Curt Schilling Is Out for the Season and Now Free to Blog About Everything

Sure feels like we've been talking about Curt Schilling a lot this year. You know, for a guy that hasn't pitched a single freaking inning yet. That's probably because his blog, ~~FakeBloodySock.com~~ 38Pitches, has been getting to much pub for being a whiny, hit n' run joint.

But Schilling might not throw a single regulation pitch this season -- and maybe ever again -- because his next scheduled surgery (June 23) could effectively end his career.

On WEEI radio's "Dennis & Callahan Show," Schilling said, "We're still nailing down exactly what kind of surgery it's going to be. When asked if he thought it would end his season, Schilling said yes.

"My season is over and there is a pretty decent chance I have thrown my last pitch forever," he said.

It would seem odd not to have Schill prominently featured as one of baseball's faces. Some people see him as a gasbag type that will spout off on any topic, and others (raises hand) can at least smell our own, so we throw him a little First Amendment love.

And since it's unlikely we'll see a Schilling-Simers Steel Cage Death Match (which I would totally pay pay-per-view bucks for) as the undercard on Jose Canseco's celebrity boxing tour, you best believe Schill is about to get loose on some 38 Pitches action.

The guy doesn't currently blog everyday, but he's employed and busy and stuff. If he gets to sit down in front of a computer and actually put the 'bage that floats into his mind in worded fashion -- look out precious 'sphere.

Oh, and if he's faking this whole "done for the year" thing and ends up coming back before the ASB because of yet another miraculous surgery, I'm going to be furious. Besides, then he's just a one-trick pony.
