Tony Massarotti will you please Shut-up?!

My list of idiots on this blog continues to grow. I just hear him on ESPN Radio talking about how Schill might not pitch again. This is SO typical of the Boston sports media. Everyone thinks the Red Sox fans are doomsayers; I disagree. I think it's them. They are the ones that constantly have to make something out of nothing. They are the ones who consistently focus on the negative.

Let's look at exactly what Curt had to say last night: "If I can't go out there with something better than I had, I'm not going back out there''. Everyone knows what a gamer this guy is. I doubt anyone was more disappointed in his performance than Curt Schilling himself. He is his biggest critic. That's why he takes these guys to task, that's why he can't let foolish statements go when he hears them on the radio.

This is the best part of his article: "If this is all Schilling can give them, if this is all he has, maybe the Red Sox are better off not pitching him at all. Maybe they are better off with Derek Lowe in Game 5." Yeah, that's right.. we'd be better off with Derek Lowe. The guy who was 2-2 with a 6.52 ERA in 6 September starts.

Perhaps Mr. Massarotti should pay a little closer attention to game. The Yankees made some good hits against Schill. The poke by Matsui in the first was WAY outside, the drive down first was JUST fair. That happens, that's baseball. Losing game one is not the end of the world. It was however, the Yankees best chance to win a game in this series, and they did.
