Schilling: 'I will pitch again, and win'
Make that seven members of the media who were invited to know what's on Curt Schilling's mind. Schilling himself posted his thoughts on pitching again on his website 38Pitches.com this afternoon.
"The situation warranted addressing the media at some point, yesterday was that day. Given what’s happened over the past three months the discussion was not going to go anyone’s way in the end," Schilling wrote. "Suffice to say it’s over, and I am rehabbing and doing everything possible to get healthy and pitch again. Were there disagreements? Sure. Does that matter now? Absolutely not. The course of action has been laid out and I am dead set on making this work."
Count on Curt to get back on the mound at some point. That was the prediction from Schilling: "I will pitch again, and win, but it will be on a timetable I just don’t know yet," Schilling wrote.
Schilling is also aware of the financial predicament the Red Sox find themselves in with No. 38 on the shelf.
"At the moment they are out 8 million dollars for a guy that cannot pitch, that can’t be a good thing," Schilling wrote. "I’d bet that I’ll figure out some way to validate this entire thing when it’s all said and done. If you don’t like that, or believe that, then feel free to bet against me, it won’t be the first time."

He was key in bringing two championships to Boston and, to my knowledge, has always been a stand-up guy. He gets a total pass from me, and the absolute benefit of any doubt. The bloody sock? Priceless!
Did we pay $10 Million per for two years of no Matt Clement? Something like that. This isn't a tragedy, but it's the only drama we've got.
I couldn't agree more, John. Well said.
Does anyone know who the six reporters Schilling picked to talk to are?
.I am shocked Shaughnessy was not on the list....
Schilling is 6-1 with a 3.28 ERA in the playoffs as a member of the Red Sox..He helped bring TWO Championships to Bean Town in a 4 year span. He is a WINNER! He means what he says and says what he means...Thank you for everything you have done for all of us Curt. I cant wait to watch you pitch again soon!
You have a lot of support behind you Curt. Hang in there.
Well said John, no one in the world has the right to bad mouth Curt here. Sure there is somethings that maybe could have been handled better but as John said, "the bloody sock", I will always remember what he went through to bring the 86 years to an end. He'll be back
schilling will live in red sox lore forever, as far as im concerned he has already contributed more than enough to this organization and anything else he does for us is simply icing on the cake, goodluck with the rehab big schill and im sure we will see you soon
re-friggin'-tire!!!!
Agree with John and Zack. Schilling changed everything in Boston - took the team from perennial losers to an elite team in baseball. Two championships in four years -he gets a pass.
Ten comments, 9 passes, Schill I hope you read this; You’re a Baseball Hero. You've redeemed our Pride and Hope in a time of much sorrow. Thank You. Get Well. I will be happy to know my contributions will keep you on the team. Worth every Schilling.
Kert, We are rooten for you. Your cousin
