John Smoltz

SPORTING GOODS

This morning's WEEI interview with the 42-year-old-future-Hall-of-Famer can be found here. I happened to have heard it, and it's a pretty impressive performance: Smoltz is among the most quietly confident people I've ever heard in my life. (E.g., he fully expects to join the Senior Golf Tour when he turns fifty.)

At any rate, it'll be interesting to see what he's got (left) tomorrow night when he takes on the Nationals. Those of us in Red Sox nation are sure he'll have more in the tank than Dice-K, but that certainly isn't saying much.
