April 5, 200618 yr Just like he started out last year. They still finished pretty good if I recall, their bullpen is what they needed to work on most.
April 5, 200618 yr If Mazzone was there the result would be no different. What is Mazzone going to tell Smoltz at this point in his career? The Braves will be there in September as always. P.S It's game 2.
April 5, 200618 yr LMAO!!!!! ^Â opening day was ugly, they barely won that, if they want to get off to a better start they need to control the pitching a little beter. they can still hit though
April 5, 200618 yr Aside from the Smoltz experiment, the Braves haven't had a great closer in the last 10 years and yet they find ways to keep winning.

April 6, 200618 yr Author Yeah well, same for the Dodgers. They just blew a 5 run lead.  Pssh, but I made my comment before the Dodger's pitcher blew up.
April 6, 200618 yr Eight runs surrendered by Atlanta so far with the bases loaded and two outs, LA batting in the 7th. Shootout from Dodger Stadium
April 6, 200618 yr Atlanta is just teasing you. They want to get our hopes up that they finally won't win the division, but don't worry, they'll find a way to win. The Lord of Darkness will make it so.

They always find a guy for a seaon or two and then move on to the next guy.
April 20, 200618 yr For those keeping score at home...Smoltz and Hudson's last two outings:Â Smoltz: 9 IP, 4 H, 0 ER Hudson: 9 IP, 3 H, 1 ER
April 20, 200618 yr Hudson's outing was real good yesterday against a potent Met's lineup. As much as I hate Atlanta it's good to see Huddy get back on track.
