Phillies T-Shirt hoodie of the day: Moon Shot
 |
Today's Phillies T-shirt of the day is an oldie but goodie: The Birdland/Fightins.com Matt Stairs Moon Shot shirt (submitted by friend of the Clog/CP contributor Matt Hotz) that's an appreciation of the take-and-rake slugger's mammoth home run and subsequent ass-hammering in last year's League Championship Series vs. the Dodgers.
However, we're making special notice of the available Moon Shot hoodie, given that the whole team could probably use one or four of these tomorrow night in Denver where the high temperature is predicted to be 34, the low 28 and, oh yeah, there's snow in the forecast.
All of which makes this armchair analyst a little suspicious of Charlie Manuel's burning potential game-3 starters Joe Blanton and J.A. Happ in yesterday's loss, meaning that the guy they're now more likely to start (unless Manuel pulls another trick from up his sleeve) is Pedro Martinez, a frail, aging hurler who hasn't thrown more than four innings in a start since tossing 119 and 130 pitches in back-to-back starts Sept. 8 and 13.
Granted, that would seem to make Kyle Kendrick Pedro's caddy should the great one get bumped early (or should his arm, say, freeze, drop off his body and shatter), and given Kendrick's ground-ball tendencies, that might actually be the decent Plan B for (given that yesterday, original plans A and B limped off the field and threw 19 pitches respectively). Though, now that we think of it, pitching at Coors is probably Kendrick's main role on this roster.
Anyway, back to shirts: Let me add that I've always appreciated the clever way the people at Birdland/Fightins get around the licensed team logo issue by just popping the player's uniform number on the front panel of the hat/helmet.
Got a nomination for a Phillies T-shirt of the day? e-mail it to bhoward (at) citypaper (dot) net.
And don't forget, Phils play again Saturday at freaking 9:37 on TBS (unless, y'know, it's snowing).
