    Any one else think the ump was being a little more leniant with the strike zone for Smoltz than is with Roger?

    no, Roger intenionally misses the strike zone... he doesn't mind going 3-2 on guys one bit.

    Yeah, but I seem to think that no matter who is pitching against us. I think that's just us being homers. :)

    Haven't seen anything that blatant yet... Roger has been all over the place, but they can't make contact.

    Effectively Wild!

    Nice. 3 up, 3 down. And only a few pitches thrown at that.

    Make Smoltz work we want to get to the Braves Bullpen early. Ausmus should be hitting in front of Everett. :)

    i'm just talking about watching the first two and then swinging away when you're about to get owned with a slider (happy Svpernaut :) ). most of the people that swing and miss on lidge's slider also swung and missed on strike one and strike two.
