It became clear yesterday that Curt Schilling isn't very happy about the Sox' non-surgical mandate regarding his ongoing attempt to recover from arm/shoulder problems. While spring training should be about hope and expectation, this has Curt contemplating the end of the line.

I know some folks consider Schilling a blowhard and don't like him or his politics. If you ask me, he's come up aces for the Sox whenever we've needed him in a big situation.

As someone with the good fortune to be at Fenway for his 20th win in 2004 (followed by the filming of the Drew-runs-across-the-field scene for Fever Pitch), and his 200th career victory (2006, as I recall), I wish the big guy only the best.
