If Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, a free agent at the close of this season, signs with an American League team, Blue Jays catcher Gregg Zaun may want to invest in some extra helmet padding. Especially if Schilling has any friends in Canada who might have heard Zaun covering the ALCS broadcast for Rogers Sportsnet, where he offered his candid opinions on the future Hall-of-Famer.
[Zaun] told viewers that Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling "never met a microphone or camera that he didn't like." When host Jamie Campbell, who does a great job of teeing up questions for Zaun, asked him if Schilling were beatable, Zaun said he was. He then chronicled how age had robbed Schilling of his skills.
Those were brave words from someone who may face a high hard one from Schilling next season.
Brave, indeed. But, honestly, I'm more intrigued by the fact that Canadian audiences get to enjoy a Tim McCarver-free broadcast. Shouldn't we all have to suffer together?

Oh no, we still get Tim McCarver in game. We just get Zaun and Campbell in studio before and after games. Don't worry, their coverage is nothing to write home about either.
