Thankfully I have the day off after that crazy game last night. I randomly turn on Sportsnet while eating some strawberries and brown sugar and whom do I see? Only the author of the vaunted blog 38Pitches.com. Yes, it was Curt Schilling, my least favorite athlete of all time on Chris Myers’ show. To recap, I mean it’s only a thirty minute show, but wow was it good.
So I missed the first bit, but he did touch on the whole weight situation. Curt was a big fatty when he came into camp, but he still maintained that he was “in shape, but just a little bit heavier that expected.” Okay, it’s okay for one of my employees to be a little on the heavy side, as long as they’re healthy. I, however, don’t pay my employee $13 million to throw a baseball. If you’re job somewhat depended on the shape you were in, wouldn’t you take the most extreme precautions (save for HGH) to ensure that you were in the best shape of your life? What a self-preserving bastard.
Okay, he also talked about Matsuzaka, and how he’s trying to learn Japanese to converse with Daisuke. YEAH FUCKING RIGHT. They talked about Curt’s role in the clubhouse and whether or not he thinks he’s the ace of the staff. I think the thought of playing Tonya Harding to Matsuzaka’s Nancy Kerrigan has SERIOUSLY crossed his mind. I just don’t think he could find a band of hooligans with a metal pipe.
Here we go with the bloody sock. He’s challenging anyone who thinks it’s ketchup to call the Hall of Fame and do a DNA test. And now they’re showing lowlights of Game 6 of the ALCS. Excuse me while I shield my eyes. Curt is talking about how he just put his faith in God for that game. And now we get into Curt and religion and politics. Ugh, excuse me while I gag. Chris Myers looks a little uncomfortable so he quickly changes the subject.
Lose the DH? Curt wants to lose the DH? Doesn’t he realize that David Ortiz played a big part in him winning his second World Series? Is he an idiot? Do I want an answer to this question?
