Schilling apologizes to Bonds »
May 9, 2007
Terry Francona, appearing as a guest on WEEI's Dale and Holley show (with Greg Dickerson filling in for Dale Arnold) today expressed his annoyance with the way Curt Schilling blasted Barry Bonds yesterday on the same radio station.
"For a guy who doesn't talk much to the media, he sure does talk to the media," Francona said. Schilling yesterday said fans should not embrace Bonds' pursuit of Hank Aaron's home run record because, he said, Bonds had cheated on steroids, on his wife and on his taxes.
Here's more of what Francona said when asked about Schilling's comments by Michael Holley:
"I talked to Schill yesterday about it. He's never been short on opinions, and so many of them are insightful. I just thought that this was an area where you're better off just leaving it alone, and he didn't. And the problem is, it makes it tough for me, because then he comes to the ballpark and doesn't talk to the media, so I'm left to kind of clean up the mess, which I really don't feel like. But again, I've been with Schill a long time (in Boston and in Philadelphia), nobody's more crazy about Schill than me. I just kind of asked him to zip it a little bit, which I think he will."
