Sorry you’re losing your Bacon Pants (the story is too funny), but I’m looking forward to cheering him on at ATT Park, which is an *awesome* park. The Giants sure do need him and they have a rabid fan base in the City.

Oh- and ally- here’s a short version of Bacon Pants:

I write for the Ladies… sportsblog, and one of my fellow writers Clare is also a huge Philly fan. She was watching Rowand make a spectacular catch one day while her roommate was cooking bacon… and the two just sort of fused together and she called him “Bacon Pants”. She told me, the two of us latched on to the name until everyone at Deadspin and beyond now refers to him that way.

I saw him at a game in Houston and told him that was the nickname we came up with for him. He thought it was hilarious.

Pretty sure everyone is allowed to think whatever the hell they want about Pat.

Personally, I adore him – my friends and I made freakin’ TSHIRTS about the man. But everyone is entitled to hate on him if they so choose. That’s the beauty of free will.

Burrell is a free agent after the 2008 season. Let’s hope he has a career year as well!

Pretty sure everyone should get off of the Bat’s back…. He is great Philly and an even better man!… He bleeds Phillie..um…pinstripe…blood? Does that make sense?

Yah, I thought so…

I’d love to see another Bacon Pants shrine or maybe a Phillies farewell of some sort. I wish that would make the Giants deal just a bad dream too!!

Your husband? Is one really cool dude. That is HILARIOUS.

If I set up one of those Bacon Pants shrines, too, is there any chance that the whole Giants thing will turn out to be a bad dream?

My husband set up a little Aaron Rowand shrine complete with my Rowand bobblehead and some candles. I laughed hysterically when I saw it: http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff220/10nisne1/RowandFarewell009.jpg

Yeah, there’s just one word to describe how I feel about Bacon Pants going to the Giants…DEVASTATED!! I think there are better favorite Philly backups than Pat Burrell though. I am actually really disappointed that he’s going to a team that will always finish in the basement of the NL West. I understand this is Bacon Pant’s only chance for a big pay day, but couldn’t he at least have signed with a contender for a year or two less like the Phillies? They were ready to overpay him, just not for 5 years!
