Schilling Calls Out Clemens

[CamdenChick]

Rut Roh. And sorry if someone posted this...I didn't see it

Pitcher says Rocket should give up 4 Cy Youngs he's won since 1997

Then give the award to the "rightful winner" as he said. Problem is, there's a decent chance that person who would be next up for whatever award also used steroids.

Putting his money where his mouth was.

It took alot of guts for Schilling to call him out. I have alot of respect for him for doing it. Everything he said about this being a conscious decision by these guys and knowing exactly what they were doing is 100% correct. So whether it was once, twice, or for 15 years there should be ramifications for what these guys did.

I can't stand that he Schilling is a Red Sox, but I love what he says.

[Ruzious]

Guts has nothing to do with Schillings remarks. Feigning outrage is what he does. His demand is that unless Clemens proves he didn't take steroids, he should give back his Cy Young Awards. How ridiculous is that? How does he go about proving the negative? I'm not defending Clemens, but Schilling is playing the role of a clown.

[Maverick2143]

Yeah Schilling is a clown of the highest order. However, he does raise an interesting question(not that he meant to) as to what MLB should do about Individual Awards. Lots of interesting and valid points on both sides.

[Dr. FLK]

Schilling engaging in pretentious, self-righteous discussion? Shocking!

[erb8472]

I wish they'd figure out a way to test for diarrhea of the mouth because Schilling would have been banned from the game a long time ago.

[Baroquen131]

Schilling doesn't do anything that dozens of people do here daily. Spout off with strong, unsolicited opinions. :002_sbiggrin: He just has a large, national spotlight on him.

[CrimsonTribe]

Not that I disagree, but Curt Schilling is a pompous, self-serving blowhard who shouldn't be taken seriously.

[TyCobb]

Schilling is trying dearly to talk his way into the HOF. NOT HAPPENING CURT!!!!!

If the final outcome of this little kerfuffle is Schill publicly getting his piehole slugged by Clemens, we'd all be the better for it.

I agree with what you are saying -- 100%. Emphasis on "conscious decision."

There is a problem though.

Just as another poster stated: We have absolutely no way of knowing if the next guy inline was clean or not. I have a feeling that the Mitchell Report merely scratched the surface -- they got someone to roll and give up some names. That's it. There are more trainers, players, etc. involved. In fact, I wouldn't be shocked to find out that a vast majority of starting players were using some sort of performance enhancer. That might be an overstatement of the scope -- but it wouldn't shock me.

I'm glad someone has called Clemens to task. The ball has been hit back to his court. It will be interesting to see if he responds.

Wouldn't it be sweet to see Clemens called before congress.

[Gurgi]

Smoltz has said basically if it was him he would "fight, sue, do anything. It would be easy. Give me a lie detector test" Seems like some of the clean guys have some anger built up over this issue.

I personally love it. The more the media pounds this stuff the better the chances of cleaning it up.

[Moose Milligan]

The Schilling hate on here reaks of jealousy.

We'd love him if he was ours.
