Rome comes around...Sort of
"I talked about this yesterday, but a loss by Curt Schilling in game 1 would be devastating for the Red Sox. Schilling had beaten the Yankees before in the postseason and was brought in for that express purpose. Also, a loss by Schilling would put Peter Martinez in a virtual must win situation in game 2. Also, not a good thing since he had been yanked around at the end of the year, isn’t the pitcher he used to be and admitted that the Yankees are his daddy. They’re in a tough spot and this is a massive start for Pete. If they lose tonight, not only New York have beaten their two horses, but they’re going to win four out of five, something that is not going to happen considering schilling may not even pitch again, and that the Yankees are Pete's daddy.
On top of that, neither one of these teams can beat the other four out of five. They’re too evenly matched and this is a must win game for the Sox.
Curt Schilling said, “If you can’t go out there with something better than I had today, I’m not going to go back out there…I won't take the ball again.”
Oh, that’s good, their horse, the guy who won 21 games during the regular season, the guy who was brought specifically to beat the Yankees, the guy is was going to be the difference maker for the sox who were finally going to get over on their bitter rivals, gets jacked up in game 1 and is already saying he might not be able to go again in the series. Perfect. How’s that taste, Chowds!! How messed up is that? He might not go again; could you be getting any worse news?
I’m not going to make any excuses for the guy, he took the ball, so he needs to get the job done. But he clearly wasn’t right physically. Obviously, his ankle is pretty jacked up. If he’s taking the needle before the game; he’s got a serious problem. If he can’t get to the fourth inning of game 1 of the ALCS, he’s dinged pretty badly. A lot worse than he let on, he had no command, his velocity was down and you knew the second he got there he wasn’t right. The first two guys he faced hit the ball right on the screws and you knew something was wrong. " Jim Rome.
Now Jim, you say you aren't going to "make excuses for the guy" but then go on to say that "he clearly wasn't right physically". Which is it, are you or aren't you? The Boston team, is not a team I find to be very personable, why do people keep getting behind them? It baffles this bloggers mind.
As for the Chowd heads, you guys were putting a lot on Schillings shoulders and he crumbled in the Bronx.....that is not a good thing. You better believe "Aura" and "Mystique" and something to do w/ that. Or maybe it's just that your team doesn't know how to handle itself in New York in October. Hmmm
