Curt Schilling is an angry, angry bloke. Maybe it’s because his career is over. Or because he’s probably not going to the Hall of Fame. Either way, his vendetta against Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy is more fun than watching Schilling pitch. We haven’t seen an athlete this riled up about a sportswriter since Ryan Leaf lost it in the locker room a few years, or when Brett Myers start cursing at a journalist a couple years back, calling the reporter a “retard.”

This is the same guy who, late in the Rocket’s tenure in Boston when Clemens LEFT THE PARK before the ending of a game he started and his team lost, wrote what a warrior Roger was, how he couldn’t stand the losing, to the point he couldn’t remain at the ballpark. Yet in 2004, Pedro left the park and CHB couldn’t contain himself:

“Martinez didn’t stick around to talk about things after the game. In fact, team guy that he is, Pedro left the ballpark before the game was over. He must not have been feeling properly respected, or something like that.€

Schilling confronted Shaughnessy about the above quotes, and the columnist’s response allegedly was: “Why are you yelling at me? I write and have written nice things about you.” Interesting! That confirms it – Boston is a racist town and its most famous sportswriter (now, at least), is racist! We did find this line quite funny:

So few of them are the experts they would have you believe they are. Hell, I promise you there are way more fans in Boston that know more about the Red Sox than people like CHB.

Spoken like a man angling for an analyst job.
