I don't blame Shields for wanting to win

And I have no problem with that.

This is not to say that I necessarily agree with Shields when he has reacted to coming out of a game or asked to bunt.

But I like the fact that competition burns inside Shields. And at times, that competitive spirit overflows. And I have no problem with
that.

In fact, I like the fact that James Shields gets upset. I like the attitude.

I've talked to James Shields. He seems like a nice guy. Good sense of humor. People speak highly of him.

But when he is at work, meaning when he is playing, James Shields is a different breed of cat.
