Curt Schilling is appalled ESPN would remove Game 6 from its documentary "Four Days in October."

On Sunday, the network re-aired the film that was released in 2010, which highlights Boston's triumphant 2004 ALCS victory against the New York Yankees after going down 0-3 to start the series.

The only problem is this time around, ESPN - who recently fired Schilling - left out Game 6, which is known as the game Schilling pitched with the bloody sock.

The six-time all-star noticed, and went on a Twitter tirade against his former employer.

ESPN released a statement on Sunday night, saying the edit had nothing to do with Schilling's history with the company, and that it's "standard procedure to shorten" their films.

“When a live event runs long, it's standard procedure to shorten a taped program that follows. In this case, we needed to edit out one of the film's four segments to account for the extra length of the softball game.”
