A Rip in the Fabric of Time in Oakland?

June 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

Will the universe as we know it end tomorrow? Quite possibly so says noted time travel expert and avid comic book collector Linford Buzzard. People are wondering why someone would even consider this to be a possibility. It’s simple, explains Linford, the laws of time travel state that meeting [...]

Three’s Company

June 17th, 2008 · No Comments

Pat rips another hit and the crowd goes nuts. But then, the murmurs and whispers start. “Where did Pat go? Didn’t he just get a hit? What the heck is going on?” Confusion reigns, but at long last a solitary, observant fan stands up, points, and shouts, “There he is! [...]

You’ve just been Patted

June 14th, 2008 · No Comments

How boring has it become to watch Pat come up with game winning RBIs? His heroics are now so utterly mundane, repetitive, ordinary that they aren’t even reported on this website. June 1, eager to get the month started right, Pat delivers a deadly two-out two-run double against the Marlins, aka the “Fish”, [...]

Pat the …Pinch?

May 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment

Thursday, May 22nd
Let’s face it, Pat Burrell hasn’t been hitting too well through May.  The greatness of Pat Burrell cannot be denied so this “slump” puzzles many fans.  Why question it though?  Pat Burrell works in mysterious ways.
In Philadelphia’s first game of the Astros series, Pat allowed Greg Dobbs to play left field.  “Greg’s a [...]

An ode to Pat’s bat

May 21st, 2008 · No Comments

It was a pitcher’s night in DC Town
Making each batter look like a clown
Hamels and Bergmann thrown’ the cheese
making those swingers weak in the knees
except for one, who came to bat
it was of course, the mighty Pat
with no fear, and sly like a fox
burrell stood in the batter’s box
he took the pitch one, two, three
and [...]

Mid May Update

May 21st, 2008 · No Comments

Yes We’ve been slacking on the updates. I apologize to Mr Burrell for that.
Pat the Bat has had a slow month of may. Not horrendous, his average sits at .298, but much quieter then then the month of April.
I have a theory… the Rain… There has been alot of rain this month and I think [...]

A dip in stats… but destiny will prevail.

May 12th, 2008 · No Comments

For any given baseball season there are good players and there are great players. The good players have either mediocre seasons, or a great month or two of their season and then fade for the rest of the year.
Great players on the other hand are able to rise above slumps.. Transcend weak batting months, and [...]

Man or Machine …or Crafty Wizard?

May 6th, 2008 · No Comments

I’d say all three.  The 2008 NL MVP Pat Burrell demonstrates his ability to manipulate the physical world with his mind.  Pat doesn’t simply “pick up” a bat, he attracts it to his hands through sheer willpower and determination.  The home runs, RBIs, and perfect fielding percentage certainly fuel the man or machine discussion. However, [...]

Will Pat Ever Slow Down?

May 5th, 2008 · No Comments

Sunday, May 4th, 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 [...]
