In case you missed it, John Smoltz was designated for assignment last week by the Red Sox. Damn. Even thought he marriage saw a rocky breakup in the end, Smoltz has always been one of my personal favorites, and I wished him the best in Beantown. With this move, and Tom Glavine not pitching for anyone this season, it looks like Atlanta GM Frank Wren deserves some credit for knowing when to say when.
Despite being only 4.5 games back in the division, and 3 games back in the Wildcard, the Braves are getting no love and seem to be flying under the radar. Here at The Sports Idiot we have told you not to overlook the Bravos before, and perhaps it is time to do so again. Do not look now, but the Braves are suddenly 59 – 54 on the season, and riding a 4 game winning streak.
Like the Phillies did this week, the Braves will have to make a rotation decision before too long, as Tim Hudson will be making his next rehab start on Thursday.
