Oct. 5 -- BURRELL GOES BOOM

BY SCOTT LAUBER

MILWAUKEE -- After last night's game, Pat Burrell spoke calmly about the Phillies' team-wide slump and said the offense was due to break out.

He must've remembered that Jeff Suppan was pitching today.

Burrell owns Suppan. Absolutely owns him.

Entering today, Burrell was 9-for-21 (.429) with three home runs and eight RBIs against Suppan, and a few minutes ago, he improved those numbers by crushing a three-run homer to left field. Jayson Werth followed with a solo shot to center.

5-0 Phillies, bottom 3rd. ... I'm on the verge of booking a plane ticket to LA.
