Curt Schilling

Major League Baseball on Friday released a statement about the Curt Schilling situation, following the former pitcher’s comments that he had been encouraged by a member of the Red Sox organization in 2008 to use performance-enhancing drugs.

“At the time of the incident in question in 2008, the Boston Red Sox immediately reported the allegations to Major League Baseball as required by our investigative protocols,” the MLB statement said. “Once the Red Sox reported the matter, Major League Baseball assumed sole responsibility for the investigation. The club handled the matter consistent with all MLB rules and requirements and in a manner that was above reproach.

“Major League Baseball thoroughly investigated the allegations and considers the matter closed.”

    Common Curt, shut your mouth for once. You don’t always have to be in the limelight. You had your chance to testify before congress and blew it.

    • Bsox67

      Agreed….The first microphone Curt says no thanks too will be the first.. Shut you pie hole already!

  • Sox4evah

    Curt- Shut your trap you fat bastard!!!

      Hey, everyone has an opinion right?  You got yours, he has his. We all get to express ourselves and share out opinions.  Call him what you want, and make sport of him “4evah” if you choose.  But while you do that, understand how elated you were in October of 2004.  You don’t get the chance at a World Series title. never mind winning one, without 38′s right arm.  Just reminding you, cause it appears you’re a Sox fan.

         Curt is also far more informed than any of us could dream to be given the fact he was a player.  People need to lighten up.  What happened in RI has nothing to do with his baseball career.  The guy is knowledgeable about the sport – far more than we as fan will ever be.  No if people don’t like his politics, then so be it.  It’s no different than Tim Thomas.  Both brought us championships on teams that had struggles for many decades.  SO, despite their opinions, we owe them a debt of gratitude for delivering us out of the Sports Purgatory we so quickly have forgotten we were in for a Long time.

    Will always love Shilling for 2004!He was not much a business man after baseball but he should be remembered fondly in Red Sox lore.Typical of the fickle Boston fan they have forgotten and have turned on him.Think of the list that the Boston fan has dismissed after the athlete has delivered.Shilling,Manny,Thomas,Pedrioa, and now Rondo.

      Nobody is turning on Schill, telling someone that they’re running their mouth and that what is coming out is bull **** is not “turning on them” its rendering an opinion. I don’t know of any Red Sox fan that has forgotten the contributions of Schill but that doesn’t mean we can’t criticize him – especially when he’s spinning tales of an event that can never be proven. Schill had an opportunity to tell what he knew, in front of Congress and what did he do?? Yes, that’s right, nothing. So instead of dredging up B.S. he should on this account, shut up. 

  • Boring Media Hype

    Used to love Shilling but he’s really fallen far with his actions.  But hey, he doesn’t care what I think anyway…  :)

  • Cwarwik

    I grew up on the edge of the Boston Medical research community.  I remember Bucholtz’s esophageal injury last year. I assume that the Red Sox have world-class ‘shadow’ medical options and that Lance Armstrong would be very jealous.  This is the 21st century, this is America.  I can’t imagine how anyone could seriously think otherwise.  Schilling is kind of a jerk for running his mouth to get some cheap publicity, but we already knew he was kind of a jerk

  • BlindToTheTruth

    He just makes stuff up, he should just go work for Fox News

    • Uncle Buck

      Pphh.  Ignorance is bliss.

    “We’ve turned over the tight end position, we’ve turned over the running
    back position, and we’ve turned over a number of the positions on the
    offensive line.”

    You mean until he got paid at which point he started falling backwards into the line and begging out of the game.

  • glenn88

    I thought it was a great draft. The receiver upgrade and Collins drafted for the Ninkovich role is terrific. These moves and adding Blount helps you win now. The 3rd round pick of Harmon is still a big question, but maybe he becomes a strong safety as he has the size and some college tape that shows he can deliver a violent hit. You really can’t get too excited when this team drafts more DBs and then reaches to get them.

  • Mal Tempo

    Sounds like Belichick is closing the barn door after all the horses have left…

  • patsfan

    always great answers from BB/ maybe, don’t know, it depends, etc.

  • football wizard

    Now i KNOW that BB is really a genius. Why? It’s because he listens to Me. I’ve been clamoring for a POWER BACK on the boards for awhile when no other poster gave it a second thought. Now i’ve been vindicated, even if the guy is just a situational type back like a fullback. Nice move, BB. I’m taking a bow now.

    the patriots are literally the worst team in the nfl now

    • jason

      you sir are a moron

  • Craig

    In Bill We Trust? I’m still waiting for the Pats to recover from the 2005 receiving overhaul of Branch and Givens. How many Superbowls did that cost us?

  • Night Joe, NICK JOHN BAHATI

    Important in best

  • BubbaSpeaks

    Moe is somewhat MORE of the same: Amendola, Edelman, Boyce all slot guys with little more speed than Welker but maybe not as quick well except Edelman maybe.
    Grissom is interesting, his biggest knocks are injuries and upper body strength. The former you can’t control but 2nd is something the right motivation + pro regime will take care of. For big man he is quick, has surprising quick first step along with good hands, violent hands.
