before the sox embarass him and designate his useless bag of bones for assigment

To the glue factory with that one.

i gave him 5 games. he's done. sad really.

bye bye bye

That's awful.

Seriously. He needs to hang it up, so he can go play golf with his boy Glavine. Failed experiment.

Smoltz was the absolute man for almost his entire career, and one of my all time favorites. Sucks to see him go out like this.

oh how the mighty have fallen....he is most likely a HOFer...but he doesn't have it anymore

Good, now the sox might start winning again. This guy sucked for the Sox. Great career though.

i wish smoltzy could've had a better end to his career. he was one of the greats.

Man I don't know if you were joking or what buy smoltz was designated for assignment and so was that chump that pitched after him. They called up tazawa..awesome

Really? I would have figured they'd call up Bowden before Tazawa. This could be interesting. Tazawa has been solid even with this being his first year in the American minor leagues.

I feel bad for him because I think he really wanted to make a difference but he's struggled so much, it's time to let go. Maybe if they kept him in the bullpen or something he could have done something. I don't think he's physically or mentally capable of handling a 6+ inning start in the AL.

It really is about time. Sometimes you just have to realize your time is up. Hes needs to bow out, go play golf with tiger woods, open a car dealership and relax until death.

bullpen is not an option for 2 reason. 1 he hasnt been effective and you cant have him a non effective pitcher out of the pen because you gonna have to drop a bullpen pithcer and the sox pen has been really good this year 2 his only role would be long relief and do you think thats a good idea

great game too

cant beat a 0-0 game...naibiter
