I just think a competitor as great as Schilling deserves a chance to win it. I think you're right. Schilling prepared himself to pitch this game on short rest. Although I know Kim felt terrible out there on the mound, when they would show Schilling sitting there in the dugout I could only think about how tough it must have been for him to keep himself together. Schilling is a helluva decent guy and a great athlete.

I had many years to enjoy Schilling here in Philly. here's no doubt in my mind that he's the toughest competitor in baseball - tougher than Roger Clemens. He's a good man, and it was sad to see his gem end that way. It'll be interesting to see whether he can get himself up once again for a potential Game 7. Three times in one series is extremely grueling.
