I am cautious too, he has looked absolutely awful on a number of occassions. I also think he is running the team and becasue he has now ddecided he hates being in the bullpen he wants to start. Francona should just let schilling manage the team , and spare us having to pretend.
on top of that what is even more worrisome is just how lousy our bullpen has been lately--what do we have the highest ERA of any bullpen in the AL-PU...
and also it concenrs me that we so fair against good pitching. This angel series has finally exposed this team to reality against good competition. and while the average sox fan has been thumping thier chest against weaker competition and preparing themselves to win the division...the reality is this going to be a hard battle against the yankees who continue to play good ball. and ewhile the kids here dismiss the yankees because of their pitching, it has been far bettre than ours and that is uinexcusable.
the savoir theory is full of holes, and one or two good innings do nothing that I have seen to give any weight to the salivating of the delusional masses. because their have been some just pathetic outing s by schilling.
I hope he does well, but I think it will take a few starts and some hammerings and we doont have games to give away, particualrly against s***** teams.
