Although his first choice remains Boston, Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling said on his blog that he would consider a dozen other teams for a "last year" based on quality of life and a chance to make it back to the playoffs.
Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling is keeping busy this offseason: He wrote goodbye letters to some of his teammates, rode in the parade celebrating the team's second World Series title in four years, and filed for free agency on his first full day back in Boston.
Curt Schilling came to Boston four years ago with the lone goal of helping the Red Sox win the World Series. He might do it twice. In what could be his final start in a Boston uniform, Schilling held the Rockies to one run over 5 1-3 innings in Game 2 of the Series on Thursday night to lead the Red Sox to a 2-1 victory over Colorado and a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Manny Ramirez, in a blue sweat shirt and white do-rag, was laughing and giving teammates a thumbs-up. David Ortiz stood at first base in gray sweats, a red bandanna around his head, the sun glistening off an earring on his left lobe.
Before the bloody sock, Curt Schilling was a pitcher in ruin: Injured, ineffective, unsure whether he would be able to help the Boston Red Sox reach the World Series, much less win it.

Andy Pettitte and the New York Yankees kept their focus on the field, capping a busy day with a crisp victory over Boston. Pettitte pitched seven vigorous innings, Hideki Matsui homered off an ineffective Curt Schilling and New York beat the Red Sox 8-3 on Wednesday night.
The Minnesota Twins limped into Sunday's series finale with the Boston Red Sox struggling to field a healthy team and put a few runs on the board. Curt Schilling prolonged the offensive misery, and things only went downhill for Minnesota from there.
Daniel Cabrera limited the Boston Red Sox to one run before he walked off the mound in the seventh inning with the score tied, leaving the outcome to be decided by a Baltimore bullpen that during the offseason received a $42 million makeover. On this night, the Orioles didn't get their money's worth.
Curt Schilling is willing to mix in more pitches these days if it means he's able to throw fewer pitches overall. Relying less on his fastball and more on changing speeds and location, the Red Sox right-hander cruised through eight shutout innings on Saturday and led Boston to an 8-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
David Ortiz snapped out of his slump with his first two home runs and Curt Schilling bounced back from his horrendous debut. Still, Jonathan Papelbon had to save the day for Boston.
More than 41,000 fans got on their feet and gave Gil Meche a standing ovation. Very few of them would probably ever admit to being among the many critics who accused Kansas City of paying too much for the 28-year-old right-hander. The big deal paid off, for one outing at least.
Curt Schilling is done for the year. David Ortiz just keeps on slugging.
Martin Short, Susan Lucci, Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling and CNN host Nancy Grace are among the boldfaced names slated to compete on "Celebrity Jeopardy!" this fall.
Even when the Boston Red Sox get good news about their pitching, it's overshadowed by the bad news.

One of the major leagues' finest pitchers sent researchers scrambling through the archives Thursday night trying to figure out if anybody had ever allowed more extra-base hits in a game.

The Boston Red Sox approached the trade deadline with the idea that some minor tinkering might help them stay ahead of the New York Yankees for the rest of the season.
Trot Nixon should have a nice reprieve from the constant questions about his home run drought. Nixon ended a 123 at-bat homerless streak and Manny Ramirez homered for the second straight game to help Curt Schilling earn his 13th victory a night after teammate Josh Beckett became the majors' first 13-game winner, leading the Boston Red Sox past the Oakland Athletics 13-5 on Tuesday.
Curt Schilling allowed two hits and struck out nine in seven innings and David Ortiz snapped out of an RBI slump with his major league-leading 32nd homer and a two-run triple, leading the Boston Red Sox to a 7-0 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Saturday night.
Curt Schilling knows: There are a litany of people that deserve huge kudos for what just happened. From a personal standpoint it starts with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Congratulations to Terry Francona as well. In a city that features armchair QB'ing and media second guessing as legitimate paid professions, he stayed true to himself and true to us as players and managed his ass off. I still think he's the most underrated manager in baseball.
History of Game 7s in the League Championship Series.
With big offseason plans dancing in their heads, the Phillies will closely monitor how the Joe Torre saga plays out in New York.

All baseball for this entry in Schilling's blog, but for a regulation cheap shot at Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy
I usually defend Curt even when I disagree with him, and I usually agree with him when he trashes the media, but not in this case.
No politics this time, but lots of baseball and more internet gaming talk, which led to another round of media bashing:
Will one of you video gamers please translate this seed into English?
Mostly baseball, some gaming, but one political answer so far, on Stem Cell research.

Boston Red Sox starter Curt Schilling is headed to the disabled list because of soreness in his right shoulder, though an exam found no major damage.
First of two Schilling seeds today. I posted it to the politics category and tagged it to Bush and Iraq because starting at 19:34 of this segment the hosts start needling Schilling and themselves about Iraq.
He's sorry he criticized Barry Bonds on a radio interview, not necessarily because he doesn't believe his characterizations were wrong, it seems, (as he never says that in a lengthy, heart-felt apology) but because his words hurt other people.
Only 10 more to go...when will it happen?
Each weekday I spend a few hours reading 150-200 education articles from RSS feeds in Google Reader (well, I throw in FireJoeMorgan, Curt Schilling's 38Pitches and Mark Cuban, too). I tag some of the better articles to my del.icio.us and bookmark others I'd like to write about.
Red Sox primo pitchman Curt Schilling would rather test his arm in the playoffs in October, but if he can't, he's ready to strain his brain on "Jeopardy!" Schil has been invited by Alex Trebek & Company to provide answers in the form of a question on a special "Cel …
Major League Baseball and MMO Gaming come together in this fund-raising event for ALS.
