Curt Schilling pitched a no-hitter for 8 2/3 innings yesterday, allowing only Shannon Stewart's single just before the final out to finish with a one-hitter and give the Red Sox a 1-0 victory over the A's. Joe Blanton was nearly as good, giving up just four hits in 7 1/3 innings, but a first inning home run to David Ortiz (his 11th on the season) proved to be the difference.
Still, the win was bittersweet for Schilling, who at the age of 40 nearly missed notching his first career no-hitter.
Having called fastballs to the first two batters, Varitek called for a first-pitch slider to Stewart. Schilling wanted to throw a fastball… "We get two outs, and I was sure, and I had a plan, and I shook Tek off," Schilling said. "And I get a big 'What if?' for the rest of my life."… "I was sure he was taking, and Tek was sure he was swinging," Schilling said. "And I was wrong."
Wait, so Curt Schilling was unflappably certain that he was correct, only to be proven wrong? I'm sorry, but I just don't buy it.
But don't worry, Curt. Sox fans still love you. After all, Who needs Roger? When you have Curt! And also: who needs exercise? When you have this delicious pint of Haagen-Dazs!

Pint! I am thinking she probably goes with the half-gallon.
Wait, I thought we were talking about Curt Schilling's large self!?
meh, at least he's relatively honest.
Varitek should have pulled a "Crash Davis" on Schilling.
She Has Curt??? Where? In her stomach?
In Boston, that girl would qualify as 'sexy'. Give her a Brady jersey, and she's 'super sexy'.
That's the hottest bitch I've ever seen on this site. I like to think she was jumping up and down with that sign. Mmmm.
Who needs real, live women? When you have sexy pictures like that!
Damn…. Bill Simmons sure has let himself go.
something sad about an adult hold up a sign at a baseball game. leave that for the 10 year old girls. pathetic. oh and that fatty in the pic gets her excercise walking back and forth to the fridge.
You could throw a slice of pizza at her…wait, that's how they usually feed her.
Has Curt learned nothing from Ebby Calvin LaLoosh?
After the game Curt filmed the movie, "Curt Schilling Blew San Francisco." Fuck him, he doesn't deserve good things.
In Massachusetts, we call her a "keepah."
C'mon Curt… Shannon Stewart? You blew a no-hitter to a batter with a girl's name?
That's like performing really awesome sex on a stripper and then at the last second you get her pregnant.
He's standing out on the mound, one out away from a no-no. I'm thinking he was entirely focused on what would make for best post on his blog instead of, you know, actually listening to the catcher.
"Slider?! No, man. I have to close this out with authority! All fastballs to end the ninth. This is going to be the best blog post ever. I can't imagine how much traffic I'm going to get tomorrow. God I am so cool. Here comes the gas…"
"Whoops."
Curt Schilling Blew His No Hitter
That's not the only thing he blew. I heard he was seen leaving a club in Oakland with A-Rod.
Sounds alot like Bull Durham….. Serve it up meat
Why did Fatty feel the need to put a St. Louis Blues logo on her placard?
Weed your wrong. A-Rod likes the well-toned muscular type.
something tells me schilling is a spitter
Curt's still got it, and so do the Sox. Brilliant intellect on the part of the Boston haters round here, though. I never would've expected sophomoric gay jokes from the toothless masses who wish they were blessed enough to reside in scenic New England, birthplace of America! Well, unless you count Philadelphia, but c'mon, Lexington & Concord really got the ball rolling. Sure, our ladies may not be the loveliest, but we more than make up for it with our ridiculously high cost of living and high taxes!
