ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – In the movies, or professional wrestling, Pat Burrell would have looked straight into the blinding television lights, sneered and said something like this:

“Of course it meant more to me to have a big night against the Phillies. When I hit that two-run homer in the second, I could barely keep from laughing. Only problem was that I couldn’t decide who to look at first, Charlie Manuel or Ruben Amaro. And then that third RBI in the eighth, man was that sweet. They didn’t want me back? I guess I showed them.” That’s not the way the modern baseball player conducts himself, of course. So Burrell’s actual comments after he played a big part in helping his new team, the Rays, defeat his old team, the Phillies, last night at Tropicana Field were far more vanilla.
