Curt Schilling doesn't think much of Dan Shaughnessy's take on contracts in the Age of Coach Jags:

So CHB chimes in on the BC coaching fiasco in about as timely a fashion as reporting on the Lincoln Assassination at the outbreak of WWI. Sweet. In the world of hypocrites he’s vaulted to the top spot. ...

Oh, snap. Schilling, who sometimes maybe, just maybe, doesn't know when to shut up, then goes on and on about what a loser Shaughnessy is, with copious examples from his coverage of the Red Sox dating back to Roger Clemens days.

Does this mean he gets to share a press room with the CHB?

Big Schill actually announced the move on his blog last week, but I saw it and went, "oh," then went in search of my daily dose of gross T news or something.

Well, that oughta swing the election Chang-Diaz's way.

Dear Curt offers advice on everything.

Oh, God, yes, make him stop.

No, he's a refreshing breeze in the stale room of jock talk.

... My first thoughts a few weeks ago were that maybe I'd work to get healthy and shoot to try and make the WBC team, but I just don't think that's in the cards. Next I started thinking about the original plan of pitching the 2nd half of next season. Thing is, that urgency just is not there. I miss some things I didn’t think I would, and don't miss many things I expected too.

As I stated yesterday the pendulum is swinging very heavily in the direction of it just being over. ...

Schilling posts photos from his shoulder surgery. Fun for budding surgeons everywhere.

No. 38 posts: 3 World Series rings, 3k innings plus later, there’s a chance it's all over:

... To you fans, thank you, thank you, thank you. If it is all over, every single moment and memory I'll take away from my career comes with your involvement and support. More athletes than you know recognize this and appreciate it. The 4 years I was allowed the honor of wearing this uniform I would hope you believe I did so with honor, integrity and respect, for the game but more importantly for my manager, coaches and teammates. ...
