Remember when Smoltzie was mic'd up last week? Reader LizzieBeth was kind enough to send over these screencaps and dialogue for all you Smoltzie fans. Thanks!
JS: You think I can get a date in these things?
Heap: Yeah, well, you can get a date without 'em.
JS: But I mean with these things...
Heap: Might...help your chances...
JS (while laughing): Or, or are they going to think it's the fake nose, mustache and glasses?
I'm pretty sure that's his real moustache. :D

Did anyone else catch the portion where Smoltz was talking to … one of the Latin players, I don't remember who now.
Anyway he asked Smoltz a question in Spanish and Smoltz's answer was something totally off-base and irrelevant. The broadcasters laughed after translating the question..it was quite the spectacle..

There were a couple of those segments — in one they asked Smoltzie how old he was (cuántos años tienen?), and he started talking about Joe & Jon. I'm pretty sure he knew what they were asking and just hammed it up for the camera.
I do hope he transitions into a broadcasting career when he retires. Nice voice, very knowledgeable, etc.

I hope he does, too, for all the reasons you mentioned, but I also think he just really likes being around the team, even though his shoulder may not allow him to do that as a player for much longer. :( Was it last year that he did some post-season stuff for TBS?
By Lauren T. May 19, 2008 - 7:28 pm
Yep, that was last season. I loved him on TV. He explains things so everyone can understand, and he doesn't make inane jabber like Chip nor have a chipmunk voice like Tony Gwynn (who was a great, great player, but doesn't need to be behind the mic).

apparently this is the week for dirty thoughts…
"I'm in good hands…" really Lauren? Did you not think someone (read: me) would go there with the inappropriate thoughts that can't be typed? ;)
*sigh* I really like the way he looks in that shade of blue…

As the old saying goes, "I don't write the news; I just report it."

Ha ha, I admit that I did, too, CA! ;)
CarolinaLive.com has a video of the interview up.

Greetings from Tiger, GA, Pop. 316. It's tough getting Baby updates with no TV or newspaper & a balky laptop. All these setbacks scare me. But he does look wonderful. And how 'bout the shot of him & Frenchy in the video? Skinny little boys. :-)
By Lauren T. May 3, 2009 - 6:02 pm
Skinny little boys who… wait, did Baby hug Frenchy's butt with his hands at home plate? I think he did!! See, this is why we make GL jokes. ;D
