Schilling in Context

One nice thing about having a blog is that you can put published quotes in context:

Yep, I said it. The quotes were all exact that I can remember, it's just that the context and the full conversations of the interview(s) somehow didn't come through, or make print.

The other morning on the radio the topic of next year was brought up, and I am not sure by whom but I was asked about it.

During that conversation, and in the two that followed, my response started the exact same way which was "Well obviously Boston is my first choice, this is where I'd like to be, but if that doesn't work out then yes I have given thought to the other scenarios and possibilities."

For some reason that seems to have been omitted from what's gotten into print. Obviously putting that in the article pretty much makes it a non-article doesn't it?

Schilling goes on to discuss how he expects the process to go, and he doesn't seem to harbor any illusions about himself:

I'm going to be a 41 year old free agent, and right now I am not pitching even remotely close to as good as I can, or should be. That is probably the most important part of the equation no matter what our choices may end up being. Going on the DL to basically relearn all there is to know about keeping my shoulder strong over the next 14-16 months certainly will raise questions with any team outside of Boston that might be interested, so I'll have to answer those them as well.
