and I mentioned your name where? Exactly!
Miz jumped to Bonds defense, but rips schiliing and hence why I asked him how/why he would defend Bonds and be so anti-schilling a question which he completely dodged.

Did you completely forget Game 1 where he stunk and got pulled after 3 and got them in the whole in the first place?
Here is off the top of my head a list of post season performances that top Schilling unquestionably.
Kirk Gibson walk-off HR G 1 1988 WS
Jack Morris 10 Inning shutout G 7 1991 WS (series clincher)
Joe Carter walk-off HR G 6 1993 WS (series clincher)
Reggie Jackson 3 HRs G 6 1977 WS (series clincher)
Barry Bonds 7 total HRs 2002 postseason
Babe Ruth 3 HRs G 4 1928 WS (series clincher) (.600 something BA in series)
Randy Johnson 3 wins in 2001 WS
Don Larsen perfect game, 1950's
There are so many more, calling Schilling one of the greatest ever is quite homerific

I'm adressing your response (no offense RP, but you had a little too much free time to google search).
Anyway, yeah, it was "one of" plenty of people had "walk-offs" that's a clutch hit, but what made it a "great performance" was the fact his friggen tendon was sewed in place. Same reason while Gibson's walk-off in itself was one clutch hit, but the fact he could barely walk is what made it great.
