There’s a reason why I read other sports blogs because you usually can pick up something from a blog that you, the reader, may not read. As I first saw on The Red Sox Times, Curt Schilling announced on the morning show of Dennis & Callahan on WEEI in Boston that in fact he will not be retiring at the end of the 2007 season. He has already been in discussions with the Red Sox front office and said during the interview that he will be sitting down with the Sox front office to discuss an extension. He also stated that he wants to stay and pitch in Boston during the 2008 season.
I guess this means he won’t be running against Senator Kerry in 2008 for the Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat that Kerry currently holds.He also stated that if the Red Sox weren’t to sign him for 2008, he would be open to pitching anywhere except for the Yankees. Note to Theo: Sign Curt for 2008. His presence will not only help you guys as a team but it will beneficial to have him around the young pitchers in the organization.
Schilling also stated in the interview that his Japanese lessons are going very well. He declined to say anything that he had learned to Dennis & Callahan because he wanted to first “embarrass” himself speaking Japanese to Daisuke Matsuzaka.
