    I believe his comment was "I don't know what cheating is"

    I have no problem with Curt ripping this piece of shit to threads, where I have a problem with Curt is this

    "Everyone has days and events in life they’d love to push the rewind button on, yesterday was one of those days. Regardless of my opinions, thoughts and beliefs on anything Barry Bonds it was absolutely irresponsible and wrong to say what I did. I don’t think it’s within anyone’s right to say the things I said yesterday and affect other peoples lives in that way." Taken from 38pitches.com

    Curt you said what everybody else knows, don't be a p***y, be a man and stick to your guns.

    Public Apology
    May 9th, 2007 by Curt Schilling

    Everyone has days and events in life they’d love to push the rewind button on, yesterday was one of those days. Regardless of my opinions, thoughts and beliefs on anything Barry Bonds it was absolutely irresponsible and wrong to say what I did. I don’t think it’s within anyone’s right to say the things I said yesterday and affect other peoples lives in that way.

    I’d love to tell you I was ambushed, misquoted, misinterpreted, something other than what it was, but I wasn’t. I’m thinking that waking up at 8:30 am to do the weekly interview we do with WEEI is probably not the greatest format and if you heard the interview it’s not hard to realize that I’m usually awake about 30-45 seconds before it begins. That’s still no excuse or reason to say what I did, or even answer the question that was asked. The question I was asked and the answer I gave yesterday affected a lot more people than just he and I. His wife, his children, his friends and his family were all affected by that, as were mine and my teammates.

    As someone who’s made it very clear I have major issues with members of the media that take little or no pride in their work it’s the height of hypocrisy for me to say what I did, in any forum. I started this blog to give people a look into the life we live on and off the field, not to get into back and forths with people I don’t like or have issues with. Doing that will only make this a rant filled no content bunch of words.

    Quite a few people have tossed Biblical references my way in the past week or so after the Thorne incident in Baltimore talking about turning the other cheek and being above the fray. I’ve often thought I do and try to be that way, but it’s very clear in the last two weeks I’ve done the exact opposite. That’s not to say I won’t respond when I feel someone’s calling me out and is wrong, but doing so in every instance will serve no one and only make me say and act like the very people I have issues with.

    The only perfect human to walk the face of the earth died a few thousand years ago, that much I know. I am far from perfect and make more than my share of mistakes, which is something I have no problem with because that’s part of being human. However when my mistakes adversely affect other peoples lives, that’s a big deal. It was a callous, wreckless and irresponsible thing to say, and for that I apologize to Barry, Barry’s family, Barry’s friends and the Giants organization, my teammates and the Red Sox organization as well as anyone else that may have been offended by the comments I made.

    It'll be interesting to see the Sox play the Giants in June... too bad it won't be in the NL park where Curt would have to step up to the plate.

    He's not even scheduled to face them, assuming the schedule holds. It's not like the Giants pitchers would be lining up to hit Schilling in defense of their beloved Barry anyway.

    The problem is that he attacked Bonds with lies, the same exact shit that he was killing people earlier for, and he made it personal which also was uncalled for, he could have easily destroyed Bonds without doing any of those things.

    Why wouldn't they line up to throw at Schilling (assuming they had the chance) or Sox players...This wasn't just an off hand comment about Bonds play. This was a personal attack of the worst kind, he talked about his relationship with his wife and called him a cheater. This is as low as it get's and was totally unprovoked... just a jack ass running his big mouth about another mans life. If I'm a young guy on Bonds team I'd be first in line to take the heat for him.

    :lol: Bonds is a cancer is the SF dugout, that would be like Barlow defending Owens after he got heat for calling Garcia a queer.

    Based on what? Him carrying his team on his back... yeah I'm sure the guys must hate that. Even guys like Kent, who he fought with, respect his game.

    You did know that they really didn't want to sign him back this year right? They respect his talent but not the man himself.

    You're changing the point here... what makes you so sure his teamates wouldn't throw at Schilling or the Sox players? These guys have come out and stood up for him before in the media and obviously respect him on the field. Zito was gitty with praise after coming to the team and his teamates gushed about how great he was last season when he passed Babe Ruth... having a closed door celebration after the game that lasted almost an hour before they let the media in. Doesn't sound like much of a cancer to me.

    Secondly, your teamates don't sign you to a contract your GM does... and if they didn't want to sign him... why did they? They even had a last minute chance to back out when the amphetamines story broke out but they went on to sign him anyway. Just because you don't like Bonds doesn't mean everybody does.
