Here is the secret:

BJ UPTON IS LAZY COMMENTS ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!!

I really want BJ to do well…and I think he’s a good kid…but he looks like he’s pulling up short on effort again. Not just at the plate, but in the field too. The final play last night looked half assed…and he can’t seem to beat out a grounder to first. Hell, even Aybar, Longoria and Pena have beat out grounders this year.

As for Upton, way to go, way to start another game, with, ah let's guess a STRIKEOUT

Must be comforting to the opposition to know the Rays are giving them an automatic to start most every game—oops I forgot, he laid down a bunt to start the game last night and ended up a fantastic 1 for 6. He is a joke, an over-valued potential what?
