Schilling considers half-season comeback
Curt Schilling is considering coming back next year -- for half the season. The Boston Red Sox right-hander, who underwent season-ending shoulder surgery on June 23, said in an interview with Sporting News that he might try to pitch in 2009 under the right circumstances. "I won't come back for a full season, that much I know. If I do decide to come back I would work to the point I was ready and somewhere around May 1 let the teams know I wanted to pitch the second half," he said. "I'd obviously need to spend June in the minor leagues building it all back up and then hopefully come back and help a team in contention win a World Series. All of this is predicated with the fact that I am completely healthy and able to pitch like I did prior to breaking my shoulder early in 2007."

I wonder if their are any Schilling quotes about Roger Clemens doing this? I mean, he runs his mouth offering his unsolicited opinion about everything else. I'm sure he had something to say about Roger joining the Yanks so late in the season.

looks like they are doing fine without him. Does he really think anyone wants him at this point?

So Schilling wants to pitch half seasons like Clemens did? Hell no. Show up for spring training like everybody else or go home and watch the real players on tv.

If he comes back for half a season does that mean he will only open up his pie hole half the time? Even that is too much to endure. You are away Shill. Stay away.

I hate this guy, when did he become a spokesperson for speaking his mind about everything , or what he thinks should be done for the game, and his opinion, someone needs to shove that dirty sock down his throat

He gets one game, a retirement party game in September, then leaves. I mean, he did bring the Sox two series, but a half season? Between Byrd and Wakefield, the Sox could have the slowest throwing back end rotation.

Look, Clemons was a beast..... a cheating steroid monster beast who liked to tap trailer trash, but still a beast.... Schilling.... you are no Roger Clemons.....

C'mon ... I am no Schilling apologist but he and Clemens are entirely different cases. Coming back midway so as to get over an injury which takes at least a year of recovery is a far cry from coming back midway because you want to cherry pick from the front runners with the deep pockets. You can't compare them.
That being said ... he should just retire.
