Schilling Hints At Retirement In Latest Blog
18th August, 2008 - 6:31 pm
ESPN - Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling hinted about retirement in a recent blog post on his website, according to ESPN.com.

"My first thoughts a few weeks ago were that maybe I'd work to get healthy and shoot to try and make the WBC team, but I just don't think that's in the cards," Schilling wrote. "Next I started thinking about the original plan of pitching the second half of next season."

Schilling claims that his right biceps tendon and labrum, which were operated on in June, are getting better, though.

"Thing is, that urgency just is not there," he continued. "I miss some things I didn't think I would and don't miss many things I expected too.

"As I stated yesterday [Thursday] the pendulum is swinging very heavily in the direction of it just being over. I've never sat around and not gotten ready to head to Florida, well not in 23 or so years anyway, so to me that will likely be the last real test for me and whether or not I want to put the time and effort into getting after it one more time."
