On his blog (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.38pitches.com\">38pitches.com<\/a>), Schilling indicates that he suggested the weigh-in clauses, which will apparently require that he step on the scale a total of six times during the course of the season (or pre-season?).  I can only imagine the ramifications if such clauses became prevalent in other professions: &#8220;Ricky, you deliver a mean newspaper and no one&#8211;and I mean NO one&#8211;can take that away from you.  It&#8217;s just that, well, we&#8217;re going for a sleak corporate image and your bikeseat has been showing signs of extra wear.  Drop ten or I&#8217;ll have to dock you twenty.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most fans expect more out of their beloved athletes than they can deliver in their own lives.  I wonder how many die-hard Red Sox, in the name of <em>truly<\/em> supporting one of the most impactful players in Boston history, would be willing to set a weight-loss target of their own.  We&#8217;d be willing to publish the &#8220;before&#8221; pictures on this website, and provide updates along the way.
