Wow, Schilling being gone will really cut down on some of the lengthy FN threads......

Schilling's career is over.

"and i want to thank the red sox for the free 14 million, it really got me though the hard times"

yea he'll never top the heroic WS apperances in 04 and 07. he should retire and become mayor of boston

Thanks for the memories, Curt. You were great in 2004 and 2008. Now please go away.

when mills goes to the mariners to be there coach, farrell will move up to bench coach and schill will step in as pitch coach

Wow this has created alot of buzz. But they throw a Jeter "overrated" headline at us and the whole Nation chimes in.

Peace out Curt! Dam* Diamondbacks broke my heart and proved my Yankees werent invicible. From there its been down hill :(

Er...2007. You know what I meant.

Maybe now he'll have time to hang out with Kobe during the off-season

Er...2007. You know what I meant.

hah i wasnt gonna say anything

Curt, though we might not have agreed to your opinions and the frequency with which you voiced them, we Red Sox fans appreciate the dedication, the professionalism and the moxie that you brought to our team. You helped change the culture of the club house and you were our ace when it mattered most! Thanks for helping to bring two titles to Boston!!!!

(as if you'll ever see this....)

this has to now bring up the question: WILL CURT MAKE IT TO THE HOF???

Schilling and the bloody sock should receive a thank you note from Bill Buckner.

Bloody sock! Ha! Still buying that huh?

I think Curt is right on the line of HoF. But I think his post-season numbers get him in.

Much as I despise him, I think he eeks in. Not on the first ballot, I don't think.

yea i dunno about first ballot but i def. think he makes it in there

Here's what Baseball Reference has to say about it.

Black Ink: Pitching - 42 (33) (Average HOFer ??? 40)
Gray Ink: Pitching - 205 (34) (Average HOFer ??? 185)
HOF Standards: Pitching - 46.0 (48) (Average HOFer ??? 50)
HOF Monitor: Pitching - 171.0 (33) (Likely HOFer > 100)
Overall Rank in parentheses.

I say he's in easily.

I have no idea what those numbers mean, CardsFan. hahaha

Schilling = HOF


Curt, sad to see him go. Its refreshing to watch someone play who knows the game, doesnt juice, and is honest about his opinion. Consequences be damned, he would tell it like he saw it.

And if Boston signed him to 14 million and he doesnt play, its not Schillings fault their morons up there and will pay 5 million to an 8yr old if it looks like the yankees might sign him...

I mean...if they cut him, they dont owe him anything....so how is him doing this wrong? Its not. Grats on a great career Schill.
