Curt Schilling to Pitch at Knights Castle Next Week

Well he's scheduled to anyway.

Schilling to make start at Triple-A

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Curt Schilling moved closer to returning to Boston's rotation, throwing another simulated game Friday.
Schilling, sidelined with a right ankle injury since April 24, is expected to pitch in a bullpen session on Sunday and make a start for Triple-A Pawtucket next Wednesday.
"It's getting better. I felt good. I felt smooth," Schilling said after throwing 84 pitches from the mound before the Red Sox played the Phillies. "My pitches have gotten sharper the last couple days and I felt like I was ready."
Schilling said he plans to make more than one rehab start. After throwing 65 pitches in Cleveland on Monday, Schilling started lobbying to speed up his rehabilitation. However, he did back off a statement he made last week that his goal was to return by the All-Star break.
"I thought he was good the other day and I wanted him to repeat it," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. "Now we'll go let him pitch. He looked healthy. He looked great."
Schilling injured a tendon in his ankle near the end of last regular season and struggled in Game 1 of the AL championship series against New York. The ankle was stitched up to keep the tendon in place and he started Game 6, helping the Red Sox come back from an 0-3 deficit to beat the Yankees.
The procedure was repeated before Game 2 of the World Series, where Boston swept St. Louis in four games to win its first championship since 1918.
Schilling's current injury is a bone bruise in the same ankle. He had offseason surgery and missed opening day. After three poor starts, he went on the disabled list.
"I think he regressed this spring," Francona said. "Now he proved to us he does look healthy and he can go pitch a little bit."

 

He should be throwing tomorrow night (Wed.).

 

Most crowded Knights game I have seen since the Indians played Jim Thome and the KNights back in 93...

 

Yeah, back when they didn't suck ass. The Knights want a downtown park to improve attendance, but ain't nobody gonna go nowhere to see a sucky team.

 

nobody cares how good the team is,...it's all about just getting outside, drinking beer and stuff

 

Well, as far as Shilling goes, he looked pretty good for his first rehab start. Bodes well for the Sox.

As far as the quality of play versus the # of fans in the stands, I guess if we had some real hot prospects here, more would show up. (although we do have a few who will make it to the show, but may just be bit players). (Burke, Anderson, Gload should go back up, Bajenaru).

I enjoy just going to the park and watching the game I grew up playing. We usually make it to about 10 games a year. Got a big fireworks display tonight, should be about 10k in the stands.

 

That's the truth. If the games were downtown, I'd be at damn near every one, and an alcoholic.

 

How did the Schilling Bobbleheads look. I am scouring Ebay for one

 

With so many players moving around in baseball nowadays, the old "if the major league team is good, the minor league teams will be good" doesn't stick anymore. White Sox on pace for 110+ wins, Knights are a joke.

 

Maybe because alot of the Knights talent has moved up to the parent team?

Charlotte has seen alot of good players on their way up.
With the Indians we had Manny, Jim Thome
With the Marlins we had Cabrera
