Luke Scott—the gun-toting, plantain-chip-throwing, mutton-chop shaving, smug, racist, birther designated hitter of the Tampa Bay Rays—is about to set a record. With no hits in his last 39 at-bats, Scott is only eight outs away from being setting the new standard for most at-bats by a non-pitcher without a hit. In fact, it's gotten so bad that Just-Rays manager Joe Maddon has begun pinch-hitting for Luke Scott with pitchers, which sounds like a good way to get shot by Luke Scott.

Wowee! That kind of non-performance will get you benched on any High School baseball team.

Luke Scott changed his pregame meal and got his first hit in more than a month.

Tampa Bay's designated hitter broke his team-record hitless streak at 41 at-bats with a two-run homer and the Rays snapped out of their slump by routing the Cleveland Indians 10-3 Friday night.

''Fernando said, 'Anybody who wants to throw 100 (mph) or hit home runs, eat this,' and I was first in line,'' Scott said of a pregame dish that included peas, rice, plantains, shrimp and avocados.
