Rain Delay gives El Duque's shoulder time to heal.

Exclusive Felz knowledge for you in a media blitz trying to convince you that the rain delay is an advantage for the Red Sox.

I truly don't understand the willingness of the media to make excuses for the Red Sox.

Go ahead and pitch Schilling in game five, do the Yankees a favor. Schilling was bombed by the Yankees last week (he was also bombed by the Yankees at Fenway in July). It's not 2001 anymore, alright?

An extra day of rest is not going to heal a dislocated Achilles' Heel. An extra day of rest might get El Duque five more pitches ... ten more pitches ... a little more snap on that 0-2 pitch to Millar with the bases loaded.

A rain dealy is not much of an advantage either way, but the dopey media inexplicably focuses on Schilling's ankle (and Johnny Damon's hairstyle) while completely ignoring El Duque's right shoulder.
