Playoff Observations—3:45 PM
Atlanta just tied up game two of the NLCS against the Astros. They've got runners on the corners with two outs in the bottom of the eighth.
Bobby Cox has decided to protest the game, in an hilarious dispute over the phones in the visitors' dugout – is he on the Athletic Reporter payroll now, or what?
Meanwhile, Adam LaRoche could not look more like Brian Worth from Average Joe 2. Just saying.
Update: Boo! Stranded runners in the eighth. Yay! Smoltz retires them in the top of the ninth! Let's go, Braves!
Update Again: (I should've just waited for the end of the game!) Smoltz hits a base hit! Smoltz is my hero! Smoltz is God! Smoltz has been bunted over to second! He's on fire! He's Smoltzering!
Final Update: Braves win in the 11th! Yay!

I believe smoldering refers to burning with little smoke and no flame. Thus your cheesy joke "He's on fire! He's Smoltzering!" seems to have backFIRED. ;)
