
Oh, for God's sake. 400-lb. man jumps over the fence. Actually that's unfair. Stairs weighed about 400 lbs in Philly, looks like he hit the plyometrics this offseason.
