Why are you shocked at this? He clearly wasn't happy playing in Boston, let alone for an A.L. team...I think the Red Sox had heaped too much in the way of lofty expectations on Smoltz (a local guy from my hometown, btw), and now he's back in the N.L. and playing with the St. Louis Cardinals, where I believe he will flourish in his late career. I mean you mentioned the 9 K's in 5 innings, but that doesn't even include sitting down 7 in a row to set a Cardinals record for most consecutive K's. I believe he will prove to all the doubters out there that he can still be DAMNED GOOD in any pitching situation, whether starting, short, middle, or long relief, as an 8th inning-er, or as a closer. But I suppose we will all find out in the final month or so.
