Since he put ketchup on his sock during the World Series, does anything he has to say carry any weight at all?

Hey, he still is a great pitcher.

Why can't he call out other players? Every moronic fan, myself included, has an opinion. Why not somebody who has an inside view of what is going on. Guys like Clemmens and Petite make him look bad by association.
He sacrificed the rest of his career by pitching in those two games. He could have sat. He could have called it quits for the season. He went in there and made history. He spent the next year struggling to get back to form by rehabbing the right way. He could have used performance enhancers and been ready sooner. Instead, he did the honorable thing and earned his way back.
That performance was the real deal and it will be as legendary as Willis Reed coming off the bench for the Knicks, Doug Williams in the Super Bowl after hyperextending his knee and Steve Yzerman in the playoffs skating on a broken leg.
If anyone should shut up, its the fans. If you don't like Schilling, you are most likely a Yankee fan. May I ask if anything you say carries any weight? It doesn't carry any more weight than anything I say. We're all on this site for fun, to discuss baseball. If you are mad because he calls out a player you admire for cheating, maybe you should re-think who you decide to admire.
How can you not like a guy who has a proven positive effect on his team and his community? He spends a lot of time working in the community raising money for ALS research. Did you know that when he came to the majors, he left a reserved ticket at will call for his father whenever he pitched. His dad died before he could ever see him in a big league uniform.
For somebody who has so many people hating him, Curt Schilling is a pretty admirable guy.

I think hes right to question a move, but he should do behind closed doors. Airing dirty laundry never helps your team. As far as having an opinion on everything, I guess you could say he has replaced Schilling on the Sox. However, he is a bigger distraction than Schilling ever was. Stuff like this will hurt the Sox eventually. He does have a big mouth, and thats his right, but like I said before, it is better to avoid talking about the inner workings of your team to the media. Comments like these have the potential to damage the team as a whole and there is no doubt Papelbon needs to be put on a tighter leash by the Red Sox.

You are wrong about Schilling being able to voice his mind and wrong about his blood on the socks in game 6 of the ALCS and game 2 of the World Series in 2004.
But if you think you're right about the socks, pay to have the sock analyzed, it's at Cooperstown, and if you can prove that the stain is not Curt Schilling's blood, there is a substantial reward in it for you. The guy is a courageous ballplayer and totally clutch in key post season games.

By the looks of Curt Schilling, I think he's hauling adequate weight.....
By putting that Halloween fake blood or ketchup on his sock, that shows what a clown he is by trying to garner sympathy for a fake injury. Because of that, they should strip him of his world series rings!
I would not listen to Curt's propaganda any time, nor would I understand whatever comes out of his mouth to be believeable. He just has a lot of time on his hands to be able to slam fellow ballplayers.

Schilling is a self serving blowhard, who speaks his mind but has little ammunition. The true testament to a player is how your team mates feels about you everywhere Schilling has played he has been hated by his team mates. He needs to shut his mouth and just play baseball.

If you REALLY think it wasn't blood, the least of your worries is Curt Schilling.

Oh, for the days of baseball when a colorful player was appreciated. These days, they have to be bland and white bread, which, I suppose, goes along well with their multi-million dollar status. So he's a degenerate. Yogi Berra would simply not make it in today's market. The fans have just one thing to do: to like or dislike their teams and players, and we can't even get that right. No wonder the rest of MLB spits on us.
