In case you missed it, Mike Schmidt - only the best hitter in franchise history - offered to help Pat Burrell with his swing during Spring Training. However, everyone's favorite whipping boy blew him off and chose blow off Schmidtty to stick with the sage advice of Milt Thompson and Uncle Cholly.
Apparently, Burrell is a bit miffed by some comments Michael Jack made this winter when he classified Pat the Bat's production in his career thus far as "mediocre". I don't mean to be Captain of the Obvious, but I guess the truth hurt Pat the Bat. However, I think we can all agree that Michael Jack was being generous in labeling Burrell as "mediocre". At the very least, he should have added an "at best" to his classification.
God, I hate this guy. He is the last bastion of those underachieving "me first" Ed Wade group of Phillies. I want this guy gone. I've had enough. I hope Pat Gillick is coming up with another option for left field because I don't see this guy making it through Memorial Day without completely falling apart.

Couldn't agree with you more. Pat Burrell personifies everything that is wrong with sports today.
I can't wait to start counting his backwards K's this year, especially the ones when there are RISP with 2 outs.
EZ on the best hitter in franchise history. He hit .267, struck out a bunch, and couldn't get us over the hump till #14 was brought in.
Now, Burrell is a piece of crap, has wasted the first 8 years of his career and will never amount to anything if he can't get it done in this band box behind Ryan Howard.
#20 is a bit loopey though and i don't know if I want to take advice from him
Does it really matter? He'll always make more money than you could only dream of. And all the while he pops 'roids, plays a kid's game and nails perfect "10's" on a nightly basis.
So who's the smart one? You, or him?
I wish Burrell was popping roids, maybe he'd hit better.
I guess Burrell is smarter than me...he does have the same outstanding education as other noted geniuses such as Michael Irvin and Ray Lewis
F Burrell.
