On The Dennis and Callahan Show on Friday morning on WEEI Radio, Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling announced that he will have season-ending surgery on his shoulder on Monday and it is definitely the end of his season and could possibly be the end of his career.

When asked about the surgery and if the doctor was correct in his assessment at the beginning of the season, Schilling responded, "I don't know and I don't care.  There's a chance a lot of things could happen here.  My season's over and there's a pretty decent chance that I've thrown my last pitch forever so I don't care.  It doesn't matter.  I'm going in to make it not hurt anymore.  That's pretty much all I care about."
