Pat The Bat Burrell is playing like a man possessed by the ghost of Babe Ruth. Today he took acoustic rock god Bronson Arroyo deep twice, and has gone Yahtzee! 3 times on the season. Through 7 games, he's 10-23 for a .435 average with 4 runs scored, 3 doubles, the previously mentioned 3 longballs (Burrell loves that he has longballs, he's a mackdaddy that way), 9 rbi, 4 walks, and something like a 9.999 OPS (that doesn't exist, but Burrell would own it if it did). Patrick Brian Burrell is sexy, not in the way that I want to do him, but in the way that he oozes awesomeness. Three cheers for you Burrell...You're my boy Burrell, you're my boy!
Original Story:
I like him, but he's incredibly over payed... I wouldn't mind the Phils resigning him after the year at a much reduced rate though.
Anyway, it's great he's starting off hot!
As much crap as the guy gets, he always tries hard, and I do actually like him. I hope he does well and doesn't just do the Hot April, cold May + June like the past few years.
