I'm only asking this because Schilling has been acting very weird as of late and for a guy with as much class as he has it doesn't make a lot of sense at all with some of the things he has done recently.
Was it a slap in the face to him that the Sox paid Dice-K that amount of money before he ever pitched in the majors yet Schilling is the #1 starter? I'm just asking.

Red Sawx and Craig S. You can break it down however you want. The point is the Sox paid 102 million overall to get Dice-K period. Schilling has been acting funny and it would appear something's bothering him.

yeah don't you remember he wanted a contract extension in spring training but didn't get it because he was to old.

I think it's possible that it's a money issue although we all know Schilling likes to be the center of attraction. He really did put his foot in his mouth yesterday. It's not to say that the majority of people would like to see Bonds fail. It's just that Schilling and Bonds have never gotten along so this new wrinkle has become part of the on going soap opera.
Schilling is passed his prime. He has also made millions of dollars playing a kids game for many years. He should have nothing to complain about. If Dice-K cut a deal for himself, good for him. Schilling doesn't have the right be upset about it.

No, Schilling is in the twilight of his career. At 26, Dice-K could be a ace for the Sox for 10 years.

First of all, the Sox did NOT pay Matsuzaka $101 million. They gave him a 6-year, $52 million contract, with the other $50 million going to his Japanese team for the rights to deal with Dice-K.
So, Dice makes an average of about $9m per season on his current contract. Schilling, on the other hand, makes $13m per season on his current contract, almost 50% more than what Matsuzaka will be paid on average over the length of his contract.
My guess, then, is that Schilling isn't feeling too resentful. He knows the Sox want to win, and he also knows that he's paid more than Matsuzaka.

Good point. Schilling has been acting weird and he knows better than to talk about a mans family regardless of what he thinks of Bonds. Bonds's family has nothing to do with it.
Schilling has been showing random acts of emotions that emulate a pregnant woman and mood swings.
There is something up there.

When has Curt Schilling ever had class? The guy is the biggest complainer/ whiner there is. Between he and Gary Sheffield there is no two guys that are more about them selves getting paid and less about the team. I know it upset him that they have a higher paid pitcher than him and if he doesn't get at least the same he will be going somewhere else.

Oh, so as this is the jerk that began the fires. they might desire to in basic terms do away with the high-quality, and make him spend greater years in detention center...yet like an exceedingly crappy detention center. He merits to be homeless and not have a roof over his head.
