It's been awhile since the Boston media has hyperventilated over a Curt Schilling-related drama. So let's dive right in, shall we?
Dr. Craig Morgan
told ESPN Radio in Philadelphia Monday that, in his opinion, Schilling will not be back to pitch in Boston this season.
"Not only that, it's my opinion he's angry enough that it's entirely conceivable even though he's 40 years old, it's entirely conceivable that he will have the operation, rehab, and pitch for the Yankees next year," Morgan said.
and then
"[Schilling] called me when he was angry about a month ago and was having recurrent pain, and said 'Listen, I want to pitch again next year,' and [would consider] the possibility of the [Yankees] option," Dr. Craig Morgan told Boston sports radio station WEEI 850 AM this morning. "He didn't say he was going to do it, he didn't do any of that. I think it was in part of anger."
O NO! WHAT WILL WE DO WHEN SCHIL GOES TO NY? HOW COULD HE DO THIS? LOUD NOISES!!!Schilling laughed off that assertion in a
follow-up interview later in the morning on WEEI.
"Me wearing pinstripes, regardless of what point of the season or my career it would have been, is not an option," said Schilling, who is currently on the 60-day disabled list with a biceps/right shoulder injury. "I can't ... think back to having that conversation specifically � it's not an option. Never has been an option."
"The first word that popped into my head, is a word that I think is new to the English language, but everybody understands what it means is 'misrember'. I talked to doc probably within the last week. He's called me a couple of times during my rehab, but I'm not really sure how he got to some of the conclusions he got to."
So that's all perfectly cleared up, then.
I think it's all just a clever scheme of Schilling to divert attention away from Jed Lowrie's major league debut tonight. Jed and Curt feud!
