Since leaving the Red Sox, John Smoltz has pitched effectively in 3 games. Today, ironically, he had trouble overcoming a Julio Lugo error in a loss, but at least he didn't get battered like when he was in Boston. Also pitching well since leaving, Brad Penny. As Bob Lobel would say, "Why can't we get guys like that?" Indirectly related, sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who remembers Bob Lobel suing the "Get Fuzzy" comic for implying he was drunk on the air.
