June 20, 200818 yr BOSTON -- Curt Schilling will have surgery on his ailing shoulder Monday, ending his season and possibly his career. The 41-year-old Boston Red Sox right-hander will have the operation after a rehabilitation program preferred by the team failed to fix the tendon injury that sparked a spring training dispute between doctors about how to treat it. "My season is over and there is a pretty decent chance I have thrown my last pitch forever," Schilling said Friday on WEEI radio in Boston. http://www.espn.com
June 20, 200818 yr I'd say this is good news for those of us that can't stand him but our luck will have it that he ends up in the booth.
June 20, 200818 yr He's a good pitcher, but I doubt anyone will miss his mouth. I doubt his mouth will go anywhere.
June 20, 200818 yr I hate to hear this. I'm not a big fan, but there's no denying that CS is/was a great big-game pitcher. Cooperstown? Maybe, maybe not.
June 21, 200818 yr Yeah, people who tell it like it is....We sure could use less of them... More like people who like to hear themselves speak. I don't have a problem with Curt Schilling, but there was a point in time where he was talking waaaayyy too much.
June 21, 200818 yr He's a good pitcher, but I doubt anyone will miss his mouth. :thumb: He is a first class jerk!
June 21, 200818 yr I'd say he'll make it, probably not first-ballot though. If he's judged soley on his overall #'s I think he falls just short. Tommy John & Bert (be home) Blyleven have better career #'s & they're not in (yet). W/ that said, I'd put his post-season #'s up against anyone's in the history of the game &, if he ultimately gets in, it will be his post-season performances that get him there...Personally I'll be pulling for him...:thumb:
