Good: After missing a start, Schilling looked to be in classic form going 7 innings, allowing 1 run and K’ing 9. It was also nice to have Tito bring him out for the 8th only to pull him before making a pitch so he could get a standing ovation. Classy.

Great: The ceremony for Big Papi breaking Jimmie Foxx’s home run record. I wholeheartedly approve of any pre-game ceremony for Big Papi. Hell, I’d be cool with a pre-game ceremony to thank Papi for eating lunch. But it’s really nice to see him giving a big hug to Jimmie Foxx’s daughter and, just for fun, Babe Ruth’s granddaughter. For good measure Papi then hits number 54 last night in route to going 3-4 with 3 RBIs.

Awful: Schilling’s postgame comment:

…if I come back next year.

I can’t take any more bombs, is the season over yet?
