If the Boston Red Sox are baseball's answer to, "Define anguish," Schilling's presence poses the question of whether futility means forever.
He has not only accepted the role of prospective savior, but embraced it, reveling in the opportunity to rewrite history, explode myth and end the pervasive apprehension that has attended the Red Sox since 1918.
For one thing, his stuff holds up better in the late innings, which makes the Red Sox less reliant on their middle relief and, consequently, less anxious when the manager must contemplate pitching changes.
