WTB RedSox Players In Rivals' Forums

A blogger telling someone to "get off the computer" is a bit like the pot calling the kettle black. However, Bostonist would like to tell Curt Schilling, yes - Curt Schilling, to put down the keyboard and mouse and push away from the computer.

It was pretty rad that Schill showed up on the Sons of Sam Horn boards as the Sox were courting him. Even more cool is the fact that he allowed the SoSH members to help paint the rosy picture of Red Sox Nation at large, enough pleading that he was successfully wooed to Boston. The guy's probably the most intarweb-literate athlete in the world! After all, when he's not with the team (especially when he's on the road) he's leveling up in the virtual Everquest world, smiting orcs, casting spells, pwning n00bs, etc. He's previously stated that it was an ideal way to keep in touch with his kids back at home while he's on the road. Honestly, talking to your Dad in Everquest beats chit-chatting on the phone any time.

It looks like Evercrack has lost Curt's attention, though, enough that he's popping up in YANKEE forums to plead his and his teammates' cases - defending the Sox honor. One can't fault the guy, really, but when you're a world-class athlete stuck in the middle of the biggest rivalry in sports you're probably going to catch wind of some disparaging remarks about you, your name and probably yo mama somewhere along the line. Why waste the time in participating in the digital RedSox/Yankees war of attrition? What's the reason? So with that Bostonist, and the rest of "the Nation" pleads - Curt, dude, step away from "teh comput4r" and quit feeding into the vitriol from Camp Pinstripe.
