Schilling To Have Season Ending Surgery
Curt Schilling will not be on the mound for the Sox this year. After returning to Boston from Philly the Sox and Curt Schillinge decided that he could not pitch effectively again without surgery. He also said his chances of pitching again were 3-10 and the surgery is to make his shoulder pain free. The Sox will discuss the issue with a press conference later today. Schilling announced his plan on WEEI this morning, you can listen to the interview here. Nothing yet on 38pitches.com. This is not a real surprising development and to be honest it is not as bad as when we first learned about the injury before the season because the Sox now have Masterson and Colon to pitch. The news may cause the Sox to trade Coco for a starter if not a guy for this season, one that could join the rotation next year.

I guess Dr. Morgan wins the battle of the prognosis, doesn't he? It is a shame, and with all the great young pitchers, there's no way it would make sense to look at Schill next year - if he wants to make a last run at it.
He came to Boston, and became part of our lore. We'll never forget.
Unless the Sox need that 'hired gun' next year after the All-Star break that Schill alluded to. Ya just never know with pitchers. You can never have too much pitching.
