Resurgent Adam 'out for a lot of blood' in quest for winning record

Aramis Ramirez had six home runs in one matchup.

I have been incredibly harsh on Adam this year. Take a look at some of the comments I've attached to the Phightin Sillies/MismatchMyAss on the Power Rankings:

Week 6: These are your grandfather's Phightin Sillies.
Week 7: Time to start the rebuilding effort, Adam.
Week 10: I wish I could give Adam some more props for another win. But, alas, it was against Rick so he stays put at 10.


Adam let loose on some built-up anger this week after moving to 7-7 with another great win, this time over Shea. Adam has won four straight, outscoring opponents 48-25. And, oh yeah, two of those victories came against Jack and Ken as well.

"I'm just tired of being looked down upon," Adam said. "My team has always been towards the bottom of the pack. We had a long meeting about it, and frankly, I was just tired of it all."

So what did Adam do after he was 3-7?

"We started having two-a-days, I started whipping them into shape and now I'm getting production," he said.

And now, you better believe he has those power-ranking potshots on his mind this week when he faces lowly Andy with a chance to sweep the season series and move above .500 for the first time this season.

"I'm out for a lot of blood this week against the commissioner," Adam said. "I don't think he takes my team seriously, and I'm going to show him exactly what we mean. WE MEAN BUSINESS BABY!!!"

Like he did last season, Adam is getting it done with offense. During this four-game winning streak, he has 45 homers and 153 (!!!!) RBIs. Perhaps one of the most amazing stats I've ever seen in the five-year existence? In the last four weeks, Adam has won 35 of the 40 offensive categories up for grabs. He has tied two and only lost three. A truly incredible offensive surge.

So can this lead to a playoff spot? How about a division title? Both are within reach now. Remember, last year Adam was a division leader for most of the year and made the playoffs for the first time in his career.

"I really hope we make the playoffs," he said. "Every year obviously we strive to get in. We've been a little unlucky the past few seasons, and this season, we are really going to make a big push and try to get in."
