Why does Curt Schilling enjoy calling out other players?

Question

Schilling calls out Bonds to return the MVPs and all that. Now he's calling out Clemens to return Cy Youngs. Why doesn't Schilling mind his own business and just pitch?

Answer 1

Many of us have been asking this question for quite some time now. Why this guy thinks he's God himself is beyond me. I've said it before but I firmly believe he is mentally ill. He shows plenty of classic narcissist characteristics. Last time I checked, nobody crowned him as the authority on everything baseball or everything steroids. His opinion means no more to me than that of the 25th man on the Kansas City Royals roster. It's better to keep quiet and have one think you are an idiot rather than open your mouth and prove it - someone ought to fill Curt in on that. He is a blowhard, an egomaniac and to say he's an attention whore doesn't even begin to describe it. Furthermore, anyone who has logged on and read his blog more than once is an absolute loser and needs to get a life. Even most politicians aren't as self important as Curt Schilling. The best thing that could ever happen to him would be for someone to sever his vocal chord and render him a mute.

Answer 2

Jealousy - Bonds was MVP seven times, Schilling none. Clemens has seven Cy Young awards, Schilling none.

Answer 3

Because like his good buddy, Curt seems to think he is the Decider. Never mind that the only "proof" against Clemens is the word of a criminal who was facing charges.

I am not saying Clemens never took steroids, but the burden of proof is on his accusers. Innocent until "proven" guilty is the law. It is not up to Clemens and others to prove innocence, it is up to those like Schilling to prove their guilt.

Of course that would require more then just shooting your mouth off all the time, so I will not be waiting on him.

Will Curt provide proof of innocence if accused? What is this, The Salem Witch Trials?

Answer 4

Curt Schilling just wants attention. I still say he is juiced I don't care what anyone thinks. It's my opinion. Schilling never won a Cy Young Award so maybe he is a little jealous

Answer 5

trer -- what the heck do you want? Should ballplayers all talk that PC 'boy they are a tough team we have to do what we do best it's hard to beat them' meaningless hogwash? Why so white bread. Schilling has color. He has personality. Like Casey Stengel had. Like Danny Ozark, Bill Lee, Yogi, and a host of other baseball personalities. What, you want robots? Playstation would work for you. Let these guys play around a little. It's monster more fun than Orel Hershiser selling insurance.

Answer 6

Schill's a blowhard and he is an attention slut, but why not call out these guys? They are egomaniacs and neither Bonds or Clemens is likable enough to defend

Answer 7

Schilling is a loudmouth, but he is a loudmouth that baseball needs. The Players Union won't say anything derogatory about any of its members, and the other 749 major league players are being curiously mum. Schilling is a big enough star that he can talk without fear of retribution.

Answer 8

It gets him noticed. When is he going to call out his ex team mate ot the Diamondbacks. The one he played with and won the World Series. This team mate who was caught using steroids/HGH. Is Schilling going to give his ring back

Answer 9

Because Schilling is the Myspace Emo of baseball.

He's an attention whore.

Answer 10

because hes never won anything to the level of clemens or bonds. he doesnt have the accolades these two have and maybe hes just mad about it and wants to move up in the rankings or be remembered as the guy who called others out or the guy who was "clean". they should test his bloody sock for stuff.
