What a sight it was to see Coco Crisp rush the mound and take it to James Shields! I think anyone who knows anything about baseball knew that this sequence of events was set in motion the night before when Coco and Maddon exchanged pleasantries, but to see it materialize into such a donnybrook was, I believe, both a surprise and a pleasure to most. I can say this for certain, these are not the Rays of the past. The old predictable cellar dwellers seem to have a new fire in their bellies and a record on the field that can not be denied. All I can say is that a new rivalry in the AL East is sorely needed now that the Yankees can't seem to find any way to get it together. I hope this rivalry only grows more heated.
By the way, Go Celts! 1-0 and looking for more!
