"Naquin the Chef looks determined without being ruthless. Something heroic in his manner. There's a courage about him. Comes across so calm. Acts like he has a dream. Full of passion.

I almost didn't write the title of the Naquin the Chef song, Infatuated Redfaces, but then I was like, "There's a team named Redskins and a mascot named Chief Wahoo, I think I'm all right." Yesterday, Tyler Naquin kept it going with the insane run he's been on -- 3-for-4, 6 RBIs with two homers (11, 12). He now has six homers in the last ten games.
