Note: Burrell Talks with Mets Fans
By Matthew Cerrone - Dec 28, 2007 1:16 pm

a friend of MetsBlog, who i trust, recently bumped in to Phillies OF Pat Burrell while at dinner in Arizona…her table was introduced to him as a group of Mets fans…he was much nicer than she expected he would be…however, according to burrell, he would be open to playing for the Mets when they enter Citi Field in 2009…upon hearing this news, our friend stopped talking and refused to shake his hand as he walked away…

…i don’t blame her, though i am sure he said this in an effort to get a rise out of people he knows must despise him…

…the thing is, the Mets should consider signing burrell to a ten-year contract, while sticking him in the stands and forcing him to sell foam fingers…seriously, i don’t want him on the Mets, but i also don’t want him facing the Mets…

In his eight-year career, Burrell has 218 home runs, of which 20 percent are against the Mets, as are 104 of his 741 RBI.

Back to Burrell…

at Dog Day at Shea, Burrell was without a doubt, the nicest guy you could imagine. We were walking on the field with our 130 pound Bullmastiff, and Burrell made it a point to come out of the dugout and approach us about our dog.
We had a great conversation about how he kicks our butts, all of us laughed about it, he gave us high fives and glove taps.
The guy was VERY cool.

Yeah, this is a great site, but the comment section sucks, I have to copy every comment before I post it because I never know if it will just vanish into thin air.

M00kie,
I know how you feel. He was so friggin nice, it was killing me!

I had always envisioned my dog chasing Burell and Rollins all over the field too.
Turns out, he was a really nice guy.

one of my favorite off season past times has been cueing up MLB the show mets vs phillies and throwing at Burrell’s head … I had John Maine shut them down for 7 innings, then bean guys until he got tossed from the game…

mmmmmm…video game revenge

There was a point early last year when the Mets could have traded the bat boy for Pat Burrell. Probably would have been a good idea.
