eh, well i dont think you can rank it unless we get more medical information. Like if a doctor came out and said "Schilling shouldn't of even been able to walk" with whatever taht injury was, then yeah it's pretty damn gutsy. Don't forget initially most thought he wasn't going to pitch again this whole season.Originally posted by: RedPickle
They rank his game with those of Willis Reed, Kirk Gibson and Emmitt Smith. There is no way Schilling should be ranked with them. Schilling pitched a great game, but not up there with these guys.

With the information we have, all we can do is debate

They needed an excellent performance from him. If he pitches like he did in game 1, the series is over. However, he pitched 7 strong innings, bloody ankle and all. While I don't think it should have been 2 on the list of gutsiets performances, it definitely belonged on the list.
Edit: I can't spell.

Well it wasn't a bloody ankle. It was stuff they put on it, kinda like an ointment IIRC.

It was blood....they gave him a shot in there.
Thats the foot where he pushes off when he pitches. How can you put down his effort??? That was an awesome performance given his condition......and he didn't blame his ankle for his poor performance in game 1.

No, I believe it was blood coming from the sutures he had put in.
This was definitely one of the most gutsiest performances:
They basically intentionally displaced his tendon closer to a bone and put sutures in both sides of it to hold it in place---that CAN'T feel good regardless.
He NEEDS surgery to get this fixed..this isn't like banging your head or a sprained knee.
He even said he felt like he didn't have much left in the 4th, yet survived for 7 innings to give the bullpen some relief.
He was HUGE

maybe he should have logged onto ATOT and asked for medical advice before playing in the game...he could also have made a pol to see if we thought he is 'gutsy'
seriously though..the guy is in pain and still playes...id like to see you pansies go out there and play in that condition ..basically come through when it mattered for your team....
