Schilling Fires a Rocket

We haven’t yet touched on that White Elephant known as the Mitchell Report, but the time is right now that Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling has made things interesting.

You know how Roger “The Rocket” Clemens said “nuh-uh” in response to steroid accusations? Well, our pal (and “ah, if only” dinner date) Curt Schilling blogged about it yesterday. Here’s some of what he had to say:

Roger has denied every allegation brought to the table. So as a fan my thought is that Roger will find a way in short order to organize a legal team to guarantee a retraction of the allegations made, a public apology is made, and his name is completely cleared. If he doesn’t do that then there aren’t many options as a fan for me other than to believe his career 192 wins and 3 Cy Youngs he won prior to 1997 were the end. From that point on the numbers were attained through using PED’s. Just like I stated about Jose [Canseco], if that is the case with Roger, the 4 Cy Youngs should go to the rightful winners and the numbers should go away if he cannot refute the accusations.

As an aside, we’ve always been able to identify most steroid users by their appearance. Their necks tend to look like pythons in the midst of digesting a hearty meal of antelope.

But to Schilling’s post we say, way to throw down the gauntlet. Let’s see if The Rocket will be man enough to pick it up.
