I feel so . . . dirty

For the first time in nearly eight years I've done something that I haven't done, and that's root for the Atlanta Braves. You see, last week I traded for John Smoltz for my fantasy team, and he was on the hill tonight.

In the end it was probably the best result I could have hoped for. Smoltz pitched seven innings, giving up six hits, one walk, three runs and eight strikeouts. He took the loss, but we don't count losses in my league. The Nats won and Chad Cordero got the save, and at this point I need saves slightly more than wins. So, all in all a good night as the Braves move a bit closer to the Nationals and even further away from the Mets.
