Its not very often that this blog touches the world of sports, other than to comment on the Rays to Downtown Tampa talk, but tonight/this am that has changed. The Rays have traded a true Ray, James Shields aka Big Game James, to the KC Royals. This is about a close as the Bucs trading A-Train (Mike Alscott) but this one hurts a bit more. James was a Rays from the start, we drafted him, he grew in our farm system and he was our team's rock when we needed it. Sure, David Price got pub but Big James was the man was always there eating innings saving our teams bully.
I'm sure the folks we got in return will be good players for the Rays but none will be Big James.
Thank you James Shields, this Rays fan will miss seeing you in a Rays Uni
