According to ESPN.com, Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling is scheduled to throw for the first time since being shut down in January with a bum pitching shoulder. At the time, Red Sox team physician said rehab was the way to go for Schilling. He went for a second opinion to a doctor that had performed previous shoulder surgeries on him, and that doc told him he should go the surgery route. Well, after much public drama and debate, Schilling went the rehabilitation route, and is now scheduled to throw again tomorrow. So I guess that was the right decision afterall.
The article notes that “Tuesday’s schedule includes playing catch with team trainer Mike Reinold along with pre- and post-throwing exercises.” The 41-year old putty-like pitcher was excited about his throwing session, saying, “There’s a Christmas Day feeling to it. Considering where I was four months ago and what the options were … I guess if I was climbing a mountain this would be getting to the base of the mountain.” Allllriiiight, Curt.

Will be interesting to see if/when Schill returns to BB with his “spaghetti” tendon right arm according to his Dr.
He will not have the same stuff (mid 90’s FB) that he once had and be using guile only like last 1/2 of the past season and will be interesting to see if he will have the same pinpoint control he showed last season he had in getting batters to bite on his other pitches a-la-Mike Mike Maddux.
I am not so sure that he will actually take the mound this year. While it is hoped for, I think he will have something go as soon as he puts anything behind a pitch.
Stick a fork in him.
That photo is freaking gay !
Yes, yes it is.
