America’s least favorite overweight loud mouth, not named Rush Limbaugh, is thinking about pitching in 2009.   Schilling said this on ESPN radio:

But if Curt Schilling returns to pitch this season in the major leagues, a comeback likely could involve the American League-champion Tampa Bay Rays or Chicago Cubs.

 

“The challenge would be in a place like Tampa Bay or Chicago,” the free agent said Saturday in Orlando, Fla.

 

Schilling, who sat out the 2008 season after undergoing shoulder surgery, said he hasn’t made a decision on coming back.

 

Curt Schilling says there is a 20 percent chance that he will throw a pitch this season.

 

 

Schilling was in Florida attending ESPN The Weekend festivities at Walt Disney World.

 

“I’m hemming and hawing right now,” he said. “I’ll make a decision in the next couple of weeks.”

 

Schilling put the chances of his return at 20 percent Friday.

 

“I’m pretty sure I’m not going to, but I’m not positive,” he said, speaking to ESPN Radio’s Erik Kuselias on the “Tirico & Van Pelt” show. “I don’t have to make a decision yet, and I’m just not sure if I want to.”

 

Cubs general manager Jim Hendry wouldn’t specify whether his team would be interested in Schilling, but he sounded optimistic when discussing the prospect of the 20-year veteran’s return with the Chicago Tribune.

 

“We’ll always keep our eye on anybody we think can help us,” Hendry told the newspaper. “I have a lot of respect for him. Great pitcher. Great big-game pitcher.”

 

Schilling, who has a 216-146 career record, declined Friday to say exactly when he would announce his decision.

 

“I’ll figure it out when I need to figure it out,” he said.
