As Justin Timberlake would sing: "Bye, bye, bye"

So long John Smoltz. The Nation was so full of hope when you signed this past winter. Your first start in Baltimore was highly anticipated. You were given ample opportunities to show that you still had enough to pitch here but to no avail. It is the All Sox blog's hope that you do not feel cheated.

As a 42 year old exits a 23 year old enters. Junichi Tazawa gets called up and will pitch out of the pen tonight. The starter for Tuesday night's game is either Tazawa or Michael Bowden. I assume if Tazawa is needed out of the pen prior to Tuesday then Bowden will be called up to replace him and get that start.

Davis Ortiz will hold a press conference tomorrow at 12:30 PM. I hope he comes "clean'.

Big game tonight. Josh Beckett gets the ball in a important game.
