Smoltz to Miss Start Against Cubs

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

It appears as if the Cubs won't face John Smoltz on Sunday afterall.

 

Link.

 

Atlanta Braves veteran right-hander John Smoltz will miss his scheduled start Sunday against the Chicago Cubs...The Braves recalled pitcher Buddy Carlyle from Triple-A Richmond to start Sunday against the Cubs.

 

Also, the Braves put Cormier back on the DL.

Come on Cubs-you have to be favored tomorrow night now, and you're not that big of an underdog tonight. You have to go ahead and grab 1 of these 2 and take the season series from the Braves.

This is good because we don't have to face Smoltz. This is bad because we DO have to face a career AAAA guy, and you know what that means.

 

7 IP, 4H, 1 ER, something like that.

Awesome.

The Cubs man-handled Cormier twice so they can beat the Carlyle tomorrow too. BTW, he's pitched against PHI, MIL, and FLA this year so they should have some good scouting information too.

two series in a row? wow the braves must think we reAlly suck!
