Game Preview: BoSox @ ChiSox GM2 (today!)

Schilling (7-5, 4.25) vs. Danks (6-11, 5.30)
US Cellular Field 811EST

Wow, seems like I just got done wrapping up the last game.

Oh, that's because I did, literally just minutes ago, and here we are just about 20 minutes from starting Game 2 of this delayed double header in Chitown.

As the teams try and recover from that 4-hour, 24-hit, 14-run marathon of an opening game, us bloggers will try and remember what game we are writing about and what's on tap for the next game.

The one thing I'm sure of is that Curt Schilling will be trying to put the inconsistent ways that have plagued him since his return from the DL behind him when he takes the mound for his 4th post-injury start.

In the other three he has allowed 22 hits and 9 earned runs in 18 innings of work (4.50ERA), and although he has not walked a batter, he has apparently lost some velocity from his fastball, forcing him into some sticky situations.

At least his mound opponent has been equally erratic. John Danks has been shelled in his last 4 starts, allowing 27 hits and 18 runs over 19.1 innings, and surrendering 6 home runs during that stretch.

So the sox have a decnt shot at a sweep if the rains hold off and Schill holds up.

If not at least the Pats are on CBS tonight, so the PIP will be busy either way, and if Schill gets shelled, it'll be time to play "Name that patriot" as the scrubs compete for jobs late in that contest.
