Breaking: Curt Schilling is a dick

After not being elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, he writes this letter.

"I will not participate in the final year of voting. I am requesting to be removed from the ballot. I’ll defer to the veterans committee and men whose opinions actually matter and who are in a position to actually judge a player. I don’t think I’m a hall of famer as I’ve often stated but if former players think I am then I’ll accept that with honor."


Booooooooo Hooooooooooooooo you fucking prick. If you don't think you are a HOFer, why should you care?

FUCK YOU!!

When you admit to using steroids, which you did, we'll talk, you simpering tool!
You're an ass, a cheater, and a pathetic whiner.
Clearly not hall of fame material.

the "bloody sock game" is one of my best memories.... watching him descend into madness in his retirement has been really sad to watch. there was a time i would have picked up his tab if i saw him eating in a restaurant. now i find him despicable and i wouldn't offer him a dime if he needed to call a cab.

The fake bloody sock? And Jeebus it's not like he went through any hardship. Any injured player that stays in a game would ge pumped with whatever drugs they need to finish. It was a game not some heroic act.

And on edit, why in the world would you pick up the tab for any multimillionaire?

I believe it was a very slow healing surface wound which is negative side effect of steroids.
Now, add that he gained 3mph of his fastball & 4" of break on his slider after he turned 32.
Very suspicious, indeed.
He's a world class d'head, a whiny jerk & a cheater.

Why is he bitching? If you didn’t make the cut? To bad! The only one who is complaining is Schilling!

"You cowards sat on your hands, did nothing while liberal trash looted rioted and burned for air Jordan’s and big screens," Schilling tweeted. "sit back [shut up] and watch folks start a confrontation for [s--t] that matters like rights, democracy and the end of [government] corruption. #itshappening."

On January 6th.

Hes just not.

When you compare him to guys like Maddux, Randy Johnson, or Pedro....those guys were clearly more dominant. Glavine wasn't, but he as a 10+ game winner every season after his debut year. Smith doesn't have the numbers, until you realize he has 150 saves on top of his years as a starter. Most guys can't make that switch.


There is one guy in thatm compares to Schilling and he shouldn't be in either. Mike Mussina.
