Let's roll

Good news: Schilling's ready.

"I got through Spring Training," he said. "I'm healthy; my arm feels good. It starts on Monday."

Which won't come a moment too soon for Schilling.

The same goes for me. I am eagerly awaiting Opening Day (8:05pm CET, Monday - thank you, Texas Rangers), but you will notice from the right-hand side of the page that I've also launched the official countdown to my Fenway pilgrimage.

I can't wait. Bring it on.
