Tampa Bay’s grip on first place in the American League East was short-lived, but make no mistake – this team is on a major tear and there is no one playing better in the entire AL right now.

After skipping last week because of stupid “real life” issues related to work, we were back for another episode of RotoRob’s Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast (heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST on Blogtalkradio), only this with a twist.
