It's not like he has anything else to do this October.

Does he have a box of tissues nearby in case the Royals miss the playoffs again?

I wonder if he takes it personal when OOTP Perez doesn't do well? How could he not?
Cool that he plays though. Very cool.

Here are a couple of ideas for the OOTP marketing department: Someone should survey the MLBPA and see how many players actually play OOTP. They could use that info as a selling point for OOTP 18 and future versions. Then, they should invite those players to join the OOTP forums and do interviews with them.

Curt Schilling might not be the best representative there.

Stop it. Seriously. We don't need to bash Curt because of the way he promotes his politics.

No, I agree with my esteemed colleague from Amherst. There are celebrities whose very "brand name" and "image" is toxic to large numbers of potential customers, and a tie-in with polarizing people can suppress market share.

Just because Schilling is a regular contributor to these boards doesn't mean we can't reference his non-OOTP activities, and how that could potentially impact the game that we all (including Curt himself) love. Curt's a big boy. He knows how his political opponents feel about him.

Yeah, I agree too, but calling out Curt was uncalled for. I disagree with his the way he defends his arguments, but he's a man with an opinion, as we all are.
