Schilling issues $1,000,000 challenge over bloody sock

Baltimore Orioles TV announcer Gary Thorne has questioned whether Curt Schilling actually had his blood on his sock the night he defeated the Bronx Bums in the 2004 ALCS Playoffs. That anyone would question this -- especially at this point -- is crazy.
But even crazier -- Schilling has offered $1,000,000 to charity if Thorne or anyone else can prove it wasn't his blood. (Read it at Schilling's blog.)
We want to see Thorne try -- and lose.

There's no stopping the Giants

OK, we admit it. Before the season we didn't have much hope for the Giants. Or Barry Bonds, for that matter.
But all of a sudden, things have turned around. The Dodgers came into AT&T and humiliated the G's and the G's returned the favor.
The G's are playing great. They've won eight in a row. They just grabbed first place from the Dodgers.
And it looks like it's not a fluke. This team has a swagger it didn't have last year.
Anyone for nine in a row?

What is he thinking?

Just when you thought the BALCO story couldn't get any weirder, take a look at http://www.snac.com/. It includes a reprint of the Muscle and Fitness interview with Barry Bonds, plus video of Barry at the ballpark and a recent interview with Victor Conte at his office in Burlingame.
It's the story that won't go away.
