2008-06-05 12:11:00
Put away those rockin’ chairs. Hold off on that retirement party. John Smoltz isn’t ready to walk away from the mound just yet. Sure, the 41-year-old pitcher is headed for season-ending surgery, and there’s little precedent for someone his age to return from such a major operation. But Smoltz has defied the odds before, and ...

John Smoltz makes history.
2008-04-24 02:44:00
Last night I got to witness a piece of baseball history as John Smoltz racked up his 3000th strikeout. Now, to put this into perspective, there are only 15 other pitchers to ever accomplish this feat. I have to tell you whether you like the braves or not, you have to tip you hat to this man because he is truly an ambassador to the game of baseball. I have added a video and the new list of the top 16 to achieve this. Rank - PlayerTotalYears 1. Nolan Ryan 5,71427 2. Roger Clemens4,67224 3. Randy Johnson4,62920 4. Steve Carlton4,13624 5.

John Smoltz Is Now on the Way to the HOF!
2008-04-23 06:54:00
TUESDAY, APRIL 22John Smoltz has become only the 16th pitcher in Major League history to strike out 3000 batters.  He’s now Hall of Fame bound, probably on a first ballot no less. I was wondering if something like this wasn’t going to happen.  Robert Downey, Jr. has now ruined his career.  He has “outed” himself as a …. Oh dear….

John Smoltz Has Had Some Hard Luck In 2007
2007-09-13 03:17:00
I wanted to share a stat with you that they just spoke about during the Mets/Braves game on FSN South. In 29 starts this season, John Smoltz has allowed 3 of fewer earned runs 26 times. That’s pretty darned good. He should be approaching 20 wins with that statistic, but due to very poor run support from the Braves while Smoltz pitches, he has only 13 wins.
Old Men River [J. Mark English]
2007-06-28 00:10:00
New York City was just hit with a blitz of rain showers, that caused rivers in the local areas to overflow. Which reminds me of the song "Old Man River" from the Broadway show, Showboat. The song was flowing through my head, and then it hit me that its very appropriate that rivers should be over filled tonight. After all there are a lucky seven old men taking the mound tonight in Major League Baseball. From ESPN:It was expected to be old-timers' day in the major leagues on Wednesday, when a record seven pitchers in their 40s were scheduled to start. Until Mother Nature interfered.The New York Yankees' Roger Clemens (44), Philadelphia's Jamie Moyer (44), San Diego's Greg Maddux (41), the New York Mets' Tom Glavine (41), Houston's Woody Williams (40) and Atlanta's John Smoltz (40) are set to pitch on the same day.Kenny Rogers (42) was scheduled to start for Detroit, but the Tigers' home game against the Texas Rangers was postponed because of rain.The record of six was set la...

More bad news for Michael Vick...this is from ESPN: Police conducting a drug investigation raided a Virginia house owned by Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick and found dozens of dogs, some injured and emaciated, as well as items associated with dog fighting, authorities said. State Police Sgt. D.S. Carr said Vick's relative, Davon Boddie, 26, lives in the house. Vick owns the property, but does not live there and was not present when a search warrant was executed in a drug investigation Wednesday night, Carr said.John Czarnecki breaks down the worst and best draft picks in the NFL over the years.The Kansas City Chiefs deny that they are trying to trade Larry Johnson.

Braves Extend John Smoltz
2007-04-27 03:48:00
John Schuerholz, the Braves' "homeboy upstairs," came through with a contract extension for ace pitcher John Smoltz today.  A March report questioned whether Smoltz would remain a Brave, and the pitcher publicly considered moving on from the Braves last August.  But now he'll finish his career with Atlanta, which just feels right. Basically Smoltz is guaranteed a fair-market $14MM next year, with additional options based on innings pitched.  He said in the past he wouldn't sign any more team-friendly deals, but this one does lean towards the Braves.  They're only obligated to him if he stays healthy and makes 30+ starts.  He probably could've gotten two years guaranteed on the open market despite his age. Smoltz seems a lock for the Hall of Fame, as he'll have 200+ wins and 154 saves to his name. There's one less free agent starter to be had; check out the updated list here.
