The 41-year-old Boston Red Sox right-hander said Friday on radio station WEEI he will have shoulder surgery next week.
"My season is over and there is a pretty decent chance I have thrown my last pitch forever," he said.
Schilling's physician, Dr. Craig Morgan, confirmed to The Associated Press the surgery will be done Monday in Wilmington, Del.
"If you use a scale of 1-10 and 10 is pitching in the big leagues, I'm at about 3 right now," Schilling said.
He added: "I'm going in to make it not hurt anymore."

| Curt Schilling, a pretty good pitcher, but also a man who screams out his own name during intimate moments with Mrs. Schilling. |

"Perhaps the worst thing that can happen is to reach into the refrigerator and come out with something that you cannot identify at all. You literally do not know what it is. Could be meat, could be cake. Usually, at a time like that, I'll bluff. "Honey, is this good?" "Well, what is it?" "I don't know. I've never seen anything like it. It looks like...meatcake!" "Well, smell it." (snort, sniff) "It has absolutely no smell whatsoever!" "It's good! Put it back! Somebody is saving it. It'll turn up in something." Thats what frightens me. That someone will consider it a challenge and use it just because it's in there." -- George Carlin |

Schilling was outspoken and bold. I never saw him as an arrogant type. If he was, he had a reason to be.
The blood spot on the sock and pitching through it will always be a Chilling Schilling moment in time. |

Personally, I enjoyed watching him help Arizona knock out the Yankees a few years earlier as well.
No bloody sock, but he had two stellar starts that should have both been wins for the D-Backs, if Byung-Hyun Kim (which, oddly enough, is Korean for "gas can") hadn't gacked away Game Four.
Schilling's good copy, too. No doubt about it. And he's done his part to raise a lot of money to fight ALS. But he also doesn't always have a stellar reputation in terms of interpersonal relationships. |

Luckily for Schill he has a second career as The Man Who Knows Everything to fall back on. |
