Sunday, May 4^th, 2008, 1:35pm EDT…  The crowd fills Citizens Bank Park to sell-out capacity on a beautiful afternoon.  Why did they go to the park that day?  To watch Pat Burrell teach another session in “how to hit a baseball” would be my guess.  It appears that Burrell’s abuse of opposing pitching is not going to end any time soon, as he put in yet another superb performance at the plate on Sunday.  Pat started the day by crushing a leadoff double to the wall in the second; a double that was hit so well that Pat actually walked from home to second without a throw.  He continued to showcase his skills by hitting another double in the third, this time scoring 2 RBIs to put the Phillies in the lead 2-0.  In the fifth, Pat stepped up to the plate again, but this time he got the respect he deserves by receiving an intentional walk.  It looks like the Giants have come to understand the greatness that is Pat Burrell.  Not only is Pat receiving respect from the Giants, but he is also starting to turn around the Philadelphia fans.  No more boos for Burrell in the City of Brotherly Love.  The same people that ridiculed Pat for his performance the past few seasons are now starting to get on the Burrell band wagon.  Fans have decided to redirect their scorn at the struggling Ryan Howard and are now cheering for Burrell when he steps up to the plate each at bat.  I even caught a fan saying “You know, we should trade [first baseman Ryan] Howard while we can still get something for him and then move [the Amazing Pat “the Bat”] Burrell to first base and have him bat cleanup.”  With that kind of fan support, Burrell is a shoe in for the mid-summer classic.
