  Curt Schilling: Tough Guy, Great Pitcher
Curt Schilling announces that if he has to leave Boston, the only team he wouldn't consider is the Yankees.

You know, I kind of like Schilling for that. It's old school.....

On the other hand, I wish he would stop talking about how the individual achievements of Red Sox players are "God's work"....

Interesting to me also that Schilling blogs—and his blog is quite interesting—but, that I know of, one member of FAS blogs.

It's great fun, for New Englanders, that Schilling is such a bigmouth except, of course, that means having to put up with his bullshit about George Bush (in '04), and God (always). Apparently the Colorado Rockies were full of Christianists, however. So if God was smiling on them, and Schilling says him too, where does that leave Him , or us? Reminds me in a strange way of the Steven Wright joke about getting a humidifier and a dehumidifer for his birthday: "So I put them in a room together and let 'em fight it out."
 
One correction: Schilling did not say the Yankees are the only team that he would not play for. He published a list of teams that he would play for, and they are limited to those that have a realistic chance of being in the post season in 2008, or in cities that his family does not want to move to, for whatever reason. The Yankees are far from the only team not on the list that have a chance next year. The Rockies, for example, aren't on it either.
 
Don't we keep listing other FAS faculty bloggers? I take your point that there are still few but am puzzled about why you don't acknowledge the others . . .
 
don't care for Schill but love the RED SOX; they won't miss him that much
