Maybe he can only start on the road

John Smoltz got his first win tonight. At first, I was excited that the Braves finally gave him some run support -- over his last 3 starts, he had a 2.11 ERA and had an 0-2 record to show for it.

But then I realized that the Braves' batters may not have known which pitcher they were doing this for -- 3 of Atlanta's 4 runs came before Smoltz even took the mound.

Maybe for John, others' ignorance is bliss.
