Curt Schilling is blogging : Sports blogs take on new meaning

Curt Shilling BlogPicked up from Rick Klau that Boston Red Sox pitcher Kurt Schilling is blogging.

Like the heart Curt wears on his sleeve while pitching, he’s doing the same with his blogging. A good blog takes passion. And a guy that gave us the bloody sock pitching game 2 of the 2005 World Series delivers the same passion with his blog.

  • On baseball’s recent deal with DirecTV – “…fans are given the shaft.”
  • On coach John Vukovich, who died at a young age this week, – “…I often tried to but there was no way I could ever repay him for his commitment to me and the devotion and love he showed me throughout our 15+ years together. John Vukovich was the very person my dad was referring to when he called someone, ‘good people.’ It was the highest compliment my dad could give.”
  • On how spring training is going – “…The change up got results but I felt like crap throwing it. I threw 14 of them today, out of 60 pitches. Right now My split is in between horrific and terrible, so that’s something else to work on.”

Monica, I’m not a Red Sox or Yankees fan, but there isn’t a pitcher on your Yankees who has the passion to do a real blog.

Lesson for lawyers here is that a blog comes from you, from your heart, not from someone who may write your blog content. Curt’s blog is certainly not being written by his publicist or PR person.

    Kevin – I am from Boston and of course grew up cheer for the Red Sox (smile). However, the last line of your post is on target for any business blogger – “a blog comes from you, from your heart, not from someone who may write your blog content.”

    Sometimes Curt is too blunt and annoying but at least he is honest.
    I wish Manny would create a blog. of course that would be after he was finished “hocking” grills on eBay.
    Smile On People!

    Its a great day for Boston fans that you will stay with the Red Sox. We can’t get enough of people such as you and Papa who are great not just for your athletic abilities but for caring about the local community and for all you do for others. Thanks!

    I must admit that the Yankees have had an awful year or two but that is the only reason that Boston is where they are today and they have never beat us at our best and they never will. They will continue to be the same scrubs have always been and Curt the “HAS BEEN”(whom i used to respect)”should think about putting a sock in it literally, you fake piece of shit. N.Y. will never have respect for your fake ass Team!!!!!
