The team's star pitcher, Curt Schilling, signed off during an ABC television interview with the words: "Make sure you tell everybody to vote, and vote Bush next week" -- a quote gleefully passed on to reporters by President George W. Bush's campaign.

And this IS true, my mother saw it.

1. What an idiot.

2. So What?

Only Lemmings will be swayed!

5. the POINT is, everyone seems to think the Sox win is a sign/omen, etc.

It's to point out the Sox are not ALL for the "hometown boy"..

12. I don't think anyone ever said that. You have to figure in an

organization as large as a major league team there will diverse views. On the other hand, I do think the symbolism of a team from Boston, winning the championship, coupled with the NE Patriots winning the super bowl last year, is unique.

:silly:

19. I said it.

I wasn't really 100% serious, but I said it. :silly:

15. another multimillionaire for bushco

yawn - just too bad he got a stage to blather from - but it probably wouldn't have been any different if St. Louis had won - one of their multimillionaires probably would have done the same thing.

3. like I said before - Is this the beginning of a new curse????

[sui generis]

4. okay, we take away the curse, we put back the curse.

check back next year for the return of the bambino. . .

7. Remember when Tom Brady supposedly was backing Kerry

and everyone got so upset? I'm sure they'll get equally upset now, right? RIGHT????

There were even rumors Brady had to call off a fundraiser, though I have no idea if that's true or not.

8. just supports the Roger Clemens hypothesis . . .

you don't need brains to be a great pitcher . . .

[colonel odis]

10. further proof they don't play baseball in the american league. n/t

[realcountrymusic]

14. Huh?

Sox in 4 straight over the NL team that won more games than any other team, including 2 games in the NL park with no DH. Cards never even had a lead.

Repeat again?

Schilling is a born-again -- he thanked Jesus for his victory over the yanks in game 5 of the ALCS. Discount.

17. sorry. just my opinion.

11. Who Cares...He's A Rent-A-Player

All this fatass cares about is his tax breaks and his investments and how he can make even more money off this thing. In a year or so, he'll be gone from Boston with his bundle of cash, going back to Texas or NASCAR-land.

This dude is as Boston as Bunnypants is a native Texan.

[giant_robot]

13. He should drop the "c" from his name...

...and go by "Curt Shilling"

[WilliamPitt]

16. Don't. Care.

18. He lives up to his name...
