Left is right

Manager Joe Maddon is sticking with what worked, running out pretty much the same lineup on Saturday that produced so well Friday, with the three lefties at the top. It's season-ticker holder photo day, and there are about 250 or so on the field at the Trop

The lineup:

Iwamura, 3b
Crawford, lf
Pena, 1b
Upton, cf
Young, rf
Harris, 2b
Gomes, dh
Wilson, ss
Paul, c

Am I the only person that gets tired of seeing BJ Upton jog to first base on grounders to 2nd or 3rd. Or disgusted to see him loaf and turn an opposing single to a double. It seems that as Tampa is not going to go anywhere this year Maddon would sit him down a game to let him know that "if your not going to hustle for us we will put someone in that wants to play this game hard. The shame of it is that BJ could and probably willl be an allstar fielder.Lets just hope that sometime in the near future he realizes that he owes it to the fans the team and most importantly to himself to play this game as it was meant to be played

Listen guy BJ does hustle. He is what people call a smooth player with a long running stride. And last time I checked this "lazy guy" is probable the team MVP. If you can tell me someone else on this team that you rather have up to bat than him then you must know nothing about baseball. If it was not for the month he was out he was going to be an All-Star 2b.
