Schilling To Spend The Season Eating

Curt Schilling could be spending much of next season on the bench with shoulder problems according to a report out today.

The Boston Globe and Boston Herald are reporting that Schilling has a shoulder injury that has the right-hander and the club in a dispute over whether he needs surgery and the Red Sox have at least investigated to see if they can void his 2008 contract.

That is bad news for Schilling, even if they cannot void his contract, because his contract has bonuses for keeping his weight down. There is no way the "baconator" keeps the pounds off if he is on the shelf for much of next season.

The one good positive from a possible disabled list destination for Schilling is that we would not hear from him for a while because his mouth will be too full of bacon-wrapped goodies.

That being said, I forgot he has a blog in which he can type and eat at the same time. Dude better get a keyboard endorsement deal if that becomes the case... the grease is going to kill those keyboards.

Bacon.
