Congrats to Luke Scott, AL Player of the Week!

Everyone's favorite gun-toting, Jesus-loving, walk off sliding Oriole has been named the AL player of the week. Here are the particulars:

In four games following the All-Star break, the left-handed hitting Scott hit .538 (7-13) with four runs scored, two doubles, three home runs and six RBI. The 30-year-old outfielder posted a 1.385 slugging percentage along with a .571 on-base percentage during Baltimore's four-game series against the Detroit Tigers. On July 18th, Scott hit two home runs to lead the O's to a 7-4 win. On Saturday, the Oklahoma State University product hit a 10th inning walk-off homer, capping his 3-for-5 day in Baltimore's 11-10 seesaw victory. The Florida native is batting .267 with 17 home runs and 40 RBI on the season. This marks Luke's first career weekly award.

Luke has historically been a second half hitter, with a career 1.012 OPS (.405 OBP and .607 SLG). Let's hope he can keep up the trend and give us something to cheer for in what could be another very disappointing July, August, and September.

Congratulations, Luuuuuuuuuuuuke!

To which Luke would reply...

Luke Scott would use his gun

And then ask for forgiveness.

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

Good stuff

If you talk to Luke tell him we think he’s awesome.

Does Luke Scott

use The Force on Criminals? I thought the new Police Commissioner in Baltimore was to thank for the drop in crime, but apparently you guys have other ideas involving your kinfolk.

Personally, I’m happy if Luke just continues to use the force to smack dingers around on the ballfield. I like Luke but I don’t think he’d last five minutes 10 blocks west of MLK, and that’s no criticism of him, just the sad state of affairs on the Westside.

Nice

Huff, now Luuuuke. We own the American League!

At this point

I think Luke Scott is our most popular player. The “casual fans” love him, the ladies adore him. I hadn’t seen it at all the other games, but at last night’s game, “LUUUUUUKE” is an official, scoreboard-sanctioned chant.

I was asked by the non-fan I was at the game with why he was so popular. All I could come up with is that “he’s the closest thing to Jesus Christ in this sad, sad world”

It's the hair

Ladies love it; men want to have it.

You think he is more popular than

Brian Roberts and Nick Markakis? Not only are both of them better players, but I’d be willing to bet more people like them just because they have been around longer. I am a huge fan of Scott, but Brian and Markakis have been in the organization for a while and have earned a ton of respect and popularity from the fan base.

He's the "awesome new guy in town!"

“He’s so awesome!!!”

you have to know what I mean.

Plus, Luke will shoot you if you don’t like him most.

totally

He’s the new kid who isn’t really all that cool but gets a lot of dates for a little while because he’s NEW!

Eventually the ladies all go back to the studs like Brian Roberts and Nick Markakis, and Luke Scott slowly but surely drifts into the social scene that is most befitting his nature.
