It's unofficial--Schill to pitch opener

By Gordon Edes, Globe Staff

Greetings from the Fort, where there was a bit of a cloud cover this morning and a 70 percent chance of rain tomorrow, which won't mean workouts will be cancelled but could mean all your heroes will have to pull a David Wells and work inside.

Sox manager Terry Francona said he won't make an official announcement because things could always change due to injury or whatnot, but the plan is for Curt Schilling to pitch the Sox opener April 3 in Texas. It will be Schill's first opener as a member of the Sox. Pedro pitched the '04 opener and David Wells went last year.

Be back shortly with more ...
