950 ESPN radio had an interview with Curt's doctor(Craig Morgan) today when I was driving home.
He said that he could have takes a tendon and attached it to Curt's shoulder and Curt could have been back by ASB.
The red sox doctor disagreed and Schilling could not get a second opinion because as par latest CBA - his contract would have been void.
The doctor said that Schilling can not lift a weight of 5 lbs - and his pitching this year is out of question.
Here is the funny part - Schilling is so angry ( about what?) that he wants to rehab and pitch for the Yankees next year. Just Curt being Curt?
Just wrote it down exactly as I heard it - feel free to add your $0.02.
