Random blocks: Curt Schilling? Was Mao a Yankees fan?

March 23rd, 2007 · 3 Comments

One more on this subject and then I’ll stop. I think. But for the love of Pedro, China is blocking the blog of Curt Schilling, RHP for the Boston Red Sox. Seriously.

Was Mao a Yankees fan? (On a certain level, that would make sense.) Or is this all part of the deal Brian Cashman made with CCP sports officials on his recent trip to the Middle Kingdom?

For Beijing-based Bosox fans…you can read Schilling’s rants here.

    That’s nothing. I hear in political study sessions, everyone has to write speeches mocking Bill Buckner.

    I’ve often been amazed at what is deemed “necessary” to block. I mean, a weather website? I just want to know what kind of clothes to wear today!
