(He's still been disowned as an apostate, of course.)

Round four begins tomorrow night in Tampa Bay where Shields will once again be on the mound. Yeah, the AL East is hot right now with the Rays trailing the Sox by only half a game. I'm liking the drama. The home team has swept all three of the series thus far this season (Boston leads six games to three).

And now Iwamura's been on the receiving end of 2 spikes up slides for no fault of his own (Shelly Duncan during spring training). So, have the Rays managed to turn the AL East into a 3 way battle both on and off the field? This was an ugly multi-day incident leading up to the brawl eh.
