Is Game Over Imminent for Curt Schilling’s Video Game Company?

By ⋅ May 16, 2012 ⋅ One comment

Curt Schilling has many talents. Pitching in the playoffs, bleeding into socks, butting his nose into steroid hearings without cause – the list goes on and on (and on and on, given Schilling’s talent for ranting). But apparently one talent Schilling doesn’t have is making video games. Kate Bramson of the Providence Journal reported Tuesday [...]

By ⋅ April 9, 2012 ⋅ 3 comments

So 0-3 again. That sounds familiar.  Call me sadistic, but I’m starting to find the Red Sox total ineptitude to be kind of funny. Here are some thoughts as the season kicks off, yet again, with a losing streak: Ben Cherington did not do his job. No, moving pieces into holes to create more holes [...]

Curt Schilling Bloody Sock Doctor Under Investigation

By ⋅ February 25, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Does the name Dr. William J. Morgan ring a bell? Well if it doesn’t, it should. The Red Sox would likely still be mired in a seemingly endless drought without a World Series win. I’ve lost count. What would it be now? Ninety-two years? Anyway, Dr. Morgan was the brilliant man who performed a risky [...]
