OK, forgetting the whole hot and gooey centre of the earth thing, you would be digging (relatively) down to the centre of the earth. From there, you would be digging 'up' to the other side of the earth.
The interesting part of this is that as you are digging 'up, you are leaving a hole 'under' you and won't have anything holding you there to keep digging 'up' and so you'll end up stuck at the centre of the earth.

Here is a question to answer your question how would you get through the Earth if you were digging? Given that maybe by some sort of magma shield and defenses against the pressure you still couldn't do it. You would be digging against gravity the whole half way home. After the center of the earth you would be digging up. Leaving you stranded at the center of the earth unless you had rockets or some sort of propulsion.

The bread crumbs for this question are Home > Science & Mathematics > Physics, huh? Phew! Let me just say that I would lava for you to try to dig your way through the earth. In fact, I have a burning desire for you to try it. What is more, I'd dig you forever, Skippy!

gravity points to the center of the earth. if you were at the center, you would experience no gravity. but the pressure and temperature at the center of the earth is very high, so this is not exactly practical.
