Schilling To Undergo Surgery

It was announced today that Red Saawx pitcher Curt Schilling will undergo season and probably career ending surgery. No matter what you think about the guy personally...and I think he's a jerk...he certainly delivered for the Saawx!!! Remember the bloody sock!!!

Not sure he is Hall material. If I remember correctly his lifetime record is about 70 or so games over 500...and his era is in the mid 4 range. Those might be borderline Hall stats...but...he's never been a favorite of the media. Even though he is very quotable...they don't like him. Witness what this has done to another legit Hall guy...Jim Rice.

Bye Schill. Thanks for the 04 season. I can remember the Ford commercial he did. In the desert in AZ and this red ford truck pulls up. He says headed to boston the break and 86 year old curse.

Cool commercial.

Now I wont miss his pissy way with people. The blog or calling WEEI to complain.

You got that right.. We have to give him props for helping win it all..

He succeeded where Pedro failed..

He is a big mouth complainer, but none the less he is going to the Hall..

I don't think so. He had 3 great years, no CY awards, 216 wins. The numbers just don't add up.
