"I actually broke out a pen and paper the last couple days," Schilling said Tuesday in his weekly radio appearance while driving to Fenway Park for the Red Sox victory parade. "There's a very realistic chance I won't ever play with them again."
Regardless of where he ends up (even if it's the Yankees), Schilling deserves a statue erected outside of Fenway Park for the contribution he's made to two Boston championships. The Curse couldn't have been broken without him.
Having said that, I'm reminded of a rumor a while back on PTI saying that Schilling wanted to ride off into the sunset with Tampa Bay. Where do you think he ends up?
He also won't go to the Yankees (or the Rays) since neither are on Schilling's list of 12 teams he'll consider playing for. He also says the Red Sox are still his first choice.
And the winner of the Curt Schilling sweepstakes is...er...the Boston Red Sox!
Curt Schilling and the Boston Red Sox finalized a one-year contract Tuesday worth about $8 million in base salary and millions more in potential incentives.
Huzzah for Beantown!

To be fair, the Cubs were in the National League Championship series in '89 also. They played the Giants, and lost 3 to 1, I believe. I concur, this is the most excited I've been about baseball since, uh, '98 probably. CUBBIES!!!!!!!!
