Foul Territory
A sports blog with no specific focus, though I like wrestling and baseball

Open Letter
Dear Adam Dunn,
I don't care what you said before the season. I'm willing to forgive it as someone eager to please. However, don't listen to all the naysayers who complain about all the strikeouts. None of them are likely to hit 50 home runs this year like you are. Forget about the strikeouts and focus on hitting baseballs into the Ohio River. It isn't like you swing at bad pitches. You've proven you can take a walk, which is about the second most important thing you can do besides clank a few balls off the light towers. Please don't change your approach at the plate. A ground out to the second baseman isn't really better than a whiff, especially with a runner on first who will be doubled up. This year, aim for 200 strikeouts. I'm sure you'll be forgiven when you walk 100 times and hit 50 bombs. Thank you.
Your Fantasy Owner,
Andy Vogel
