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

Good point (although Millar and Schilling are good friends). At the same point, how do they really know? Did they touch the blood on the sock?

To be honest, I really don't care ... it's kind of a funny story in that it got way blown out of proportion since it involves the Red Sox (and Yankees).

The worst thing for the never-ending Red Sox-Yankees rivalry, relative to this story, would be for someone to prove the truth one way or the other.

 

Follow the shoe!

 

Schilling is a victim.

 

I know. Just addressing the point you brought up, that former teammates are also speaking up for Schilling.

 

``If you haven't figured it out by now, working in the media is a pretty nice gig,'' the pitcher wrote. ``Barring outright plagiarism or committing a crime, you don't have to be accountable if you don't want to.''

Nice quote from Curt.

 

Nobody ever said Schilling wasn't a prick. Doesn't excuse what Thorne did, though.

Shilling's sock is the new Shroud of Turin. And curt - I'm not saying its fake, like the fake shroud of turin, because I don't have a million bucks to donate to ALS. I mean the shroud as in a stupid, overhyped story about nothing. Shill should be happy people are talking about his bravery instead of his gut.

 

Heyman was just on Rome is Burning (certainly don't make a habit of watching it, the whole show is like nails on a chalkboard) but anyways he came off like an idiot. He's still saying it was paint and not blood, and his whole basis is that Schilling is a liar.

Heyman and Schilling have a little "history" between them. But this story really isn't about Schilling, as amusing as his blog was to read this morning. Thorne made a stupid-ass mistake giving voice to such an absurd story. Even if he had heard Mirabelli say something to that effect, a) any reporter with more than two days' experience would understand he was joking, and b) even if he thought Mirabelli was serious, he would then need to pursue the story and get more information about it.

As it was, he's basically saying that he's known for a year or two that it was really paint on the sock but decided to wait until April 2007 to nonchalantly toss it out there on a game broadcast. Amazingly dumb.

 

Exactly.

And I wondered about Schilling and Heyman when I heard that Heyman was saying it was paint on the sock. I know Schilling has a history of picking out certain reporters and giving them a tremendous amount of shit.

 

What a fucking cocksucker.

One guy pisses him off and Curt pisses on everybody.

Playing baseball is a pretty nice gig, too, you asshole. Pump yourself full of every pharmaceutical you can get your hands on and then break Hank Aaron's record.

Should we lump Curt in with Barry Bonds the way he lumps us all together because he's pissed at one dumb announcer?

I hate jocks. More and more.
