Testing Grounds The latest industry being outsourced to India is clinical drug trials. And any number of tragic things can happen on the way to your medicine cabinet.
Friday Night Rewind It doesn't matter which team you cheer for. We've got video previews of every high school football program in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Hernando County.
What's new: Since leaving the Trop last week, the Blue Jays traded veterans Matt Stairs and David Eckstein despite remaining on the fringe of the wild-card race. They also brought up RHP Shaun Marcum to rejoin their still-stout pitching staff, which leads the AL in ERA. The Jays head into today's play on a five-game winning streak and 38-27 since Cito Gaston, right, took over as manager. They also had a team-record 15-game (and 136-inning) errorless streak. The problem is an offense that ranks near the bottom in most categories.
Key stat: The Rays' 11 wins against the Jays match their most for any opponent in a single season — Jays and Orioles in 2003, Yankees in 2005, Orioles in 2008.
Connections: Rays Gabe Gross, Eric Hinske and Trever Miller are former Jays; Toronto's Shawn Camp is an ex-Ray, and Jesse Litsch is a Pinellas Park product.
Series history: Rays lead 11-4 this season; Jays lead 96-86 overall and 54-37 at Rogers Centre.
