John Smoltz Quotes


John Smoltz

It`s just ingrained into a player now. It`s more famous here than anyplace else in the world, ... The only thing about it here is it`s followed by, `Let`s score some runs!`

I`m tired of talking about it. But that`s just the way it is.

I tried a little too hard early. I pitched like it was a playoff game. We needed to win. The guys came through. I knew if I could keep it close, we would have a chance.

This is for all the nay-sayers. This is for all the ones that said there`s no way this can continue ... to the ones that are waiting for the next debacle.

I`ve never seen a bruise that lasts all year.

I don`t know any other way to do it. I take the mound with the focus that we can`t lose. I`ve had that feeling for a long time.

And for one day, we could put aside the failures of what things they keep (saying) about this team.

If I could stand up there with my whole side protected, ... why would I give up anything?

What this team needs to do is continue (from) this. This was a big win for us. When we`ve had big wins, we haven`t followed them. We need to ride this.

The fact that we`ve won division titles in such strange ways every single year, I don`t think there is one thing you can say other than Bobby Cox.
