What's all the hubbub, bub?

Since when did people start taking what Curt Schilling says seriously? He may go down as one of the greatest pitchers in Red Sox history but ask any ( or almost any- don't ask my Mom) Sox fan and they will add one ginormous foot note to that claim; "Curt Schilling will go down in history as one of the greatest pitchers in Red Sox history, howeva, that man is a self aggrandizing blow hard." Do I care? As long as he keeps throwing K's he can call himself the second coming of Christ as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure if we wait long enough he'll make that claim too.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but don't we all have the freedom of free speech? Why was it callous for Curt to say those things about Bonds? Curt posted on his website, http://www.38pitches.com/, "Regardless of my opinions, thoughts and beliefs on anything Barry Bonds it was absolutely irresponsible and wrong to say what I did. I don’t think it’s within anyone’s right to say the things I said yesterday and affect other people’s lives in that way." "Regardless of his opinions?" Isn't that the reason for him setting up a blog in the first place? To voice his opinion on everything under the sun? I hope it wasn't for what the Curly Headed Boyfriend said it was for: "To illicit continuous stroking of his ego from his adoring fans-" or something to that effect- Dan Shaughnessy seems like the kind of guy that would use the term "stroking the ego" while smirking his smirk he smirks so well.

This tempest in a specimen cup went so far as to involve Uncle Tito, who basically told Curt to "Zip it". It boggles the mind to think that all this hubbub is being created over one baseball player claiming Barry Bonds does/did steroids. DUH! If MLB would stop seeing dollar signs from all the home runs the guy is hitting than they might have some time to tighten up the steroid testing. Why aren't people getting as outraged at the fact that players ARE using steroids as they are at the fact that some players are accusing others of using them.

To add to the ridiculousness of it all Jose Canseco chimes in. No way Jose- no you didn't just say that. YOU are calling CURT a liar and hypocrite. Geesh, you write one tell all book and you think you have cleaned your slate. Dream on, Jose.

Can't we do with Curt what we do with all troubling behavior on the Red Sox? Make a tee-shirt, start a tag line, or just stick them in the corner and watch them self destruct.
