There probably haven't been many pictures this season I've enjoyed more than this one in the Washington Post of Dmitri Young huffing and puffing his way to a double.

But there definitely hasn't been a better photo description I've read than the accompanying piece from Agent Steinberg:

I actually just like the determination that's on Da Meat Hook's face and the deliberate and apparent method in which he's trying to achieve his goal. Bravo Dmitri! Bravo Steinz! Bravo to all of us who enjoy your work!
