My God Schilling

An amazing performance by Curt Schilling tonight. I can not imagine the pressure that he was under before this game. He had won 21 games during the regular season and was lit up in game of the series. Now he has to go out there and pitch in pain with an ankle that has a torn tendon in it. And not only did he do it, but he considered it his duty to make that start.

He know's he wasn't brought in to win 21 games, he was brought in to beat the Yankee's nothing more. And if all he had to show for it was game #1, his season was meaningless not only to himself but to Boston fans.

Nothing like putting the entire hopes of the Redsox nation on your back, in Schillings case, he thrives on it. Gutsy, Gutsy performance.
