Good news, CWAMB faithful! Everyone’s favorite Red Sox ace and son of Sam Horn has taken a few minutes from blathering away on 38fathead.com to answer a few questions!
“Damn, V, I love listenin’ to me. I love listenin’ to me almost as much as I love listenin’ to me. Now shut yer hole and pass me another Krispy Kreme.” (image courtesy of Sports Talk)
CWAMB: Thanks for taking a few minutes to sit down with us, Curt.
SCHILL: No problem. You’re sure that check is good?
CWAMB: Uhhhh… anyway, you’ve had a busy couple of weeks. I see that you’ve been busy giving Red Sox Nation (and whoever else happens to be in earshot) your thoughts on Roger Clemens signing with the Yankees.
SCHILL: Yeah, well, I just think that we don’t need him. There’s no way he’s as good as Julian Tavarez. No frickin’-the-hell way.
CWAMB: Yeah. Gotcha.
(A long pause ensues, which involves several sips of an alcoholic beverage crossing the lips of the author, and lots of incredulous blinking.)
CWAMB: Moving on, last week you reacted publicly to Orioles broadcaster Gary Thorne questioning the validity of the blood in your sock during the 2004 postseason.
SCHILL: Yeah. I totally called him out on that.
CWAMB: So, it didn’t matter to you that Thorne, a nationally known broadcaster, got his story from your teammate Doug Mirabelli?
SCHILL: Who? Oh, that one dude from ESPN. Yeah, I totally bet him a million bucks that it was real. A million frickin’ bucks.
CWAMB: Or that Thorne had already publicly recanted his story, saying that he had misunderstood the joking context that Mirabelli had told him the story under?
SCHILL: Nah. It was a million bucks, dude. I coulda totally made a million bucks!
CWAMB: Or that Thorne had publicly apologized before you ever decided to shoot your mouth off?
SCHILL: I’m gonna eat your doughnut too, dude. FACE!
CWAMB: Well, I’m nauseated enough for one day. Thanks for turning your shining moment and a legitimately badassed piece of baseball history in lukewarm blog-fodder, Schill.
SCHILL: No prob. It’s all about the Schill, baby. Oh, yeah, and 38fathead.com, too. And the Sons of Sam Houston or whatever the hell it’s called.
CWAMB: I need another drink.
