Curt Schilling himself says, “it’s looking good” (have I mentioned lately that I love the fact that Schilling has a blog?), where “it” is the prospect of nailing down a 1-year deal that will keep him in Boston. I don’t have much to add in the way of analysis, so I thought I’d look back […]

So much for invincibility. Now that the Rockies can’t rely on that anymore, they’ll have to pick themselves back up and start playing good baseball.
The bad news is that Colorado got spanked in Game 1. The good news is that a 12-run loss counts exactly the same as a 1-run loss, so there’s plenty of […]

Oy. Where to begin. Seems Curt Schilling had some choice words to say about Barry Bonds on the radio the other day. Schilling’s manager, Terry Francona, wasn’t amused:
When I got my 11th e-mail, my buzzer was going off on my phone, and I finally got on and checked it and realized that for a guy […]

In case anyone is interested, ESPN broadcaster Gary Thorne has apologized for getting the Curt Schilling bloody sock story completely wrong. Now the only thing left to determine is whether this whole affair is funny, sad, or both. Hey, that sounds like a poll:

Our friends at Gaslamp Ball have pointed to a story claiming that Curt Schilling’s infamous bloody sock from the 2004 playoffs may have been staged. David Pinto at Baseball Musings used to work at ESPN and knows Gary Thorne, the announcer who made the claim. Quoth Pinto:
Having seen Thorne screw up on the air many […]

Schilling talks about interacting with baseball fans:
Fans in Boston want to know why I threw a slider 2-0, or they want to know the difference between […]
