Big game Curt signed a one year 8 million dollar contract with THE SAWKS that with all incentives could reach as much as 13 million. The incentives are based on innings pitched with the max bonus at 200 and an additional weight clause that Schilling himself added as a motivater.
With this signing THE SAWKS brass has once again shown they aren't afraid to let the money fly to improve the team.
Since acquiring Schilling from the D-backs in Nov. 2003 THE SAWKS have gone on to win two championships. Dispatching of the evil empire that is the Yankees in 2004 in the greatest comeback in baseball history. After which making light work of the Cards to win thier first title in 86 years. And then again in 2007 making easy work of quite possibly the hottest team in baseball history the Colorado Rockies who going into the series had won 22 of 23.
Which begs the question is Mr. Schilling the missing link to the puzzle that was the Curse of the Bambino?
