[boot man]

Let me preface my statement by saying I really like Schilling on the team. He shows lots of guts, studies his arse off, keeps guys in line, intelligent enough to speak his mind with the press, and he doesnt get along with D!ck, I mean Dan Shaughnessy.

But do you think maybe he could have come into camp in better shape, and then asked for the extension? Looking more like El Guapo than a guy you sign at age 42 for $13M. But better yet, maybe we get a chance to sign him after the season...for what he is truly worth.
