Curt Schilling is a polarizing figure.

Some love him, some hate him and many wish he'd just shut his yap.

The point is, he's been called a lot of names, but certainly not a Yankee fan.

But Martha Coakley, a Massachusetts Democratic candidate for the Senate, referred to former Red Sox Curt Schilling as just that in a radio interview.

Schilling is backing Coakley's competition, Scott Brown. He loves the politik, as you might recall.

The bloody-sock enthusiast pointed out the ridiculousness over on his blog.

"I've been called a lot of things", he pens.  "But never, and I mean never, could anyone ever make the mistake of calling me a Yankee fan. Well, check that, if you didn't know what the hell is going on in your own state, maybe you could."

Zing.
