WHarris1 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 (edited) Even if it was real it was the biggest whore move of all time. He couldn't possibly played it up any more. And if it's fake...OMFG Edited April 26, 2007 by WHarris1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Fake or not, Schilling is an attention whore who deserves any ribbing he gets. I hope he and the Red Cubs suck for all eternity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I really don't care, and if baseball really wanted to settle this, have the sock tested to see if it was really blood. But yes, I would not be surprised if the sock was indeed fake, as Schilling is an attention whore like previous have stated. Even his own family doesn't like him.

Gregory Pratt Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 God, this is pathetic. "If it's real and the negative attention is for no good reason, that's okay because he's an asshole." Please. And, look -- Schilling's pitching against the Yankees in the playoffs in tough elimination games. You think he had the time or thought before the games to something as bulls*** as "my socks"?

GoodAsGould Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Well who knows now, Schilling likes to over-exagerate things but also puts fake blood/paint on your sock lol. bottom line, Schilling is a d-bag and i dont care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a completely stitched up foot, its not like he lied about having surgery. Foot surgery where there are that many stitches in it will swell and he probably couldnt walk the day of the game.

He had surgery on his ankle the morning of the game. As exaggerated as his story was, I would bet that he couldn't walk in the morning and this is coming from a guy that hates him just as much as you do. Final Note: The only thing I can see him doing is wearing white sox (I'm clever) to show off his bloodied ankle, because looking at the picture of A-Rod slapping the ball out of Arroyo's hand, the first basemen has red socks. I don't know how he normally comes out, so I'm probably dead wrong. Either way, stop being ridiculous, its blood, end of story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this has much to do with him being a member of the Red Sox. I'm fairly certain most of the disdain for Schilling goes back much further. The guy has always conducted himself as if he was the commissioner of baseball. And his love for himself and the words that come out of his mouth has always been irritating. I really could care less if the bloody sock was real or fake. The guy has been a hell of a pitcher throughout his career, and that performance was impressive. Still, he's not a very likable guy. The only reason anybody thinks it could have been fake is that he comes off as a guy who would do such a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree, GP. A new rule: If you must be a homer about an opposing team, make it the Cubs. Schilling is one of the best pitchers in the game and he's a great person. Oh, he's an attention whore, but I love him. He does great charity work and has the nerve to stand up for a pitcher's rights -- by smashing QuestTec satellites. He's good to his friends, he answers a lot of questions on his blog, he's accessible -- I don't see how people can dislike him just because he's outspoken.

WHarris1 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I'm not doubting he had trouble walking, but I just found it funny how he hyped this story trying to make everyone think he was a God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its actually pretty impressive to come out of an invasive surgery like that and pitch so well. Also i enjoy his outspoken views on steroids in baseball and his insane amount of charity work out of baseball. If the guy wasnt on the Red Sox, many of you would have a different opinion, and thats ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reasons why? I strongly dislike how much of an attention whore he is as I've already stated, but his accessibility with his blog and the work he does for charity is unlike any other player in not only baseball, but all of sports. Oh, and he's one of the best pitchers to live during our life time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Nothing agianst Schilling - he did pitch just after surgery, I don't doubt, and I have all the respect in the world for him. However, but I have a question. If it were really blood coming from his surgery, why would it have stopped bleeding? Or why would there just be a set amount of blood on it? Wouldn't they have wrapped it in enough gauze that blood wouldn't seep out? If it not, wouldn't it have been literally blood red throughout? And Greg, normally, no, I don't think a person would think about doing that. But from a person with a selfish, greater than god attitude like Curt Schilling? You bet your ass I do.

Especially since he has only been on that team for like 3 seasons or so after spending most his career elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's merely a question, and that type of surgery looks like it would have been wrapped up in enough gauze to not bleed through the sock. I mean, I assume that is what it looked like right afterwards; I'm sure he didn't just throw a sock on and say let's go pitch. I'm not questioning the talent and will of the player, just the character and the circumstances of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it bled through my shoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
