Final ScoreRays 4
Red Sox 6
Milestone for Schilling: Curt Schilling notched his 200th career victory as Boston’s Boys of Summer took their 3rd straight over Tampa. The big righty went 7-strong innings, improving his record to 8-2. The Sox go for the sweep today as Tim Wakefield takes the mound.
Injury Carousel: Lots of comings and goings from the disabled list, so break out your scorecard and pencils.
Wily Mo Pena heads to the DL with a sore wrist as Coco Crisp returns a day earlier than planned to replace him in center. You never like to lose a player to injury, but this transaction still makes the Sox stronger. And for now, it will quiet the ridiculous “we have to find a spot for Wily Mo Pena� talk. Sorry to disappoint John Meterperel, but it looks like the Red Sox still need Manny.
The other injury has no silver lining. Mike Timlin heads to the 15-day DL with a sore shoulder. Manny Delcarmen returns from Pawtucket to take his spot on the roster, but it’s Keith Foulke who’ll have to fill Timlin’s set-up shoes. Julian Tavarez and Rudy Seanez will also have to step it up. Timlin’s been outstanding this season, so let’s hope this is just a case of needing some rest.
Here's an interesting topic for you to ponder...With what he's accomplished so far, is Curt Schilling worthy of the Hall of Fame? I say not yet, but what do you think?
Curt "the snitch" Schilling in the hall of fame???? Tough question...personally i dont like the guy as a man, but he has accomplished alot in his career. But then you look at the teams he was on you can make a good argument that he was never the ACE on either team he has one a championship on, and both those lineups were stacked wit hitters, so if i had to vote for Curt my vote would be a NO!!! Teddy even if you stuck around as old man Curt you'd have 200 wins in your back pocket.
