Tampa Tribune: New Kaz is back, but will he last?

Scott Kazmir and the head he rode in on - hopefully not the one he rode out on - were back on the mound at Tropicana Field on Saturday night.

Rays owner Stu Sternberg, who popped into town to see if anyone had built a new stadium while he was gone, didn’t once try to count the house while in the Rays dugout before the game with the Marlins.

Sternberg was chatty, but mum on team president Matt Silverman’s recent comments on disappointing attendance. Sternberg did herald the return of Kazmir, among others.

“It’s like we’re getting the band back together,” he said.

Saturday, before another postgame concert in Baseball Central (Pat Benatar, Rays drew 35,790), the new Kaz, fresh from the DL stunt to get his mechanics and mind right, threw 92 pitches in five innings, 61 for strikes, allowing four hits and two runs.
