Schilling Goes Against Doctor’s Orders

Doctor’s orders: Curt Schilling needs shoulder surgery. The Red Sox: Rehab will do the trick. 
Chances are the doc knows what works and what doesn’t. So why is the pitcher going against an informed medical opinion?
Schilling says he has “no choice” but to opt for rehab over surgery.  If he doesn’t, the Red Sox could void his $8M […]

Curt Schilling is a No Go

 . . . at least until the All-Star break, that is. The 41-year-old Red Sox pitcher has a partial tear in his rotator cuff. Schilling is not having surgery but will work on rehabbing the shoulder for now.
The buzz in Beantown concerns #38’s contract and whispers that the Sox “at least inquired about the possibility” of his $8M deal […]

Roger Clemens’ Agent Says, “Nuh-Uh”

Randy Hendricks, agent to Roger Clemens, can now add “Defender of the Rocket” to his business card.
Hendricks released an 18,000-word statistical report today in response to former trainer Brian McNamee’s allegations that the would-be Hall of Famer jumped on the steroid bandwagon. Fortunately, we’ve taken the time to decode and summarize the whole shebang for […]

The Rocket Gets All You Tube-y on Us

Sure, we poked fun at Roger Clemens the other day. And yes, we rah-rahed Curt Schilling for calling The Rocket on the artificial turf.
Get it? Instead of calling him on the carpet? We know, we know. All those cookies and all that fudge sapped our ability to make halfway decent puns, ok? Things will get back to normal once we leave […]

A Stocking Stuffer for the Athlete in Your Life

Who knew that the goodfellas over at eTrueSports double as go-to guys for last-minute gift ideas? Head to your nearest GNC and ask if they have this just-hit-the-shelves dietary supplement. Get it while you can!

We’re not the betting type, but if we were, we’d wager our soon-to-be Santa swag that Curt Schilling won’t be finding this under […]

Schilling Fires a Rocket

We haven’t yet touched on that White Elephant known as the Mitchell Report, but the time is right now that Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling has made things interesting.
You know how Roger “The Rocket” Clemens said “nuh-uh” in response to steroid accusations? Well, our pal (and “ah, if only” dinner date) Curt Schilling blogged about it yesterday. Here’s […]

Big (Dinner) Plans for 2008

“Auld Lang Syne,” champagne, and ball-dropping (not that kind! Unless you come in from the cold . . .) are just a few weeks away. Know what that means, kiddos?
It’s New Year’s Resolution time! And in 2008, yours truly is aiming higher than a pre-rehab Lindsay Lohan.
The goal: To have dinner with our favorite re-signed free agents, […]

Top Five Things to be Thankful For*

* If you’re a New England sports fan or have the patience to tolerate one, through good times and bad.
1. Please. This item has the surprise element of Plan 9 From Outer Space, but we have to state the obvious: The Red Sox winning the World Series.
2. The Patriots making it 10-0. Pretty soon “Spygate,” if […]

Funniest Blog Comment Ev-ah

Dear readers, we beg encourage you to leave comments. There are some true gems to be had in the comments section of a blog, and here’s your inspiration.
Perceptive Prospero sent this to us. It’s from Curt Schilling’s 38 Pitches blog under the 2003 Opening Letter post. Very big wish-we-thought-of-it thumbs up to commenter #39 (menuhub) for making us […]
