		<description><![CDATA[Curt, I just want to say thanks for bringing so much attention to ALS. No matter if you come back next year or not, I think what you do as a result of having a podium are fantastic. My sister is in her last stages of this horrible disease and for those who want to critize any attention given to it is a good thing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yankees fan here and I donate to the Jimmy Fund every year....have since college.  Curt, you might want to thank everyone who donates, not just Sox fans.  There are a lot of people out of the Boston area that know what the JF is about and donate.  I went to school in the NE and have supported it ever since....been about ten years now....time flies...haha]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Curt, 

 You&#039;re a class act and do the right thing. I&#039;d like you to come back to the Red Sox for another year, but if health dictates otherwise, then so be it. 

Do you plan on staying in the area when all is said and done? Because I think it shows class when people like you and Ray Bourque stay.

		<description><![CDATA[First off, you are just as much a &quot;from here&quot; kind of person as someone like myself that was born and raised here.  You are forever ingrained in the culture that is Boston - and Red Sox Nation.

And yes -- us New England types do kick butt with genorousity.
It also doesn&#039;t hurt that the ball team leads by example; it&#039;s no secret that the Sox organization is by far the most generous ball club with regards to financial contributions - and most importantly - emotional contributions that are made on a regular basis.

		<description><![CDATA[Curt,
          You have done as much as anyone can be expected to. I wish I had the courage to give so much of myself. I hope you are proud of yourself. 
          I hope, for so many reasons, that you will play again next year. I would love to be able to bring my two boys to Fenway just one more time to see you pitch. You really define what a great pitcher is, the old school way. 
          Yes, you will ask for whatever you get get in the way of salary. Our Lord knows that you have earned it. Baseball NEEDS you to pitch for the Red Sox next year. Not just for the fans, but the young Red Sox pitchers NEED you to be there for them. 
          I know I do not want to remember your last year as one of such a great baseball icon being on the disabled list. I am not sure if that seems selfish, but we love you, Curt, and we certainly know that having you back next year would do wonders for the Red Sox, the fans, and especially the pitching staff. Baseball will be better with you in it, not watching, and wondering. 
          Curt, PLEASE pitch for another year. And PLEASE pitch for the Red Sox. My boys are 15 and 13. I really would love to see you again next year, and my boys will never forget. This is a sentiment which all of RSN echos. Retirement can wait just ONE more year, you will not regret it. 
          If you should retire, Best of luck, we will surely miss you.

		<description><![CDATA[Greetings Mr. Schilling,

I know this may not be the appropriate medium, nor the appropriate post to mention this on, but I am willing to take what I can get right now.

I just applied to your company - 38 Studios - and I would appreciate your personal attention to my application.  I think my cover letter speaks clearly about just how exciting an opportunity it would be to work for 38 Studios and for you.  Your philanthropic endeavors are a source of significant gravity in consider what company I work for and I commend you on the work you do each year along with WEEI, SOSH, and the Jimmy Fund.

I can be reached at joseph.schipani@gmail.com if you do not have access to the internal job applications listing.

I assure you, your time will be well spent in reading my brief application.

Lastly, my apologies to the folks on here for using this as a means to speak with Mr. Schilling.  I assure you I&#039;d save myself the embarrassment of posting the publicly if he were an easier man to get in touch with.

Many thanks for your warm heart and your strong consideration,

Joe Schipani]]></description>
