Gary Thorne: It was paint on Schilling's sock in Game 6 of the LCS, not blood

Curt would make something up??

 

Re: Gary Thorne: It was paint on Schilling's sock, not blood

This will not end quietly.

 

Re: Gary Thorne: It was paint on Schilling's sock, not blood

It was apparently a joke by Mirabelli, taken too seriously by Thorne. Who would be foolish enough to paint a bloody sock? The truth would have leaked by now anyway.

 

Re: Gary Thorne: It was paint on Schilling's sock, not blood

I'd just like to put give Mirabelli and Schilling lie-detector tests. Thorne's a solid guy and I can't think of a reason why he'd make that up. Perhaps Mirabelli said it, but was kidding?

 

Re: Gary Thorne: It was paint on Schilling's sock, not blood

Then why did Mirabelli not admit that he was joking about this. Or has he?

 

Re: Gary Thorne: It was paint on Schilling's sock, not blood

He denied he said this at all and according to the quote, is very pissed about his name being used with such a bold statement. I'm just guessing he cracked a joke a few years back and doesn't even remember.

If it was paint on the sock, we'd have found out before 2007. Shaungnessy would have been licking his chops, eager to expose Schilling and get some pub.

 

Re: Gary Thorne: It was paint on Schilling's sock, not blood

Until either Thorne says Mirabelli might have been joking OR Mirabelli admits he said it but adds that he was joking OR somebody admits that it was paint, there will be questions.

 

Re: Gary Thorne: It was paint on Schilling's sock, not blood

I believe Gary Thorne, and his bullshit detector.

Sometimes our willingness to back other members of the media on this site no matter what amazes me.

 

Re: Gary Thorne: It was paint on Schilling's sock, not blood

Thanks for the impartial fanboy response.


Isn't the sock in Cooperstown? If so, could it come to a head where they actually test the thing? Hell, we could send David Caruso up there.

 

Re: Gary Thorne: It was paint on Schilling's sock, not blood

So, is that your way of saying Thorne made it up?

 

Re: Gary Thorne: It was paint on Schilling's sock, not blood

Gary Thorne is a lawyer most definitely NOT with a proclivity for on-air bombast. I have been listening to the guy regularly for almost 25 years.

If he said it, Mirabelli said it.

Mirabelli MAY have been joking.

But there is no way "he didn't say it."
