  • 5 reasons Curt Schilling needs to be a Detroit Tiger
    As if you haven't heard, Curt Schilling has let it be known on his blog what 13 teams he deems acceptable to play for in 2008. Surprisingly, the Detroit Tigers are one of those teams.Cleveland, Detroit, Anaheim, New York Mets, Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A., S.D., Arizona, Chicago Cubs, St. Louis, Milwaukee.The consensus amongst the Tigers blogging Hoi Polloi is that the signing of Schilling is something the Tigers have to explore. As a Hoi Polloi wannabe, I have to say I concur with their opinions, but for more than just the reason that Schilling is still a very effective pitcher, especially in big games.1. So Detroit fans can hopefully have their own post season bloody sock legend. The closest thing we have to a Tigers leg/ankle related legend is Dave Rozema's knee exploding karate kick during the memorable bench clearing, fist flying melee between the Tigers and Twins in May 1982. (You Tube goodness below for the youngsters too young to remember that wondrous ass kicking brawl)2. The
  • Schilling...so close in bid for no-no
    Don't shake off your catcher...especially Varitek.The Red Sox 40 year-old starting pitcher Curt Schilling came within one out of his first career no-hitter Thursday, losing his bid when Shannon Stewart lined a clean single to right field in Boston's 1-0 victory over the Oakland Athletics. Schilling retired Mark Kotsay and Jason Kendall on grounders to shortstop for the first two outs of the ninth. Then Stewart stepped up and lined the first pitch through the hole between first and second for Oakland's only hit. Schilling said he shook off catcher Jason Varitek on that pitch, going with a fastball instead of a slider. "We get two outs, and I was sure, and I had a plan, and I shook Tek off," Schilling said. "And I get a big what if for the rest of my life." It's not the first time a Boston pitcher shook off Varitek in the ninth inning only to see a no-hitter get broken up. Pedro Martinez did it in 2000 against Tampa Bay, giving up a single to John Flaherty on a fastball instead of the c
  • Curt Schilling's 38 Pitches
    It's pretty cool to have such a high-profile baseball player writing his own blog. 38 Pitches is from the man with the bloody sock, Boston Red Sox ace pitcher, Curt Schilling. He goes into great detail in his descriptions of the previous night's game. It's nice to think of him typing away on the red-eye flight home. I'm not sure about all the references to US troops in the Middle East. I guess it's a cultural difference. It's interesting to see how an elite sportsman thinks about the game.
