Non-Giants News: Schilling has injured right shoulder

by nostocksjustbonds on Feb 7, 2008 7:25 PM PST

BOSTON (AP) -- Curt Schilling has an injured right shoulder, and the ballplayer and the Boston Red Sox have been squabbling over whether he should have surgery that could cost him the season or try something less drastic.

"Curt Schilling was examined by Red Sox doctors in January after he reported feeling right shoulder discomfort," the Red Sox said in a statement Thursday night. "Curt has started a program of rest, rehabilitation and shoulder strengthening in an attempt to return to pitching."

Red Sox officials declined to elaborate on the two-sentence statement, which was released at 8:11 p.m. Schilling's blog was last updated Wednesday, and he did not return calls or e-mails seeking comment; his spokeswoman, Katie Leighton, said he would have none.

The Boston Herald reported on its Web site that Schilling may have injured his rotator cuff or labrum, a problem serious enough to consider surgery that could keep him out for the whole 2008 season. The Boston Globe reported later Thursday that even without surgery Schilling would be out until at least the All-Star break.

I'm sure he'd like some HGH now...

Re: Non-Giants News: Schilling has injured right s

As much as I hate him for being a Bush loving conservative asshole I do love him for his screw you attitude towards the media. The sports media in general is horrible in general. They hype stories like Barbaro and instead crucify Bonds for giving them the finger. Most of that crucification was aimed at his steroid use but most of the venom was based on his blatant hate of the crap sports media.

"I'd take pleasure in gutting you boy" Oh and ignore the spelling. I do.....

Is the politics necessary?

I've never really seen his "screw you" mentality towards the media so much as he has to give his opinion on EVERYTHING. Barry had more of the "screw you" attitude. Schilling, if he has it, doesn't show it much. He actually seems to appreciate that the media gives him his soapbox on which to spew the crap that comes out of his mouth.

Re: Is the politics necessary?

Yeah, when you're a flagrant publicity whore, it's hard to make a valid claim for a "screw you" attitude to the media. As much as I dislike sports journalism, Schilling's relationship to them strikes me as more like a Brittany Spears relationship to paparazzi -- call them up, make sure they know where you're going, then cry about them being there. Repeat ad nauseum.
