Schill, Sox Stick a Foulke in NY in Game 6, 4-2
D-Lowe Will Go in Game 7

BLOOD AND GUTS

For One Big Night, Curt Schilling was Larry Bird, Tom Brady, Bobby Orr, and Ted Williams all Rolled into One

Schill's Ankle Was Sutured
Skin Was Stitched Between Tendons

Who's Your Doctor?

Jim Rowe, Chris Correnti and Dr. Bill Morgan Get Major Props

“...my anticipation is that Curt will be there for the World Series....just kind of dire measures, really, you have to use dire techniques to try to control it and so no, there’s no precedent for this, and this was a last ditch effort to try to keep him playing.” -- Red Sox team physician Dr. Bill Morgan

Karma Suture

10.20.04: Dr. Bill Morgan on WEEI’s Dennis & Callahan:

Dr. Morgan: “…concerned about Curt’s health, now and in the future. There’s just no way of holding that tendon in position effectively regardless of the splint we were using, etc., when it popped in and out it was really painful for him regardless of numbing it up, the sensation was uncomfortable, so the thought was just to buttress the tendon in place short term until we could fix this thing and Curt being the player he is and just wanting to get out there and do it, was all for it, and luckily it worked out pretty well last night.”

John Dennis: “So the high top wasn’t working, the splint wasn’t working, any kind of wraps you put on it wasn’t working to hold it in place, tell us the physical theory and exactly how you did this…”

Dr.M: “Well we know that the tendon itself was not in a position that we need it to be in and there wasn’t best being out of position because it would pop back into the groove and that would give him difficulties, and it was really just putting a few sutures in just percutaneously, through the skin without making any incisions or anything like that, and making a wall so that the tendon would stay in position and not really being able to move back into an awkward position for him.”

Little Poppi by Big O Sends Series Back to Bronx

It is a marathon, not a sprint
Sox hang on to beat Yanks in 14, 5-4

We're Half Way There

Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear

Livin' on a Prayer

Once upon a time not so long ago:
Johnny likes to work on his locks
umpire calls a strike
He's down on his luck... It's tough, so tough

Papi drives the runs in each day
Hitting for Manny, he brings home his pay for love - for love

He says: We've got to hold on no matter what
'Cause it doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - they'll give it a shot

We're half way there - Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Livin' on a prayer

Johnny was the tough talking jock
Now he's popping bunts, when he can't even walk
So tough, it's tough

Pedro dreams of running away
When he cries in the night
Johnny whispers: Petey it's okay, someday

We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - they'll give it a shot

We're half way there - Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer
We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got.

We're half way there - Livin' on a prayer
We're half way there - Livin' on a prayer
We're half way there - Livin' on a prayer
