A day after writing on his blog that he has "some interest" in running for the seat held for nearly 50 years by Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Curt Schilling did not back off -- and sounded even more determined in considering the opportunity. The one thing Schilling would not be fond of is the scrutiny that would come with a potential run. He said he would have to make a decision "in relatively short order" but gave no specific deadline. "[Running] would be fun. The whole spotlight media crap, not so much," the former major league pitcher, who helped the Boston Red Sox win the World Series in 2004 and 2007, told Boston radio station WEEI on Thursday. "But [a run] would be a lot of fun because pretty much anybody that you're fighting against in office right now doesn't really have much of a leg to stand on right now. "There's nobody you can go up against that you couldn't probably drag out a laundry list of stuff and say, 'Listen, this person's already proven that they're status quo, that they're business as usual, and we need anything but in every way shape and form moving forward."
You won't find a much bigger Schilling fan than this guy. I love everything he's done for the game and especially what did for the Sox. But that's baseball. Off the field, I hate the guy. Let's just say I wouldn't wanna go fishing with the man just because all he does is talk. I have faith he'd be able to bullshit his way through politics but there is no way he doesn't throw down his own stats into his campaign run. He just doesn't seem like a fun guy to hang out with. I might come back from class and say, "hey I got a 88 on my test" only to have Curt slap me with a line about how he used to smoke batters with his 88 mph splitter. No one likes that kind of guy.
