MESA, Ariz.- More great stuff from Curt Schilling's blog, 38pitches.com.
Schilling once again chastizies the media about his quote that he'd be interested in pitching for the Cubs or Tampa Bay, and also reveals that he talks to himself.
Here's his latest entry:
This quote:
“I’m not sure if I am coming back or not, but yes, I’d definitely be interested the Cubs, and in Tampa if I did”
Became
“I’m definitely coming back and would play for the Cubs”.
I have said to no one, including myself, that I am definitely coming back, because it’s not true. However if I did, the Cubs, and Tampa, were they to need a starting pitcher for the 2nd half of the season and into October, would be 2 situations I’d be very interested in.
Little ‘misquotes’ lead to news that really isn’t news. First off a team has to want you to make anything of this sort work. I love Joe Maddon, always have, and I’d play for Lou Pinella in a heart beat.
So I’ll be clear here. If I do feel I can be better than I was in 2007, and I do decide to come back, AND either of those teams is in the market for a starting pitcher (because lets face it, both teams have what could be outstanding rotations) I would DEFINITELY be interested in both. The Cubs present as much of a cool challenge for me as the Red Sox did in 04, and Tampa has a roster of guys I’d love to play with.
Oh and for what it’s worth, that’s not an all inclusive list, those were the teams mentioned.
