Curt…awesome game last night…this is your year…Listen, I know that ALS is your thing, but want to turn people on to the CASA project. CASA (court appointed childrens advocate). It’s a volunteer organization. People can check it out @ http://www.thecasaproject.org This is an awesome organization and a chance to make a difference in a childs life. Meanwhile go SOX!!!

Hey Curt, Just wondering if you think that you would be better off trying to be a strikeout pitcher and going 6 strong or trying to let them put the ball in play and going longer, and if so is it because you worry about the pen, they say that you wanted to save pitches. I think you should stay what made you great and blow them away.

Curt I would like to leave a statement raher than a question in saying that I hope and dont think you do take some of the bloggers seriously or some of the callers on sports radio. You have done things for this team and city that no true Red Sox fan will ever forget. And also nobody I have spoken with is worried after one start, its one start. Anyway congrats and good luck on your business ventures , the upcoming season and contracts ( which hopoefully will be in Boston) Thank you for your time

I haven’t followed baseball since Biggio was a rookie, but I really think you are superfantastically cool for a) blogging, and writing well indeed b) your family’s commitment to philanthropy.

I’m a year out from a stem cell transplant for leukemia. I’m in remission, but cancer sucks #$#@$%. My friends and I have fully committed to doing whatever we can do kick cancer’s butt. My seven year old daughter and I plan on raising a million dollars in my lifetime. She even has her own team now for our Light the Night walk in San Antonio. Her goal is to raise $3,002 this year. So far, she’s raised $381 in a few days. She’s quite the kiddo.

I’m tired of seeing my friends die. Or be so sick. And my Zkat is tired of mom spending time away from her - first being ill, and now making sure I stay well.

God Bless you, dude. You. Well you are amazing. And yes, I love me some Clemens too.

Don’t you think they should have let Tavarez start a spring training game first before they announced him as the starter? Gabbard has been lights out all spring. I would have preferred Gabbard and Snyder got a chance the last week at winning the 5th Starter role over Tavarez.

Not that I don’t think Tavarez can do the job, its just sometimes competition lets you find the diamonds in the rough. And I think Gabbard is going to be a sleeper.

IMO - The 2004 Sox would beat any Yankees team from the 90’s.

Mr. Schilling,

With Papelbon moving back to the pen and Tavarez moving to the rotation what affect do you think this will happen with the Roger Clemens situation?

Hi Curt - I really have appreciated your work with ALS over the years. This terrible disease took my step mother back in 1999 so i have experienced this first hand.

Theo has really assembled a great team and rotation this year, can’t wait to see you guys play. I live in New York these days so I have to endure idiot Yankee fans just to see you play (yes, i do check that my Health Insurance premiums are paid before going to the Stadium!!!)

Mr. Schilling, many thanks for taking the time to write this bog, and sharing your experiences as a player. I’m looking forward to this season even more now that I have this alternative to more traditional sport reporting (which is so often just editorializing).

Also, I appreciate your sense of balance in answering some of the negative or vitriolic posts. However, I’d rather read more of your analysis and experiences as a player, and less of your responding to comments that are negative and lack civility. Those folks generally have their minds made up and are just being provocative, so there’s not much value in responding to them.

Curt,

Two questions, first off last year my high school team and I read about the anniversary of the Pawtucket - Rochester game and decided to have our own marathon game for charity. We chose to raise money for ALSA and the game lasted from dawn ’til dusk (5:30am-8:00pm) with the final score of 64-47 in 33 innings, and it seemed longer because it was 106 and bright sun. It was difficult to raise money because people and businesses were very reluctant to donate. We ended up with a total of $1,625, however this year we have set a goal of $5,000. Do you have any advice from your experince with charities and fundraising you could recommend?

Second, I am a pitcher in college now and recently had my arm slot dropped down to 3/8. What workouts do you do gain strength in your arm? Or do you put more of an emphesis on leg workouts?

Thanks and God Bless,

Colin
