Thank you again (I feel like I am going to say that a lot) for sharing your personal/professional life with us fans. It makes it more meaningful for us (as if Red Sox Nation needed to it to be more meaningful). I can not wait to continue reading more. Matt Curt,

It's only fitting. You should consider how much more endorsement money you get being in New England compared with somewhere else as a result of your special status here. That being said, the Red Sox would be stupid to let you go at any price. They sell so many shirts etc. because of you, and they'd get so much media attention what with your retirement and all, it's just shortsighted of them not to pony up. You guys just need to all sit down with a pitcher of beer and make it work. -xnmby Hey Curt,

As many before said, the stuff with Millar was a hit. I saw him in spring training last year and ragged him a bit and told him to go deep.....he did. Miss seeing him in the right uniform and same will go for you next year if that's the case. No matter what, we all got 2004 to enjoy and when those Yankee nitwits talk about how many championships they bought it's great to remind them of the biggest choke of baseball history. Good luck this year and thanks for the blog.....beats the heck out of the funny pages.....oh yeah, to Danny Boy....nice dew!! Hey Curt,

Good luck. I have lived in AZ for 33 years and you treated me to the only world championship in AZ ever. That is how I remember you. I will always remember that. Q - How do you view the Dbacks progress this off season? It would be great to get your take on it. KG Curt - you are a great pitcher. Good luck.

How does the Boston media compare with those two cities? It must be hard for all of you athletes to play in Boston when it comes to the media. You have Ron Borges who has an agenda against the Patriots, and Dan Shaughnessy who obviously hates the Red Sox. These two are probably the worst examples, but some of these members of the media seem to just be in it to mess around with you guys. They were probably losers in high school who couldn't get dates, and now they are getting their revenge. Hey Curt,

Thank you for the honesty Thank you for the professionalism Thank you for the hard work Thank you for putting your career and your well being on the line in 2004 What you did was perhaps the gutsiest baseball thing I have ever seen and it has made me a Schilling fan for life. So if you dont end up in Boston next year you can count those of us that truly realize your effort and sacrifice will always be your fans I sincerely hope you have a good year and the Sox are forced to offer you a huge contract for next year...good luck! Signed Always a fan Curt,

At the end of the day it is about "W"s. You have deserved every penny you've made since joining the Sox, and hopefully will do the same this year. If you win 20, name your price and I am sure each of us will pay an extra couple of buck to keep you in Boston next year. You win 12-15, you'll still be a multi-millionaire and I hope you'll stay in Boston - even if our price isn't best. Loyalty and respect go a long way, and hopefully all the way into the HoF in a Sox cap. You say that you will take the "better all around offer." As you clearly pointed out, an offer isn't always just about the benjamins... That said, I hope you'll also consider the full package - the best city, the best fans, best public schools in Mass (props to Medfield), and the best damn WS victory ever. Good luck Curt.... Now go out there and make this a very easy decision for Theo, Larry, and John. Curt -
