Smoltz is done

He will have season-ending (and possibly career-ending) shoulder surgery. This is a tough break: I like and respect Smoltz a ton, he is an awesome pitcher and seems to be a nice guy. This is certainly a huge blow to the Braves, especially with the usefulness of Hampton uncertain.

All I know is, the Mets need to pick up Teix in the offseason, assuming Los bravos don't trade him this year.

Not-so-Chipper Jones says:

"Not having him at all for the rest of the season is devastating, flat out devastating," third baseman Chipper Jones said. "Going into this season, I said there's one guy on this club we cannot do without. That's John Smoltz."
