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 [...]

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

A good weekend for Burrell as well as he put up 4 RBI’s, 1 Home Run and 2 Doubles. Burrell has continued his hot start of the season into May. With the type of numbers he’s putting up he’s a shoe in for [...]

With those words, the greatest announcer of the greatest game, gave the call of yet another Pat Burrell game winning Home Run. Pat battled San Francisco’s hard throwing Brian Wilson (not the Beach Boy) who regularly hit the upper 90’s on the radar gun, to a full count after jumping ahead 3-0. Pat who was [...]

Sorry for the break in posting. It’s been a quiet weekend on the Burrell Front. Burrell has ratcheted down his production for the end of april, as he prefers to allow his teammates the spotlight on weekend games. But he came back full force last night with a game tying double to help the phils [...]
