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

Curt Schilling has nothing better to do between innings of an elimination game (Sox were down 3-2) than paint and repaint a reddish blotch on his sock?

If you believe that, there are bridges in Brooklyn and Queens that I want to sell you.

 

Don't hear no buzzing at the moment.

It must be all around 38pitches.com, where the fat asswipe bemoans senseless murder in the wake of the happenings of April 16.

So, I guess the NBA and NHL playoffs, and NFL draft, hasn't been exciting enough. So that is why this is getting WAY more ink than it deserves.

I do believe this would be my pick for biggest non-story of the decade.

geee-zus.

 

I see that winded asshole in Congress in 10 years, blustering and pontificating on more than just stem cell research and foreign diplomacy, and I bet my bottom dollar on it.

With God's grace I will be jiggling Scotch somewhere in southern Europe at that time.

 

NFL draft and exciting in the same sentence?

Thats because he jumped the Shark, they should distance themselves from idiots like this.

IIRC, Thorne told ESPN what the OU coach said, and ESPN ran with it without telling OU about it at first, in effect causing OU to force the coach to resign when the story was ran over and over on the WWL.

Back to the topic, if Thorne was going with what Mirabelli said, then Mirabelli would have had enough sense to say "I'm joking when I say this, but that bloody sock could have been painted. Hee hee hee." But if Mirabelli said without cracking a smile and for Gary to run with it, all of this goes back to Mirabelli because he said it, or that is what he is denying.

 

Typical.

Gary Thorne worked and established himself with the Mets well before his professional prime, and remains one of the best. Can anyone here honestly say he ever got in the way of a broadcast?

So, every time you tell a joke, you say, "now, I'm joking when I say this, but..." Seriously? It's not possible Mirabelli deadpanned a joke, and didn't realize Thorne was going to take it seriously? That's not possible AT ALL???

Oh, and LJB, thanks for the jackass remark. I've never had to work so little to earn that title. Sheesh, take a fucking chill pill.

 

You substantiate him, you earned it. YOU swallow it.

 

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

"I substantiate him?" Are you daft? So I'm a jackass because I support the baseball team - and by extension the players - my father supported, and his father supported, and so on and so forth? Seriously? Your priorities, and those of quite a few people on this thread, are severely out of whack if you really think that way. Holy crap, dude, it's just sports.

 

It's not just sports or baseball to him. That's the point.

He's been like this since October 1993 when he watched Mitch Williams through a towel, begging to find cameras. Is that a great teammate? It's all about him and it always has been, and now it's even more, and it's CRAP.

The fakest guy in sports.
