Red Sox-Royals (August 25, 2005)

The only word to describe Wednesday's loss to the Royals is miserable. The Red Sox left thirteen men on base and were a pitiful 2-for-10 with men in scoring position. The Sox look to bounce back tonight with Curt Schiling (5-5, 6.43) on the hill, facng K.C.'s Jose Lima (4-12, 6.47). The Red Sox can't be too sure as to what they are going to get out of Schilling who has made only three starts all year but if he resembles even 80% of the 2004 Schilling then Boston's pitching problems will be at least partially solved. The game starts at 8:10 p.m. and will be covered by NESN and WEEI.
