Since the news of Curt Schilling's likely career-ending injury, many have speculated as to whether he has the credentials to make it to Cooperstown. Since he is one of the top pitchers in our team's history, it would make sense for us to make some discussion about it here.
Schilling is the definition of a borderline candidate. A couple dominant years, a couple so-so years. Great post-season succe
Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, 41, has told a Boston radio station that the surgery he will have on his shoulder on Monday will probably bring an end to his career. Schilling has been out on the injury list since Spring training.Schilling said: "My season is over and there is a pretty decent chance I have thrown my last pitch forever." Physician Craig Morgan confirmed it may be the end of Schilli
Curt Schilling said today that he was having season ending surgery on Monday. He said “they have to relocate his bicep muscle and may have rotator cup surgery as well, if I don’t have the surgery, then my career is over and if I do then my season is over”.
He was asked about the tragedy “hey [...]
He deserves to comeback, He is the lucky charm who changed the history of the Boston Red Sox.
Curt Schilling and the Boston Red Sox reached a preliminary agreement on an $8 million, one-year contract that will allow the star right-hander to return next season to the World Series champions.
The agreement provides for him to make an additional $5 million in bonuses and match his 2007 salary. The deal is subject to him passing a physical, contains $3 million in performance bonuses based on innings pitched and $2 million based on weight clauses, a person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday.
A few weeks ago, I briefly mentioned my involvement in an upcoming Sporting News Strat-o-Matic Baseball League recreating the 1986 season. I was honored to be asked as the "Celebrity Manager" of the Pittsburgh Pirates, a team that went 64-98 "for real" that year. It's going to be a tall order to turn this squad around, but I thought it would be a lot of fun.Today, I logged in to see who I'd be competing against. Needless to say, I was blown away by the field that The Sporting News has assembled. Managing the '86 Red Sox? None other than Curt Schilling, noted baseball historian, bloody sock wearer, and blogger when not pitching for said Red Sox. But even more exciting than that was the manager of the 1986 Mets. It's Howard Stern's longtime right-hand man and die-hard Mets fan Baba Booey (Gary Dell'Abate). Dell'Abate takes the Mets so seriously that he was popping Tums to ease his sick stomach during the Mets' collapse last month.Inspiration for many a prank phone calls, it's Ba
Death just got that much harder for the World of Warcraft-playing baseball fan.Introducing the Star Trek themed casket and urn. And with a sales pitch like this, who can resist...The new STAR TREK Urn will feature a bold design reminiscent of the 24th century styling of the United Federation of Planets and Starfleet. The STAR TREK Casket styling has been inspired by the popular “Photon Torpedo” design seen in STAR TREK II: The Wrath of Kahn.Now they have to choose between being buried in a MLB team-licensed urn or the bad boys you see above. Tough call. Maybe a roll of the 20-sided dice will provide an answer.(Eternal Image)STUB HUB: The Safe Way to Buy & Sell Tickets Online
Red Sox' pitcher Curt Schilling will not pitch until the All-Star break. He is rehabbing from right shoulder tendinitis. Schilling has made 15 starts this season, going 6-4 with a 4.20 ERA.
I have been a Sox fan forever having grown up in Maine. Right now I’m loving the punishment Boston has been doling out to opponents, especially the Yanks.
While I was not paying attention, Curt Schilling the Red Sox ace (and resident loudmouth) has gone off and created his own blog (WordPress) called 38 Pitches. In addition, Shilling has started a video game company called Green Monster Games.
While many athletes have personal home pages and some celebrities have blogs, these traditionally tend to be censored by PR agents and used more as marketing ploys than anything else. Schilling on the other hand has always been very outspoken (not always positively) and his antics include frequently calling into Boston Radio Stations. Unlike most other athlete or celeb blogs I have seen, Schilling truly uses his as a platform to communicate with fans. And the fans respond – many entries have as many as 300 comments.
From a PR perspective, the blog seems a mixed bag. On the one hand Schilling
Well, most baseball fans know of the 'bloody sock' game that Curt Schilling pitched in the '04 ALCS (game 6) to tie the series for the Boston Red Sox.Now, someone is questioning the validity of that game.However, it's none other than MASN's own Gary Thorne.From boston.com:Thorne said on the air, while the Orioles were batting in the fifth, that he'd been told by Sox catcher Doug Mirabelli that was not blood, but paint, on the sock Schilling wore during Game 6 of the 2004 American League Championship Series against the Yankees. It was done for the public relations effect, Thorne said."The great story we were talking about the other night was that famous red stocking that he wore when they finally won, the blood on his stocking," Thorne said to broadcast partner Jim Palmer, the Hall of Fame pitcher, in a conversation that had begun with a discussion of Schilling's blog."Nah," Thorne said. "It was painted. Doug Mirabelli confessed up to it after. It was all for PR. Two-ball, two-st
It's pretty cool to have such a high-profile baseball player writing his own blog. 38 Pitches is from the man with the bloody sock, Boston Red Sox ace pitcher, Curt Schilling. He goes into great detail in his descriptions of the previous night's game. It's nice to think of him typing away on the red-eye flight home. I'm not sure about all the references to US troops in the Middle East. I guess it's a cultural difference. It's interesting to see how an elite sportsman thinks about the game.
Like it or not (and we really don't like it), Curt Schilling is apparently going to do anything and everything in his power to make sure that no sports fan ever forgets that he exists. His ego just will not allow it. Below is a partial list of just how bad Schill wants to be in our every waking thought:
He has gone on fan message boards with a fake name and chatted with fans.He has entered video
Mr. Benson Done? According to CNNsi.com, Kris Benson is experiencing increased soreness in his right shoulder, and it may require him to have surgery. He’s trying to rehab in camp, and experienced more pain after he took a day off. The Orioles are hoping he can return to pitch 2006, though that scenario may not be likely. The Mouth of the North, Curt Schilling Has A Blog: Wow. I found this on Deadspin, and then on the Babes Love Baseball site, but I think it’s pretty nice that Schilling has a blog that he participates on daily. As we all know he has a lot to say. He’s a former O (back in the day), so he’s all right. He’s taken to blogging very well already. Curt, if you read this, good luck with the blog. I especially love that he keeps most comments up, good or bad, although he does not allow cursing… Curt’s blog: 38 Pitches
Curt Schilling has said that he'll file for free agency after his contract expires at the end of the 2007 season. I know what the Sox are doing. Theo is a smart guy, he wants to wait to see how Curt performs this season and then make a decision. However, Curt has said that if they don't get a deal done now then he does not want it done after the season and the Sox respect that.Curt is already 40 and if Daisuke Matsuzaka turns out to be phenom then the Sox can afford to lose Curt, if not they are in trouble.http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070222&content_id=1811450&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb
Boston Red Sox media whore Curt Schilling has announced his intention to file for free agency ... in 2008! Seriously, Curt, is this the best you can come up with to keep your name in the news? Don't you have some fan message boards you can go on with a fake name, or another video game tournament you can enter, or a disingenuous harangue about running for public office you can use to stay
