Schilling to have surgery, will not pitch in 2008

Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, on this morning's edition of the WEEI radio show Dennis and Callahan, said that he will have shoulder surgery on Monday, ending his chances of pitching this season. The 41-year-old right-hander went on to say that "there's a decent chance that I have thrown my last pitch, forever."

Following last year's Red Sox championship season, the club signed Schilling to a one-year deal that includes $8 million guaranteed, with a possible $6 million in additional bonuses for making weight, plus pitching incentives that Schilling will not reach.

WEEI plans on posting the full audio of Schilling's comments later today on its Web site.
