Phuck! Did you heart Schilling on GMA? He ended the interview by

[joeybee12]

saying "Tell everyone to go out and vote. And tell everyone to vote Bush!"

I assume he meant Busch beer.

His wife gasped, so either she doesn't agree with him, or, like Charlie Gibson, thought it was inappropriate.

1. Yeah, the interview was great

until that happened. Good pitcher but disillusioned!

[Sputnik]

2. I love Curt, but

he's always had a runaway mouth. I'll always remember his part of bringing the Diamondbacks a World Series ring, but it was no secret that his teammates in AZ were worn out with him and his mouth.

I admire his pitching, but not his politics.

4. Note that he was both on Today and GMA! Didn't catch CBS--he sure

was making the rounds!

That said, I doubt I'd agree with many sport figures when it comes to politics--they're heavily Republican.

[joeybee12]

5. Yeah, the problem is most sports figures are Repukes--they ain't had much

book learnin' so they waft towards the Dark Side!

[babylonsister]

9. Or trying to preserve all that

money they make/don't lose because of Shrubbie.

[joeybee12]

12. Well, he is from Alaska--that probably explains it!

[bushwakker]

3. Big mouth, injury faking, piece of shit.

6. Sports Guys

Most pro athletes live in a very sheltered world and are usually dumber than mud.

[WilliamPitt]

7. Don't. Care.

[Beer Snob-50]

10. AMEN!!

[indigobusiness]

11. I'm surprised he didn't say "The Lord wants you to vote for Bush"

The guy is phony, two-faced creep. With the integrity and ethics of a rovian neocon. His teammates past loathe him.

[skippysmom]

13. Sox fans, I congratulate you

But Schilling is a major league asshole.

[CO Liberal]

14. Is He On Painkillers for His Ankle Injury????

That might explain his obvious lack of judgement....

[Johnny 99]

15. Given all the shit

certain members of this website gave Cards fans for sharing the same state that Rush Limbaugh was born in, sorry, Chowderheads, but you're going to be taking some shit for this.

16. In a few days we can say,

"Win some, lose some."

[MallRat]

17. You gotta take the good with the bad, unfortunately.

Curt Schilling is one of the most money pitchers I have ever seen in a Red Sox uniform. What he did in Game 6 of the ALCS and Game 2 of the World Series will become the yardstick for all gutsy athletic performances for decades to come. More than anyone else (Foulke, Cabrera, Mientkiewicz), it was Schilling's addition to the roster that pushed the Sox over the top this year.

And yes, he's a Republican. A vocal one, at that.

Oh, well. Nobody's perfect.

18. I've long since given up any hope that any sports figure is a Dem!

They are overwhelmingly Republican, but I just wish he had the good sense not to inject politics into what is a sports story and a celebration.

[Phillycat]

19. I don't care.

He did such an amazing job in the post- and the Series, he could say he supports Pat Buchanan and I'd still love him. :)

[Bluebear]

20. I care.

Did Schitforbrains even consider that more than half the Red Sox fan base is probably Democrat? Did he consider that maybe sports is a refuge from politics for people? No, his personal agenda was more important. His pitching performance was amazing, his charity work for ALS is amazing...his stock as a legend just went down in my book.

[Phillycat]

22. Meh. Politics Shmolitics.

Baseball is life! :)

[DS1]

21. If someone decides to switch from Kerry to Bush because of what

Shilling has to say, he or she will likely find a reason to switch back in the next week.
