Curt Schilling hates the media and says the blood on his sock was real.
Schilling also offered $1 million to anybody who wants to test the sock.
I don’t know about you, but I’d pay $1 million to have this story and Schilling go away. It is just tedious.
Dan Shaughnessy and Mike Barnicle were on with Mike and the Maddog this morning. They hinted that this ridiculous blog (I mean, is there ONE entry that’s less than 1000 words?!) came about because Curt didn’t like that Matsuzaka was stealing all his press attention.
Sure, we know that Shaughnessy has his own issues with The Great One, but it’s still an entertaining notion.
I was at the game and just this coming up again makes me want to puke. Pete post something else quick I had a rough night last night as it is… damn 10 cup beer pong
Seriously is there anyone that is more annoying that Curt Schilling?
are you kidding me? if you want it to go away then dont write about it… Logic 101!!!
Pete,
Did you have to put his ugly mug on the website…lol
Bloody sock? I thought it was the bloody GLOVE?
I need a bloody Mary….
Peter,
I agree with Frank. Get his annoying face off this great YANKEES blog.
I agree with people above, get his picture off your blog, it’s making me sick. Quick put a picture of Jeter or Arod up.
I’m so tired of hating Schilling that I almost don’t care anymore.
If that was actually blood, why didn’t it spread on the sock throughout the game? If he was bleeding badly enough to soak through, wouldn’t the stain keep getting bigger?
Maybe it’s blood that was intentionally placed on the sawk.
Surely there are more fat clown cartoons you could’ve used again…
Someone needs to photoshop up a 04ish picture of the clown at a sherwinn williams store.
How about a picture of Elmer Fudd or Bill O’Reilly instead? People who make a lot of noise without saying much – Representative of Curt (“My son’s name is Gehrig and I pretend to hate the Yankees”) Schilling, but we don’t have to look at him.
check the security cameras where the sock is stored… he might have cut some bloody fat off his belly onto his sock when news leaked.
There aren’t enough words to describe how much I loathe this human stain.
“Seriously is there anyone that is more annoying that Curt Schilling?”
My ex girlfriend.
I don’t think the story is even whether or not it was blood or not. I think the story is that because it’s Schilling we actually believe there’s a CHANCE he faked it. That’s how this guy is thought of — a shameless self-promoter with a big mouth who would do anything to put the spotlight on himself. I don’t think we would believe this of anyone else. Dennis Rodman thinks Schilling needs to stop being an attention-hog.
One thing about this story: there’s no way a broadcaster, who has also worked for ESPN, would ruin his reputation by lying about what a player told him. NO WAY. It’s not like he said, “Oh, some player — who I won’t name — told me this.” He actually outed Mirabelli as the guy. I don’t know why he would do it, but Mirabelli definitely told him that Schilling faked the blood stain.
So Schill’s issue isn’t with the media; it’s with his own teammates.
In reading Curt’s blog, I think one of the most relevant comments came from one of his fans. He told Curt that he should “stop trying to micro-manage the media into reporting what YOU want.” This guy was absolutely correct.
We all know the media can be a bit over the top at times, creating mountains out of molehills. The media will always have that element, whether they’re knocking Curt’s bloody sock or A-rod’s contract. Curt seems to think that his blog will be able to cure all of this, and he’s sorely mistaken. In fact, he’s going to generate more ire towards him by members of the media, and it will only result in more negative press…
ROFL PETE!!!!!!!!!!!! Much better picture, the likeness to Schilling is so realistic.
Ha, ha, ha. I agree — much better pic this time.
Schilling brings it on himself. There’s a reason last year he was voted the least liked player by his peers in an Esquire poll. He’s a self absorbed blowhard. I love the nickname his former manager Jim Fregosi gave him – “Mr Red Light”. Curt always knows when the red light of the camera is pointing at him.
Does anyone out there (besides another ballplayer) have a million bucks take up Schilling on his ridiculous offer?
Of course not. No one in their right mind, even if they had the cash to burn, would take him up on this idiotic offer.
If Schilling was really interested in ending the story, he’d have the sox tested HIMSELF at his own expense. But Schill wants this story live on more than anyone else beacuse it keeps him (and his moment of glory) in the spotlight. Do you think its any accident that he wants to keep the shining moment of his Red Sox career in the spotlight in a contract year? Don’t be fooled into thinking this guy is a “victim” of the media for 1 minute…he’s manipulating this story for maximum benefit to himself.
I’ve no doubt there’s blood on the sock in the Hall. But wasn’t that given to them months later?
Iirc, the idea that Cheeseburger Schilling had faked it came from some former D-back team-mates who’d asked why the blood stain hadn’t spread as the game went on, and who had experience w/ his self-promotion.
Frankly, btw, I wouldn’t have put it past the production geniuses at Foxsports to have had a hand in ye olde ketchup sawk.
That picture is much better. Schellings picture makes me sick!!!
Such a fuss over laundry.
The sock in Cooperstown is from the World Series game. Schilling says he thinks one of the Yankee clubhouse guys has the original bloody sock from the playoff game in NY!!
Are you kidding, keep the story going!!! It’s nice to have a media circus about a stupid story in Boston instead of around the Bronx.
who cares? aren’t you supposed to keep playing if you’re bleeding?
Blood or not what does it matter. Curt is still an pompous ass. Just shut up and pitch. I don’t get it I have to get his opinions on everything? Nobody cares or should care Curt. Just pitch and get smacked around again by us please.
By the way, I fully expect a “ketchup sock” chant next time pudgy pitches at the stadium. Clearly this story bothers him.
Javi:
Unfortunately, Yankees fans in general could learn a thing or two from their local hockey fan counterparts. Just ask Theo Fleury how creative we can be. Although I wouldn’t put it past the Bleacher Creatures to chant something like that.
Hey, he’s responsible for that 2004 ring. That club’s hatred of that self-important windbag definitely united them.
Yankee fans only need to watch a few English Premier League games to get some good ideas.
i posted this in a prevoius thread, but i had a dream a few nights back on the night i first heard rumors about the sock that everyone threw red magic markers onto the field when he took the mound at the stadium.
The pic says it all Peter, Schilling is a clown.
YEA! TOO BAD THE SOCK IN QUESTION WAS PUT THROUGH THE WASHING MACHINE! IT’S NOT THE ONE IN THE HOF!
Judging by listening to Mike and the Maddog and watching the 6-11pm news channels around NY last night, the Yankees fans care more about this story than anyone. It’s over, focus on your pitching this weekend.
Just loved the clown picture… Just loved it!
Never mind testing the blood on Curt Schilling’s sock. I want them to test the vomit on Eric “Stumpy Joe” Childs of Spinal Tap.
Is Schilling the “Voice of Baseball” ????. To get the direct answer, ask him or go to his Boston blog. Don’t count on a “no” answer.
The dud (not dude) is a colossal blowhard, attention getter supreme.
