Schilling Cy Young/MVP Watch

It looks like Curt Schilling will get one more start in the regular season with the possibility of maxing out his record at 22-6. He's scheduled to pitch Friday night. Of course, he probably wouldn't pitch if the Sox can't catch the Yankees for the division title and would instead rest up for game 1 of the divisional playoffs which start Tuesday. Still, stay tuned to today's doubleheader between the Yankees and Twins. From an intangible factor, it would be in Schilling's favor for his hopes of a Cy Young to pitch Friday night with a chance to narrow the Yankees lead over the Sox heading into the last two games of the weekend.

Also, check out Peter Gammons' column (attached link) on the candidates for the Cy Young and MVP awards. Note that he mentions Mariano Rivera for MVP. If a reliever can be an MVP candidate, why not a starter, specifically Schilling?
