Curt Schilling

So, in my mind, I've been comparing 2004 to 2006.

As a Cardinals fan and a Democrat, the years were quite different.

In 2004, the Cardinals lost the World Series to the Red Sox. A big part of it was Curt Schilling and his damn bloody sock. Curt Schilling, who I never really liked, became one of my least favorite players.

But the next week, he cemented his status as my absolute least favorite player in baseball by campaigning with George W. Bush in his re-election campaign. I think you all know what happened in that campaign.

2004 was not so good for me. But lets look at 2006.

First, the Cardinals win the World Series. The Red Sox? Not even in the playoffs.

Second, the Democrats win control of Congress.

But here's the icing on the cake.... Today I watched Celebrity Jeopardy and Curt Schilling was a contestant. Final Score?

Doug Savant - $18,200
Jane Kaczmarek - $5,600
Curt Schilling - $0

Ah. How refreshing. Curt Schilling might actually be as dumb as he seems to be.
