Curt Schilling Will (Most Likely) Pitch No More Forever

Is this the end for our bloody-hosed hero? With his announcement this morning that he will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, Curt Schilling has most likely also announced his de facto retirement. He discclosed his plans on WEEI's Dennis and Callahan show, and the Boston Globe is confirming it: No Schilling in 2008, and the soonest he might be back is the All-Star break in 2009, and then most likely not with the Red Sox. Or at all. More »

Schilling's Doctor Perfects The Art Of Crap-Talking

Apparently, even Curt Schilling's personal physicans have big mouths. In an act of either monumentally selfish publicity hounding or a Herculean display of testicular fortitude, Dr. Craig Morgan, Schilling's "personal doctor", said that Curt was so infuriated with the Red Sox handling of his bum shoulder that he'd consider coming back next year to ... gasp...pitch for the Yankees.

Curt Schilling Has Surgery By Blog


Another thing we love about Curt Schilling's blog: When offseason news items come up, he just gives "no comments" to all media and then writes about it there. This led the following beautiful words on the ESPN crawl: "ESPN's Jayson Stark reports that Schilling has no comment." Hey, thanks, Jayson! More »

Curt Schilling Used To Rock Much Harder Than He Does Now

You might see Curt Schilling as a blowhard, but trust us, he used to be cool. How do we know? Boston Magazine has a copy of a minor league program from 1986 reveals Schilling's rocking soul. More »

Curt Schilling On His Bonus Clause, And Others'

Curt Schilling, on his immaculately typed blog this week, blasted the new Baseball Writers Association rule that says anyone who has an incentive in their contract to win an MVP or Cy Young award will be ineligible. There's money to be lost, but that doesn't seem to be his issue; actually, we're not sure what his issue is, though it does give him license to hammer Bill Conlin, which is kind of funny. (Check your email, Curt: An angry missive is surely coming!) More »

You're Not Getting Rid Of Schilling That Easily

For one day only, it's the return of the Daily Closer!

Get Ready For More Curt, Boston. There are certain people who are allowed to use the first-person plural possessive in blog entries. For some, it works. Curt Schilling is not one of those. From Schilling's 38 Pitches:

Take That, Papi


Because we wouldn't be Deadspin if we didn't post some disturbing, pseudo-bukkake-esque celebration photos, we give you your 2007 American League Champion Boston Red Sox version. We are still giggling that Ortiz had his goggles on in the dugout with two outs left to go.

Barry Bonds Is Taking Curt Schilling Deep

We might not get our Ron Mexico trial, but there's plenty of potentially awesome litigation that could come down the pipeline. It appears that Barry Bonds might take on Curt Schilling ... in the courtroom. More »

We really want to like Curt Schilling, we really do. We admire his site and can't deny his ability to raise his game at the most important of moments. But man: Sometimes we really wish he'd just be quiet. More »

It Tastes Like The Back Of A LA School Bus

Ever wonder what it would be like to see Manny Ramirez savor the aroma of fine wine? (Manny, that's not grape juice ... Manny ... Manny ....) Get yourself to Yawkey Way tomorrow to see three Red Sox show off their new wines. It will be nice to see Schilling use a spit cup for something other than chaw.

Who's Sorry Now? Curt Schilling Edition

The Curt Schilling/Barry Bonds Tempest in a Specimen Cup took another odd turn on Wednesday, as friends and loved ones of the Red Sox pitcher hastily organized an intervention on his behalf. On Tuesday Schilling lit into Bonds, with the famous "He admitted to cheating on his wife, cheating on his taxes, and cheating on the game," quote on the radio. But on Wednesday, after a rebuke from Sox manager Terry Francona (with Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow even chiming in), Schilling decided to cut his losses. More »

The Airing Of Grievances: Curt Schilling Edition

It kind of makes sense that with Curt Schilling pitching only every fifth day, he would then have four days left over for complaining. First on his list is Barry Bonds. When asked on WEEI's "Dennis and Callahan" radio show if he thinks Bonds' home run totals are tainted, Schilling said: More »

It's Important That You Remember That Roger Clemens Is Your Savior

Last week, Curt Schilling was accused of self-aggrandizing ego worship for supposedly painting blood on his sock, or whatever it was. Schilling's impassioned defense of his own heroism was both absolutely correct — the man has a right to defend himself against false claims — and completely fitting, because it allowed Schilling to further do what he does almost as well as he pitches: Promote his own legend.
