Curt Schilling blows a lot of gas, but some of what he says here is spot on:
"Not to mention [West] often times acts like he'd rather be any place in the world other than the field.''
"... Part of the reason their games are slower is because [the Yanks' and Sox's] offenses are so deep, and so good. Hitters never give away at-bats. Every pitch matters, on both sides, for nine innings."
"The reason the games are slow is very clear, and one not many will print -- TV. Ad revenue has gotten to the point that TV is allowed to dictate pace of game, not the game itself."
