One more thing...

There are plenty of Red Sox bloggers out there.
And now a new competitor has arrived.
Curt Schilling has started his own blog. This isn't the first time a professional player has a blog, but it may be the first time a pro I writing his own stuff in a more timely manner.
He has already entertained me with his first entries. I'm getting a better sense of who the Ace pitcher is.
Ever the skeptic, I wonder if fans are getting played.
It's not always what a person writes or says, but what a person doesn't write or say that could be equally noteworthy.
In his last entry, Schilling writes how great Mr. Steinbrenner is and how great his former boss in Arizona was. Spend, spend, spend.
But he doesn't really mention how his current bosses are operating.
He doesn't come right out and blame Varitek for calling for a fastball, but he does write that he questioned throwing the pitch before it went sailing over the wall. (Nevermind that the location was off.)
I will be reading it regularly, but with caution. Do not believe everything you read. Well, unless I wrote it.

Comments

Maybe you should check out the comments before trying to interpret Schilling's remarks. He mentions in one response that 'Tek is right 99/100 times, that it is always on the pitcher when a pitch is hit, and that what went wrong was his failure to mentally commit to the pitch before throwing it. Pretty clearly, there was no veiled criticism of Varitek intended in Schilling's remarks. He also comments on his respect for the Sox management/ownership. Maybe you are trying too hard to read between the lines.
