More from last nights classic

That game was the longest a Yankees/Red Sox game has gone being scoreless. Junichi Tazawa was making his major league debut replacing Hall Of Famer John Smoltz on the roster. A-rod ended his longest single season homerun drought with his walkoff in the 15th at 72 at bats. You knew...
 

Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees

The Yankees will try and beat the Red Sox for the first time this season and tonight may be their best chance. Joba is flying high pitching the best he has in his career as a starter and John Smoltz looks old and washed up. I think this is the most important game of the series as the...
 

Smoltzed Again

John Smoltz avoided the "one bad inning" syndrome by sucking in all five he pitched today. Is there really anyone left out there that thinks this guy can pitch in the majors, let alone the AL East? He is getting lit up by teams like Washington, Oakland and Baltimore. I sure...

John Smoltz – GOOD RIDENCE AND SEE YA LATER!

Picimg_mlb_apr_10_d981
At first glance I thought the signing of John Smoltz, by the Boston Red Sox was a great idea.  GOOD RIDENCE AND SEE YA LATER!  That’s what I’m saying now!  I honestly thought Smoltz was going to be a great fit a Boston uniform.  As he was the jack of all trades in terms of [...]

Smoltz Allegedly Likes The Color Red

Time To Pass The Torch

I'm calling the Great John Smoltz Experiment a failure. The guy has managed just one win while compiling a 6.31 ERA. Would have been a nice story, but "Smoltzie" is starting to be a bullpen killer. I always though he looked a bit like James Taylor...now he's starting...

Mr. Smoltz, There's Some Writing On this Wall We'd Like You To Read

The Braves in the 1990s were the greatest near-dynasty of all time. The Braves won their division 14-straight times over a 15-year span (1994 was washed out because of the strike), winning five NL pennants and one World Series in the process. Had the Braves taken two or three of those...
