Red Sox back from the dead 

Warning : this one is a bit graphic.

[Via Jim Warner] This has got to one of the greatest comebacks ever. Down 0-3 in the ALCS, the Red Sox came back to force Game 7. Now, they are up 8-1 top of the 5th in Game 7, and I can't believe it. In the meantime, here is how Schilling was able to pitch in Game 6 despite an injured ankle.

Well the tendon is out of position and out in front of the bone and the problem is that it would slip back again to where it was supposed to be and then slip out again. And it was really just to create a barrier between the skin and the underlying tissue which is called facia so that there wasn’t let’s say a tunnel subcutaneously underneath the skin, it just kind of anchored the skin through the underlying tissue so it would stick the tendon where it was supposed… where it was, so it couldn’t sublux at all."

Talk of a bloody red sock. Inspiration for the Indians to win the Test series, perhaps?
