Which sport is this baseball thing again?

You scored as Curt Schilling. You are Curt Schilling! You are a trooper. You push yourself to the limit, regardless of any setbacks. You are also not afraid to express your opinions on a variety of topics. Very family-oriented. You're the man!! </td> Curt Schilling 60% Johnny Damon 53% Theo Epstein 53% Mark Bellhorn 50% Manny Ramirez 50% Jason Varitek 47% Kevin Millar 47% David Ortiz 40% Which Red Sox Player Are You? created with QuizFarm.com

Good pitcher, even very good. Alas, dedicated republican and bush-supporter.

Eeek!

Well... at least he's a good pitcher.

Schilling is best known, probably, for being the guy who defied a serious injury to his ankle to pitch in the American League Championship Series (AKA the ALCS) and World Series (even to the point that he had special shoes made, had some relatively squicky surgery, and then got up and pitched his heart out).

I disagree with his politics. I think he's a fine ball player.

OK! Now I know who he is! (Damon is the one with the hair. Thus ends my Sox knowledge, for reliability purposes.)

I'm another who likes Schilling, doesn't like his politics. Part of my liking for the guy comes from finding out he's a big geek. Several years ago, I read in an interview on a gaming site where he proclaimed his love for Everquest and how he took a laptop on the road with him so he could log in from his hotel. Jacques Villeneuve the race car driver and Todd Pratt the baseball player were also outed as gamer dorks in the same article.

So he can't be all bad, can he?

[theodosia.livejournal.com]

No, any sports guy who carries his own laptop around with him is not all bad!

I bet he types with one finger, though. :-)

What they said. According to the profile, you are a large man with an affection for Snickers, and were good but kind of unserious until you hit about 30. At that time, you got married, became an evangelical Christian, and became a serious student of pitching (which not coincidentally made you a much better pitcher).

This would also make you Blurty McChatterson, a parent of four, a driver of trucks, a supporter of stem cell research in defiance of republican rhetoric (as the best avenue toward a cure for Lou Gehrig's Disease), a gamer-geek, a person with a very high pain-threshold, an aspiring future Senator, a sufferer of cold sores, and a millionaire probably 30 times over.

Lunch is on Theo!!

Well, it's true about the high pain threshold, anyway.

Get it right, lunch is on Theo Epstein. Sometimes I do a little aural double-take when the boring sports coverage is playing on the TV or radio and suddenly the name Theo comes up. Damnit, I thought I left that kind of problem behind when I chose my Buffista/LJ name!

Oh, and on top of the rest of what's said, you just took in a family that was stranded by Katrina, promising to pay their full expenses until they're back on their feet.

[theodosia.livejournal.com]

Ah! He's the one that did that thing.

I could have done worse in my choice of Sox, clearly!
