Ten years ago the Braves and Phillies clashed at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia with the premier pitching matchup of John Smoltz versus Chad Ogea. Phils prevailed 4-3 to bump their record to 53-44 under the guidance of manager Terry Francona.Phillies Lineup:1. Doug Glanville/CF2. Ron Gant/LF3. Bobby Abreu/RF4. Kevin Jordan/3B5. Rico Brogna/1B6. Marlon Anderson/2B7. Gary Bennett/C8. Alex Arias/SSPitchers- Chad Ogea, Steve Montgomery, Jim Poole, and Wayne Gomes. Seriously, Kevin Jordan was our cleanup hitter? Thank Buddha times have changed. For as bad a J-Roll is at times, just remember Alex Arias could be out there instead. From that group of players I really only have fond memories of Glanville and Abreu. By the way, Ogea pitched himself out of the majors that season with the Phils, finishing 6-12 with a 5.62 ERA and 1.51 WHIP...very Eaton-esque. Montgomery got the win, Gomes the save, and Abreu went 3-3 for 2 rbi.________________________________________________St. Louis Se...

Smoltz not throwing in towel

Via boston.com  |  July 23, 2009
After his last start, John Smoltz concluded he had pitched well, far better than his black-and-white results showed. The next day, despite the conviction his 21 years of experience allows, Smoltz asked himself, what if I’m wrong?

Big Trades In Braves History: Braves Lay the Foundation Of a Dynasty

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 25, 2009
The Trade: The Atlanta Braves send Doyle Alexander to the Detroit Tigers for John Smoltz During the 1987 season, the Atlanta Braves were easily out of contention, and decided to trade starting pitcher Doyle Alexander to the Detroit Tigers for a young starting pitcher named John Smoltz. The Tigers were in a heated division race, and needed to add an extra arm to battle the Toronto...

Time to move on from Fernando Tatis...

Via Mets Fever  |  July 22, 2009
Marlon Anderson was an incredible story in 2007, being claimed off waivers, he seemed to have a clutch hit every night and was one of the only leaders in a clubhouse that was falling apart. But he stayed for much too long, it seemed like the entire 2008 season and into 2009, his spot was held, hoping to see a glimpse of what he once was.The same could be said of Fernando Tatis; what...

Five Defining Deadline Deals By The Braves

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 24, 2009
John Smoltz from the Detroit Tigers for Doyle Alexander, August 12, 1987 Every Braves fan knows the story. The Braves got a 20-year-old Smoltz from the Tigers for the 36-year-old Alexander. Alexander went on to help Detroit win their division. He went 9-0 with a 1.53 ERA over the final month and a half of the season. Alexander's postseason numbers were not nearly as successful...

The Holy Players

Via Another Cubs Blog  |  July 24, 2009
They’re not much different than the Holy Writers. It seems to me that Holy Players and Holy Writers are nothing more than two sides of the same coin. They deserve each other, those who speak so forcefully as if they are better than the rest of us. Those who have the good senses to know that we’re all really the same and STFU at least don’t contribute to the Holy Pollution...

Angels Rumors: Betancourt, Abreu, 'Pen

Via MLB Trade Rumors  |  July 24, 2009
A few Angels rumors, from Bill Shaikin of the LA Times: The Angels tried to acquire Rafael Betancourt before the Indians dealt him to Colorado yesterday. Manager Mike Scioscia says he wants Bobby Abreu to return next year. The 35-year-old outfielder will become a free agent after the season. The Angels could add an ace pitcher, but adding a reliever seems more...

G91: Rangers homer their way to a 6-3 win over Red Sox

Via Ranger Fans  |  July 24, 2009
This game was (mildly) billed a faceoff of two old Atlanta Braves pitchers. Kevin Millwood, who was with them less (1997 - 2002), and John Smoltz, who was with them for a lot longer than that (1988 - 2008). Given Smoltz is in that tail end of his career time, and Millwood is not, you'd expect that Kevin would have the upper hand. He did, although not right away. The game...

Weekend In New England: Previewing The O's at The Red Sox

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 23, 2009
The start of the second half of the season has been anything but kind for the Baltimore Orioles. Having lost five of their last six games, the O's are now a season high 12 games under .500. The Boston Red Sox aren't enjoying the second half of the season either.  Also posting a 1-5 record to start the second half, the Red Sox offense has mustered just 13 runs in six games since...
