Here's an interesting bit of news sent a long through tips. Red Sox pitcher and 38 Pitches blogger, Curt Schilling, will take his candid Red Sox observations and weird right-wing ranting over to WEEI. As you know, WEEI is scooping up popular bloggers left and right, most recently signing up Will Leitch to do a "
Heavens to Betsy, I'm just a Midwestern guy writing about Boston, sir!" column once a week. Surprisingly, Schilling demands even more control than Will does when it comes to precious words. Because, you know, Schil's an artist:

Bill Lee isn't famous because he was a good pitcher for a few years in the 1970s. He's famous (and beloved) because he has absolutely no filtering mechanism between his brain and his mouth. The man is a quote machine and so when Boston recently honored him, Mo Vaughn and Mike Greenwell by inducting them all into the Red Sox Hall of Fame, who do you think the reporters went to first to get some good sound bites. And boy, oh boy,
did he deliver.

You didn't think a little thing not throwing a single pitch this season was going to keep Curt Schilling's name out the ALCS headlines, did you? The Boston Red Sox have been preparing for Game 1 against the Rays without the assistance of their ace starting pitcher, but his orthopedic surgeon thought that today might be a good time to remind the organization that Curt and his robotic ankle could be starting and winning that game and maybe two or three more in the series,
if only those dumb dummies had listened to him 10 months ago.

Everyone knows that Curt Schilling loves John McCain. But can the Republican presidential nominee trust the Red Sox pitcher when it comes to something much more important than an election...his wife? At a recent charity event, Curt Schilling confused Cindy McCain with his wife and held hands with her. The
Boston Herald has the the steamy details.

baseball's loss is everquest II's gain
Is this the end for our bloody-hosed hero? With his announcement this morning that he will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, Curt Schilling has most likely also announced his
de facto retirement. He discclosed his plans on WEEI's Dennis and Callahan show, and
the Boston Globe is confirming it: No Schilling in 2008, and the soonest he might be back is the All-Star break in 2009, and then most likely not with the Red Sox. Or at all.

Apparently, even Curt Schilling's personal physicans have big mouths. In an act of either monumentally selfish publicity hounding or a Herculean display of testicular fortitude, Dr. Craig Morgan, Schilling's "personal doctor", said that Curt was so infuriated with the Red Sox handling of his bum shoulder that he'd consider coming back next year to ...
gasp...pitch for the Yankees.

Another thing we love about Curt Schilling's blog: When offseason news items come up, he just gives "no comments" to all media
and then writes about it there. This led the following beautiful words on the ESPN crawl: "ESPN's Jayson Stark reports that Schilling has no comment." Hey, thanks, Jayson!

Curt Schilling, on his immaculately typed blog this week,
blasted the new Baseball Writers Association rule that says anyone who has an incentive in their contract to win an MVP or Cy Young award will be ineligible. There's money to be lost, but that doesn't seem to be his issue; actually, we're not sure what his issue is, though it does give him license to hammer Bill Conlin, which is kind of funny. (Check your email, Curt: An angry missive is surely coming!)
