Schilling really needs to "hang 'em up." Plus, the RED PAINT scandal is embarassing. As an American, faking/cheating should be frowned upon. 6-7 runs is better than what old Schill can do at this point.

Beckett is the only reliable guy in the rotation right now and face it, other than okajima and papelbon, the bullpens a joke. now will all u bosox fans get off of phil hughes's blog and stop making retarded comments? thank u its JAMES shields and dustin MCGOWAN. and they are both better than you, so i think you should know their names.

I think a lot of it is people assume that because you have more, you want less. Obviously that's not the case for a lot of people. All of this stuff coming out, I don't know if it's just a feeding frenzy. It's at a time when you don't know what to believe. Do you believe some, all, none? How can you tell? That stuff just snowballs." You have not commented much (if at all) here regarding that entire situation but I would like to point something out, which I am sure you are already aware. There is a verse in the Christian bible (Luke 12:48) that states: New American Standard Bible (©1995) "but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more." You and other people in the public eye are given much and should be held up as examples, period. Should you be heroes to my children? No. I should. However, you (speaking in general terms of those who have "been given much") need to be that much more concerned and aware of your actions. Clemens knew better. This was no "accident." He didn't just fall into this mess. He made the mess and now has to deal with the consequences. Are some of the accusations false? Perhaps. (However, I think that there is likely much more truth to all of this than falsehood.) Given that, Clemens should have never placed himself in the position to be blamed like this. He has given this patronizing "apology" and it's disgusting. He gets no free pass on this one just because he is just like the rest of us and makes "mistakes," Curt. I am not a Christian but raised both of my children with the thought that "to whom much is given, much is required." We all have to own up to our faults and not make excuses by calling our lousy decision making and amoral/immoral decisions "mistakes." A mistake is when I add/subtract something incorrectly in my checkbook. It was not done with intent... What Clemens did was with intent... Please, please, please... call it like it is, Curt. You shoot straight as an arrow. Continue to do so. Imo, forgiveness is not required but can be granted ONLY when the person who has offended contritely requests it. Clemens, because he has been given much, owes not only his wife, children, and those with whom he had affairs (and their families) a real apology - but he owes the rest of us and needs to knock it off. The Clemens Charade has gone on long enough... Chaiah (ToofarawayfromBoston) Curt, you were quoted (regarding Roger Clemens) in the Globe with the following statement:

I have written you before. I want nothing from you except verification that you are descended from Tom Montague Lindsey. He is descended from Thomas Jefferson Lindsey who had three wives. I am descended from his first wife, Rachel Malinda Edwards, and I think you are descended from his second wife, Hulda Jane Crow. That makes us some kind of cousins. I promise you I will not exploit this relationship. I just want to fill in my genealogy gaps. By the way, I loved you as a Diamondback and wish you still were. Also, I'm glad you are a republican. We need more of us. God's blessings on your rehab. Donna Friedrichsen Sun City West. AZ kfriedrichsen@cox.net Hi Curt.. I have written you before.

I cannot wait to see you pitch again and will be buying tickets to whatever game you choose to come back. I predict it will be you throwing a perfect game against the Yanks. You are an inspiration and your determination, faith and integrity keep me going. Keep it up! M Dear Curt -

Everyone looks great and the rotation is good just like you said. I am glad that our bats got going, I thought I would have a stroke there for awhile. I almost took my husbands blood pressure meds. I am ok now. I am really happy that you are nearing your first day of throwing, good luck and I can't wait to see you on he mound again I miss you not being up there on the mound. I wish you all the best and please tell the team that I feel another WS coming on. On a personal note please let Brandon know we are praying for a speedy recovery and we are glad that his surgery went well, I almost lost my son to the same surgery. His had ruptured and he was hiding the pain. I am a very lucky mom, and I am happy that Brandon is doing well. Good luck and God bless... Hey Curt,
