While Chase Utley cusses out Met fans at the All Star Game (good for you chase!), Pat the bat is quietly accruing the accolades that he deserves and beginning his run at the NL MVP award.

Case and Point:

The kind folks over at Beerleaguer voted our very own Mr. Pat Burrell the first half MVP!!!

They obviously can see the way Pat has turned his game around and turned into the dominiant batter in the phillies lineup. They make mention of his 1.000 Fielding Percentage and his career high 151 park adjusted OPS+.

Way to see the ligh guys! Go Pat!
