Blogs written by public figures too often have the plastic sheen of public relations all over them. True believers of the Web don't ask for a lot, but they do appreciate the unvarnished truth. Anything less reeks of insincerity about the medium. That's why Curt Schilling's personal blog is a welcome respite from the watered-down happy talk that permeates the blogs of many well-known folks. The veteran Red Sox pitcher offers his opinion and you get the sense that it's truly him tapping away at his laptop keyboard. Schilling started his blog two weeks ago and has already done six posts of reader Q & A's, sprinkled alongside thoughts about spring training and his pitch selection. With Opening Day creeping close, we had to make a pitch for you to read this blog. We know it's only gonna get better as the season heats up.
