John Smoltz - playing for the Red Sox?!

Weren't those the days? And what offense we had too. I'm not going to lie, I was always a bigtime Prime Time fan. Deion Sanders was a great football player, baseball player and musician (YouTube 'Must Be The Money' for reference). But I too was disappointed by the Maddux retirement. For such a great pitcher, his departure didn't get much fanfare. It would have been pretty great to see Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz all pitch for the Braves this year. Seemed like it was a pretty simple deal, and now it looks like we might not even have any of them.

Smoltzie had a rough outing against the hapless Nationals.

Hopefully just a little rust. Go get them, JS!!!

He was most excellent after the first inning.

I agree, take away that inning and he had a fine line score striking out the side in the fifth I thnk.

After all those years of the Braves dominating my beloved mets...I am smiling as Smoltz gets ROCKED!!!
