Curt Schilling speaking about steroids: Mind your own business
This how Curt Schilling Repays Clemens- who turned his career around
Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling reminds me of a co-worker of mine that can’t seem to keep his nose out of business that is none of his concern (even if he’s right). In fact, Curt’s nickname (behind his back) is “Assistant General Manager”, because he is known for going straight to the General Manager to voice his “concerns” about certain players or policies.
The fact that Curt has a blog and routinely “gives his opinions” about his co-workers by name, 
and his “suggestions” to “clean up baseball”, just adds to his arrogance, holier-than-thou attitude, and hyprocacy. Curt, you are a PLAYER, not an owner, manager, announcer, journalist, or commissioner.
His latest comments are against someone who deserves to get ripped: Roger Clemens. Curt says his opinion of Roger is from a “fan’s perspective”. Okay…Looks like Curt waited many years to finally find some dirt on Roger, and to finally say this:
“Roger has denied every allegation brought to the table, so as a fan my thought is that Roger will find a way in short order to organize a legal team to guarantee a retraction of the allegations made, a public apology is made, and his name is completely cleared.”
“If he doesn’t do that then there aren’t many options as a fan for me other than to believe his career 192 wins and 3 Cy Youngs he won prior to 1997 were the end. From that point on the numbers were attained through using PED’s (performance-enhancing drugs)….(I)f that is the case with Roger, the 4 Cy Youngs should go to the rightful winners and the numbers should go away if he cannot refute the accusations.”
Considering that Roger Clemens took Curt aside years ago (even though they were on opposite teams) and “dressed him down” to motivate him to get on the right path of work ethic (this was before Curt found Jesus), this is some “thanks”.
Curt fails to mention that
1) Clemens’ attorney-at-law already denied the allegations, and
2) just because the Court of Public Opinion found Roger guilty, does not mean that a Court of Law would find Roger guilty.
It’s a shame Curt believes we live in a society where citizens have to defend themselves from allegations. In other words, Curt doesn’t seem to believe in “innocent until proven guilty”. There is PROBABLE CAUSE that Roger did steroids, as uncovered by the Mitchell Report. That probably cause promoted me to rip Roger, but Roger never helped my career, and I’m not his co-worker. The 
probable cause is good enough for me “as a fan”, who is not on the “inside of the game”, but Roger has not been legally charged with any crime, and will not be. It’s the word of a drug dealer vs Roger Clemens. Is there any way to prove that Roger used PED all of these years?
Baseball is NOT like the Olympics. The 1919 Black Sox purposely lost a fixed World Series against the Cincinnati Reds to help out gamblers. Well, the Reds’ World Series trophy and place in the history books was never erased, because to paraphrase the rule book: “Unless a manager files a formal protest immediately following the game after notifying the umpire of his intentions, whatever happened on the field STAYS on the field- and the record books.”
Clemens should NOT be stripped of his awards, because it has not been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt it he used HGH/steroids, and even if he did, there is no evidence showing how long he used them, and no evidence showing HOW HGH/steroids can help statistics (there were 50 SCRUBS listed in the Mitchell Report, that even regular fans had never heard of, or if they did, they had forgotten about them).
So as much as I am happy Clemens’ REPUTATION is ruined, I am NOT happy that Curt Schilling has to CHIME IN and take this opportunity to rip a fellow member of the Player’s Union (I believe players should always have each other’s back against owners and the Commissioner’s Office). I sure hope Curt has no skeletons in HIS closet. Is Curt perhaps a little envious that Clemens has won SEVEN CY YOUNG awards, and Curt has won…let’s see..uhm…ZERO.
It doesn’t matter if Curt is right about a lot of things- the fact that he hides behind the facade of moral righteousness, and makes PUBLIC judgments against his fellow players by name is what frustrates me.
Be honest Curt- you’re jealous of Roger’s success, and you want to go into the Hall of Fame yourself since you are “clean”.
Until YOU come out and say that, I think you’d have to give back all of your Cy Youngs…all ZERO of them.

Look, let me follow up:
Does Roger have to clear his name? Hell no he doesn’t. If he doesn’t care about the statements in the report and how they reflect on him then I don’t need to be the one to tell you he can do what he wants.
I want him to clear his name because I want to believe that everything he’s done has been because of the legendary work ethic and otherworldly skills he’s always possessed
Oh, okay.
which coworker is that?
