"He could come out and say that he thinks JFK was a homo..."

If he was talking about Kerry, would that be much of a stretch?

Oh, MAN, what a blow to The Sallow Traitor!! He probably knew Schilling was a Bush guy anyway, but you can just imagine how Kerry would've used the Sox win to his campaign advantage (it would've been quite sickening!). It makes me giddy to know he can't do that! Hee-hee!

she was gushing that if kerry wins it will be a "triple play" for massachusetts with the red sox winning the world series and the patriots having won the super bowl.

It took me a minute, but I finally got it.

"Gibson seems to have sh@t himself. Priceless!"

HA!! All the hard work done by the Lame Stream Media over the past few months, no, YEARS to totaly destroy President Bush has just BLOWN UP in their faces once again!!

I LOVE IT!!

And the look on Gibson's face coupled with his comments, how can you NOT say that the media is biased now!?! Not that we needed any more evidence.

What a turd to say what he did! Those damned World Champion RED SOX! How dare they be for President Bush?! How dare they divide the nation?!

Gibson is such a little turd.

Why should any of them appear with Kerry...Kerry made it clear he would prefer his victory rather than theirs, if given the choice.

That's Kerry all right - alienating sports fans wherever he goes.

In Michigan - "Everybody knows Buckeye Football"

In Ohio - Wears Boston hat

In Boston - says he would rather be pres than have the Sox break the Curse.

What next - a trip to DC to root against the Skins on Sunday ??

CURT IN THE COMMUNITY: Widely recognized as one of the most community-minded players in baseball, Curt has received virtually every community service award in baseball...in 2001 alone, Curt received the Roberto Clemente Award presented by John Hancock, Denver's Branch Rickey Award, the Hutch Award and the Jim "Catfish" Hunter Humanitarian Award, presented by the North Carolina ALS Association...Schilling wasted little time demonstrating his eagerness to continue the efforts he began in Philadelphia and Phoenix upon his trade to the Red Sox...on the day of his acquisition, he announced plans to make a $500,000 contribution to the Jimmy Fund and plans to continue his countless other charitable endeavors in New England...Curt and his wife Shonda have worked tirelessly on behalf of numerous charitable causes with a particular focus on raising funding for research as well as elevating awareness of ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and melanoma...in 1992, the Schillings adopted the Philadelphia Chapter of the ALS Association to benefit from their fundraising and public awareness efforts...they launched "Curt's Pitch," a pledge drive for Philadelphia fans to donate to the ALS Association based on Curt's annual strikeout and win totals (www.curtspitchforals.org)...the Schillings inaugurated "The Curt Schilling ALS Golf Outing," now in its 11th year in the Philadelphia area...when Curt was traded to Arizona in 2000, the Schillings replicated their ALS fundraising with the "Curt's Pitch" program and the "Curt Schilling FORE ALS Golf Tournament" for D-Backs fans to support ALS...the program continues in conjunction with the ALS Association of Massachusetts in 2004...when Curt signed a 4-year contract with Arizona in 2001, he donated $1 million to be divided among the United Way ($500,000) and the ALS Chapters of Philadelphia and Phoenix ($250,000 each)...Curt and Shonda are responsible for generating nearly $4 million for the ALS Association in the past 12 years...in September of 2002, Curt and Shonda, a survivor of melanoma, directed their energy at prevention and awareness of melanoma by launching SHADE, The Curt and Shonda Schilling Melanoma Foundation of America (www.ShadeFoundation.org)...in October of 2003, the SHADE Foundation received the "Excellence in Cancer Awareness Award," presented by Congressional Families Action for Cancer Awareness...Schilling is also a supporter of Garth Brooks' Touch 'em All Foundation...the December, 2002 issue of Worth Magazine named Curt "Philanthropist of the Year" for his significant contributions of time and money as well as the public awareness he has brought to important issues...Curt was the 2000 winner of the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association Humanitarian Award...in 1996, he was honored with Phi Delta Theta's Lou Gehrig Award, presented annually to the major leaguer who best exemplifies the character of the Hall of Famer and fraternity member...that same year, he was named Baseball's "Most Caring Athlete" by USA Today Weekend.

And a bit more about Schillng and his father...

From Fathers.Com...July 3, 2002

Curt Schilling, World Series co-MVP pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks, announced the birth of his fourth child, Garrison Michael, last Thursday. "I am incredibly thankful that God has given me such a wonderful family," said the proud dad. Some believe Garrison's birth was a miracle since Curt's wife Shonda was battling melanoma during her pregnancy. In December, Shonda had the last of her five operations, and today she is cancer free. "Her battle hasn't made me a better pitcher," Curt has said, "but it's made me a better person, I hope, and a better husband and father." Schilling pays tribute his own father's influence. During one Little League season, Curt was upset because he thought the coach wasn't playing him enough. His father told him, "Then it's your job to work harder and become a better player. Make the coach change his mind about you." Curt says, "I've never forgotten that advice." Schilling's father died just a few months before Curt's major league debut in 1988. But Schilling reserved a ticket for that game so one seat could be left unoccupied--for his dad. And he has done the same for every game he's started since. "I thought it was cool that among 50,000 fans there was one empty seat in the ballpark during the seventh game of the World Series last year, and it belonged to my dad. His memory and his impact on my life are always with me."

Also:

The Curt and Shonda Schilling Melanoma Foundation

Kerry should certainly be quiet.

Regards, Ivan

Red Sox pitching ace Curt Schilling will accompany President George W. Bush to his campaign stops in Manchester and Portsmouth on Friday.

Wow, I knew Curt was a Bush supporter, but this is even better! I wonder how the Sox owners feel about this? HeHe) I know Werner is a big Kerry supporter, don't know about John Henry or Lucchino.

Are you planning to go to this?

"“And make sure you tell everybody to vote,” Schilling said Gibson, “and vote Bush next week.” "

That's going to leave a mark!

With these baseball players, it's usually, (R-FL) or (R-AZ) or (R-TX). You think they'll live in cold weather with high taxes? Not on your life.
