Schill a scammer?

Gary Thorne, the play-by-play announcer for the Baltimore Orioles, said on the air last night that the blood seeping through Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling's right sock during Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS against the New York Yankees was, according to Boston catcher Doug Mirabelli, actually red paint.

The Red Sox, from management down, are in an uproar about the comments -- especially Mirabelli, who denies ever having such a conversation with Thorne. However, as we've come to know Schilling better in the past couple of years, I'd guess that many people are thinking that there might be some truth to this. I actually met Thorne at the 2005 Little League World Series and, for what it's worth, he seemed like a good guy.
