games rehab seeing surprised unfair
I'd be very surprised if he participates between now and the season's end. First, there's the health, and second, with 20 games left, there's no place to rehab with live pitching. It would be unfair to put him into the lineup without seeing live pitching.
parts rather seeing
We need to get him back to where he is completely functional, rather than seeing parts of him here and there.
biggest friday functional hearing medically parts push seeing versus
The biggest thing is to get him back completely functional versus seeing parts of him, parts of him there. With what I was hearing medically Friday and Saturday, it didn't make any sense to try to push it.
easy few gonna guy identical last leave quality recognize saw seeing start starts step teammates took
What we're seeing right now is, in my mind, identical to what we saw last year, when it took him a few starts to get untracked, and then you see one quality start after another.

We got pitched to death. He dominated the game.
good mind signed
I've never signed up for anything with the thought in mind that I wanted to be mediocre. I feel pretty good about it.
careful game hitting hurting intention people seen start
I've never seen Curt Schilling go out and start a game with the intention of hurting people. But if you start hitting people in the head... you need to be very careful of that.
extremely hill kids proud themselves wonderful
It was wonderful to see them. They represented themselves extremely well. Timmy Hill should be very proud about the way his kids competed.
baseball bicycle clothes dad fall game gave guys kept love
I started to fall in love with the game of baseball when my dad gave me my first set of baseball cards, ... I kept the ones I recognized. The guys I didn't were the ones I put in the spokes of my bicycle with clothes pins.

Is Oliver Perez important to us? And Kip Wells? Sure, they are. But we've got a whole clubhouse full of guys that are important to us.
