Curt Schilling

Dan Shaughnessy's nightmare

By adamg - 2/17/08 - 10:57 am

Shaughnessy is in full-bore shank mode today, ripping into Curt "Big Lug" Schilling. Why'd he wait so long? Now that he's getting older, must take him longer to collect all his bile in a jar. Or as Dan Shaughnessy Watch puts it:

... In the end, this was an amateurish hack job. In the ultimate irony....Shaughnessy, the media whore himself, is spread too thin with writing books and showing up on TV to be capable of writing a legitimate piece. I wonder if Shaughnessy wakes up in the middle of night and sees the beady eyes of a monster in the corner and thinks to himself "That must be the Big Lug" before he realizes that he is just looking in the mirror.

Truck Day is tomorrow

Maybe this will take your mind off this.

Schilling done for?

By adamg - 2/7/08 - 2:47 pm

Herald: Schilling could be lost for season.

Peter finds himself tearing up at the news.

Nick: Blogging-related injury?

38 Pitches is still quiet as I type this - Schilling has since blogged, keep reading.

No, not that one. Curt Schilling has made his 2008 presidential endorsement.

Schilling reacts to the Schilling Clause

By adamg - 12/5/07 - 5:26 pm

Curt Schilling reacts to the possibility any player who has an award incentive clause (like he now has, under which he gets an extra $1 million next year if he gets a single Cy Young nomination) would be ineligible for that award by calling some of the reporters who vote on such things hacks, stupid and unfair.

It's official: Schilling to remain on Red Sox one more year

By adamg - 11/6/07 - 2:18 pm

Schilling posts the news - and even the financial particulars of the deal (he gets $1 million extra if he gets even a single vote for the Cy Young Award):

We agreed to a 1 year contract late last night. Today was the MRI, which I passed. Still trying to soak it all in. ...

We got EXACTLY what we wanted, and then some. This is where we want our career to come to a close. This city, this team. This is where we want to retire, raise our kids, and walk away. We got it, all of it, and more. ...

Curt Schilling: Looks like another year with the Sox

By adamg - 11/6/07 - 12:13 am

Schilling writes he's now expecting to sign a one-year contract with the Sox:

... There are some things to iron out and details that must be finalized for both sides but barring something unforseen or outrageously odd happening I feel very comfortable that I will finish my career here.

The next Red Sox team song?

It may be Breaking Up Is Hard To Do.

Taking it all in

By adamg - 10/22/07 - 9:37 am

Curt Schilling high-fives Josh Beckett:

... After game 4 it got very easy in the sense that there was zero gray area, it was win or go home. That's not to make it sound trivial but game 5 was truly the first time this entire season when we had our backs to the wall for real, and the team responded as a championship team has to, and will. ...

Pauline: We're going to the world series baby!!!! Bring on the Christians.

It's not plagiarism if you're copying your own stuff

By adamg - 10/20/07 - 3:47 pm

Dan Shaughnessy Watch reports that the CHB's Curt Schilling column today is basically the same as his Curt Schilling column on Oct. 8:

... Now a little prediction, if Schill gets bombed tonight, the Shank claws will come out in full force ...

Remember the guy at the end of the Curt Schilling Dunkin' Donuts commercial?

By adamg - 9/3/07 - 10:54 pm

I admit it: I'm a big fan of Curt Schilling as a ballplayer. And I love nothing more than a cutting blog post. Especially one about Dan Shaughnessy. But even still, tonight I feel like that guy who pulls Curt aside as he tries to learn Boston English in that commercial: No, no, Curt, you don't have to stoop to the CHB's level.

Schilling and 'roid rage

By adamg - 5/10/07 - 8:42 pm

Bruce Allen: Does anyone else see the irony in WEEI hosts criticizing Curt Schilling for saying stupid things on the radio?

Schilling: I shouldn't have called Barry Bonds a tax-cheating, philandering 'roidhead

By adamg - 5/9/07 - 3:26 pm

Schilling apologizes:

... It was a callous, wreckless and irresponsible thing to say, and for that I apologize to Barry, Barry's family, Barry's friends and the Giants organization, my teammates and the Red Sox organization as well as anyone else that may have been offended by the comments I made. ...

What Schilling said.

Curt Schilling fires back

By adamg - 4/27/07 - 9:14 am

As only Curt could - with a nice long rant about how reporters in general are vermin, but especially that loser Baltimore announcer:

Orioles announcer: I'm an idiot

By adamg - 4/26/07 - 9:45 pm

Accepts the fact that he can't tell when Doug Mirabelli is joking.

Soxaholix: Baltimore is without a doubt the biggest bungholiest city in the entiah U S of A.

Memos to David Ortiz and to Orioles announcers

By adamg - 4/26/07 - 7:39 am

Beth wraps up last night's game and includes this request to Big Papi:

... Thank you for that tremendous at-bat that broke Cabrera's stalemate with Schilling, broke open the game and possibly even broke Cabrera's spirit. However, we in Red Sox Nation kindly ask that you cease and desist flirting with disaster by sliding like a jumbo jet coming in for a crash landing every time you are on base. ...

Not the best of starts

By adamg - 4/2/07 - 11:17 pm

Curt Schilling tries to figure out what happened:

Not sure where to even start. Two words sum it up best, no command. Can't remember a game where I couldn't make adjustments but today was certainly one of those. ...

Soxfan to Schilling: Less blogging, better pitching.
