Schilling: A Wicked Long-Winded Blogger
The Boston Red Sox may want to make sure Curt Schilling has a good keyboard wrist rest. Because at the rate he's been blogging lately, the guy might come down with carpal-tunnel syndrome before the season starts.
Schilling, one of the key players on Boston's world championship teams in 2004 and 2007, has been using his 38 Pitches blog as his personal soapbox for a while now. But the presidential race and former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell's recent report on steroids in baseball has forced him to crank his blogging up a notch.
His sprawling post on Wednesday about steroids clocked in at 3,676 words. He penned another entry earlier this month endorsing Sen. John McCain's presidential bid that went over the 1,000 word limit -- roughly twice the length of the story I'll have in this afternoon's edition of Technology Daily.
As I've mentioned on this blog before, I really don't like the Sox. So I can't say I'll be torn up if Schilling needs to sit out a start or two next season because he blogged too hard for his own good. But I'll advise him nonetheless that it's a dangerous world out there. After all, Detroit Tigers fireballer Joel Zumaya once got so into the "Guitar Hero" videogame that he rocked himself out of the American League Championship Series with a forearm injury.
Blog safely, Curt. And if you plan on writing more about the presidential race, it's Mike Huckabee not Huckaby. -- Michael Martinez
