OK, back-to-back-to-back extra base hits. 5-0, I don't care if the Devil Rays are hot, you suck. The Red Sox will not win the World Series with this clown in the rotation.

Of course, cause there's no chance he could turn it around and there's no way a team can win without one pitcher.

Really, you know your stuff, but you're simply talking out your butt because you don't like schilling.

If he returns to 2004 form I would probably pick them to win the AL (I still think the Cardinals are best team in MLB), but I don't see that happening. What I'm saying is that if the Curt Schilling we've seen since his return from the DL is the same one come October, I can't see the Red Sox winning it. They're rotation would be Clement-Schilling-Arroyo-Wells with Wakefield emergency starter (I assume), I don't think those other 3 guys are good enough to counter Schilling's crappiness. In a seven game series, Schilling would get 2 starts, and would most definately lose both if he is in the form of right now. That doesn't leave much room for error for the other 3 guys, none of which have been consistent all season long.

Again this is all if Schilling pitches the same way in October as he is now. I realize there are still about 6 starts (if he makes it that far) for him to figure it out. But if he doesn't I do not like their chances.

I would have so much more respect for Schilling if he would come out tomorrow and tell Francona he is done for the season, and let them work with the 4 man playoff rotation of Clement-Arroyo-Wakefield-Wells. I think he's too much of an egomaniac to do what is best for the team and is more focused on proving people wrong.

Go D'Rays.
