CONTRACT YEAR = STEROIDS TO PAT BURRELL

They must be putting something in Pat Burrell's Skoal.In a miraculous 5-3 win over the Reds Burrell bagged two homers and 3 RBI. One wonders if the fog that glazes over Pat's vacuous eyes as he watches steerikkke threeee!!! has lifted for good. Hamels had a nice outing and Trash Gordon didn't blow the game for Lidge. What a shame Manuel forgot we acquired Lidge in the 3-4 loss Saturday or maybe we'd have won that game,too. Shane Victorino continues to stink, perhaps in an attempt to become the new Pat Burrell. Ryan Howard added a hit, a run, and three spectacular strike outs to his stats.
