Burrell Strikes Out and Wins Game

Wow, only Pat Burrell.  We all knew he was due for a strikeout by the time the bottom of the ninth rolled around, but to win thie game??  Top-notch, Pat.  Mind you, this is the second time in two nights he came to the plate with a chance to win the game and failed both times.  I guess when you load the bases in the bottom of the ninth in consecutive games the law of averages takes over (though the Cubs’ catcher is a bonehead).  Still, this doesn’t excuse Pat’s inability to get a hit when it counts…or at least a fly ball to the outfield.  What’s wrong, Pat?
