However, I was one of the bitter fans rooting for him to fall on his face in Boston (mostly because I hate the sawx), but I truly felt bad for ever rooting against him after seeing him post game last night. Was really sad to see.

I think it was that fact that he had only 2 swing and misses of his pitches yesterday. Kind of a sad thing to see happen to a great player and a great guy.

He can't get loose often enough (or fast enough) to be a reliever. There was talk a while ago about that, but I guess warming him up takes longer than your average reliever would, and he couldn't pitch any more often than every third game, so there wasn't much bullpen value for him.
I will choose to forget about this year, and think back to his illustrious Braves career. I think it's for the best.

Why couldn`t Smoltz, Maddux and Glavine all three signed one day contracts with Atlanta and all retired AT THE SAME TIME together!? That way all three could have entered Cooperstown in the same class. That would have been very special to see. Instead we have got to see three dudes all hang on too long and struggle. Sad. For me anyway.

Maddux & Glavine didn't really struggle in their (what looks to be final year). Glavine got hurt and went down for the season. Before that, he was 13-8, with a 4ish ERA and over 200 innings. Maddux had a losing record, but also had a 4ish ERA and pitched close to 200 innings. Not the standard years from either when compared to their glory years, but hardly struggling. In fact, they were still better than 70% of the guys slinging the ball.

I hated Wren when he did it, but not resigning Smoltz was in the Braves best interest.

John Smoltz just showed how much he sucks now. Maybe he'll get better, but I doubt it. He's old, he's past his prime. Boo hoo Red Sox, that's what you get for signing him in the first place.
