Maybe He Needed More Time To Blog Today?
From Jayson Stark on March 2, 2007 -
There's an ironic twist to all the furor in Boston over Curt Schilling's fitness (or lack thereof): We're talking about one of the great horses of modern times. Loyal reader/research king Trent McCotter reports that Schilling has pitched at least five innings in 147 starts in a row. Not only is that the longest streak by any pitcher in the last 50 seasons, just two other starters even got to 100 -- David Cone (145) and Bob Gibson (112). Next-longest current streak: 91, by Johan Santana.
Guess what? Schilling did not pitch 5 innings in his start today. Hopefully it's the start of a new streak for him - where he fails to make 5 innings each time out.

Tee hee. Pavano's got a lower ERA than Curt.

No lie, I think Schilling had to take over Wells' old unis. He looks like he's clocking in around 280.

Strange how that streak of 147 starts goes back to Arizona. As you know, before he met a fella named Luis Gonzalez, one of the criticisms of him in Philly was that his fastball consistently wilted in the later innings.
