Sox fans: Check out Curt Schilling's garage sale!
Sorry, the bloody sock has already been sold. 
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/curt-schilling-estate-sale-features-strange-look-former-162435029--mlb.html
With his financial life in disrepair, Curt Schilling is holding the mother of all estate sales this Saturday at his family's home in Medfield, Mass.
The former Boston Red Sox pitcher is currently being sued by Rhode Island's economic development agency after 38 Studios, his startup video game company, collapsed into bankruptcy in 2011. The state had approved a $75 million loan in 2010 to get Schilling's company to move to Rhode Island.
Schilling, who now works for ESPN as an analyst, said he personally lost $50 million of his own career earnings on the failed venture. He made $114 million in salary over the course of his 19-year career, which ended with the Red Sox in 2008, but has said his family is preparing for a "very different life" after 38 Studios went under.
That much is clear after looking at the Consignworks Inc. website that features over 150 pictures of the items that are up for sale (slideshow here). As the AP writes, among the items listed are "sofas, porch rockers, candlesticks, a baby grand piano, a punching bag, a Hummer golf cart, a baseball glove chair and a vintage Coca-Cola vending machine."

As it turned out, he was as good a businessman as Bush was as decider-in-chief. How humiliating it must be for an "I've got mine" teabagger to lose everything -- down to his junk drawers:
A pile of chargers, a lock, an outdated camera and some playing cards: Hey pal, we already all have full junk drawers at our own homes.
