We had a discussion last week about Smoltz and whether he was through or not. Based on yesterday's performance, I'd say he's still kicking! 7 k's in a row? Wow! Very happy for him cause he's a great guy.

I guess getting back to the National League was all it took. Good for him!!!   He'll be a boost for the Cards, both as a 5th starter and a second pitching coach.

His next start will be against the Nationals. A good way to get re-acquainted with the NL. Being a STL fan, I hope this is a big boost for his confidence come October.

I wish him well.  Smoltz is a standup guy!

Agree with all previous posts, I guess his golf game will have to wait awhile. Now he just has to pitch like yesterday, a few more times. Hard not to be a fan of Smoltz!

He's already stated that he plans on playing the Senior Tour.

The Padres aren't exactly a good hitting team.

I agree with the fact the Padres are not a good hitting team, but he struck out 7 guys in a row! Once you get above Little League, that ain't easy!

by facing teams like the Padres and Nationals.
Let's see how he does when he faces MLB teams like he did in the AL.

So wonderful to live in San Diego and be a baseball fan.
