I dont think I ever said he was the "same old guy" Mike. If I used those exact words than I apologize, I just never remember saying he was the same old guy. I dont think he is washed up or a shell of what he used to be. I wont deny his velocity may have gone down 3-4 mphs, and his control isnt what it used to be but the guy knows what to do to win games. He goes deep into games and shuts batters down in the most key situations giving the Sox a chance to win games, in which they usually do.

While ERA is a very valid statitstic it doesnt always tell the whole story. I'd take Schilling and his 3.8 ERA over just about any guy with a 2.5-3.0 ERA any day of the week. Hes the biggest reason both the D Backs and the Red Sox have their rings.

Last night was brutal to watch. That ball Vlad hit just came down a few minutes ago, LOL!

I was asleep but saw it on Sportscenter this morning, I couldnt believe it, how far was that thing? 500 feet? That was incredible.

I've seen a lot of them Mike and the second Vlad made contact, I had goosebumps. I knew the ball was out of the stadium but man did you see how fast it was still moving? Like a line drive, that could have hurt someone in the street!

Disappointing game for sure, especially since it was the Sunday night ESPN game. We're very lucky we didnt get swept.
