Schilling Redux

It's Friday morning, and Curt Schilling's masterpiece is worth another look. I guess it's too bad he shook off 'Tek and threw a fastball to Shannon Stewart, but as Schill himself said, the club needed a win in the worst way. Boy, did he give them one. Thanks Curt.....you ARE our ace. This year AND next (I hope).
