When Pat Burrell came to bat today with the game on the line did anyone get the feeling he was going to come up with a clutch, go-ahead RBI?
Hear that? That's the sound of crickets chirping.
David Ortiz on the other hand. Every time that guy comes to bat with the game on the line, Boston fans (and most of the opposing teams fans) expect something big to happen. The guy is clutch. He beat the Phillies on Monday in the final at bat of the game. He did the same thing on Saturday.

The Phillies are heading down the Northeast Corridor to start a series with Baltimore. Hopefully the rain will only get worse in which case Charlie Manuel will have to build an ark and take Pat Burrell and David Bell away with him. And the entire starting rotation. And Ryan Franklin and Arthur Rhodes. And Bobby Abreu.. And..
Or wait.. Maybe we want only Utley and Howard on the ark? Eh, who really gives a shit.
