Slumping Phillies lose ailing Schillingng

by Brian O'Connell sports editor

Phillies ace Curt Schilling is on the bench again after experiencing some pain in his elbow and shoulder.

Manager Terry Francona stated, that Schilling is fine, it is just that he is hurt. However, it was said that he was not hurt enough to be taken out of the lineup in a game against the Houston Astrods a few nights ago.

The Phillies staff has arranged that Schilling pitch at least one game this coming weekend against the New York Mets at Shea stadium. However, all of that will depend upon how well his arm feels.

Schilling attended to family matters this past weekend as he was attending to his son, Gehrig, who just had his tonsils taken out. Upon returning with the team, he threw for practice in the outfield, but decided that it was in the team's amd his best interests that he not pitch.

It is reported that therre is no injury to his arm. There is some mysterious problem with the muscle in his biceps.

Schilling is hopeful tha the winter will help resolve this problem.
