"Likable, in spite of himself"
Will Leitch has a mildly amusing piece in the NY Times today about MLB's most likable pitcher, Curtis Schilling. HA...did you see that? Sarcasm.
Leitch manages to compare Schilling to 1) Eddie Haskell from Leave it to Beaver, 2) a monorail salesman, and 3) Roger Dorn from Major League. Yep, that about sums Schilling.
Anyway, last night's performance against the Rockies was great; not brilliant or spectacular, but really good. And hopefully, his last.
Thanks Curt. Great job. Thanks for the wins and ring (soon to be rings). Now get the hell out.
Please, go. Tip your hat and walk off into the cornfield.
I can't pinpoint exactly what it is about I dislike so much about Schilling -- the egotism, the holier-than-thou attitude, the fact that if he cared to read this blog he'd respond in more words than all my posts combined -- but I need him to go. Boston needs him to go.
That's all. Just had to get that off my chest.

How much is Schilling asking for?
Yes, he's fat and old, and yes, he's a prick-and-a-half, but he's pitched 350 innings with 122 ERA-plus over the past two years. That kind of production merits at least a second look, doesn't it?
