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.

Ugh. Boston.

The only Boston-based major sports team that is not having outstanding success right now is the Boston Bruins, and Ryan Parker has a song in honor of them.

The Red Sox, Celtics, Patriots and even MLS team, Revolution, are at the top of their leagues right now. What the hell. And the fans are like Kyle's dad from South Park when he gets a hybrid car.

Here is a trailer of "Smug Alert":


I actually overheard a dude wearing a Patriots hat sitting several barstools over from me say that he was not a Red Sox fan. What the hell! If you like one, you like all. There is no mixing when it comes to Boston teams. He kept on looking over at me since I was wearing a Colts jersey, probably trying to get me to argue with him about the Pats. Instead I focused on my Marlboro Lights, Newcastle beers, and the lady that was sitting with a group of not-me's in a booth.

Boston fans: you cannot avoid the smug if you only like one Boston team.

Lets just get this year over with so we can move on.
