The news all day yesterday was about Curt Schilling and his aching shoulder. But there was a game to play last night and it was an ugly one, if you were a Braves fan. Yo-Yo was outstanding and has silenced his critics lately with some superb pitching. The Red Sox bats warmed up just in time for the first day of summer, which is today, for 5 homeruns enroute to their second shutout victory in a row. The Sox spent the night flying to San Diego but that doesn’t mean that the mainstream media in the Boston area and Atlanta weren’t busy providing you with the headlines and stories about the game and other baseball related things.
