![[HOT STOVE] Jayson Stark: Rays Still Interested In Bringing Delmon Young Back](http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/25315247-4790430483669350139.gif?l=raysindex.blogspot.com)
Yesterday, Jayson Stark wrote that a source was saying the Rays would “never” take Delmon Young back. Not so fast. Today Stark is saying the talks are very much alive and might involve a third team. Stuff can change fast at the winter meetings. Contrary to what I reported Monday [...]

THE GOOD: Not a god damned thing..OK…Evan Longoria’s first major league home run to tie up the game was a nice moment…And Joe Maddon actually sounding pieved in the post-game press conference was a refreshing change…Outside of that? Not a damn thing. THE BAD: We don’t want to talk about [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] Jeff Niemann Dominates In Debut](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2099/2413511664_390821ff02_o.jpg)

This trade was not Delmon Young-for-Matt Garza. This trade was not a 3-for-3 deal. Make no mistake this was a 3-for-1 deal and one could make a very strong argument that this was a 5-for-1 deal (we will get back to that in a moment). Both Brendan Harris and Jason [...]

Angels 2, Devil Rays 1.This is what drives us absolutely nuts about the local coverage of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. We stayed up late last night and caught every pitch of the Rays 89th loss of the season. We went to bed frustrated with the offense, but content that [...]
