First of all, don't take a term with "God" in it and try to put your little spin on it. Secondly, watch your language. Furthermore, don't show your ignorance. Atlanta's starting pitching HAS been very strong, even with John Smoltz being in and out. Tom Glavine hasn't gotten much run support at all, and Tim Hudson and Jair Jurrjens have been terrific. As for Smoltz, when healthy, he has been better than anyone else, including Brandon Webb. Poor execution has been the problem.

Even with Smoltz return to the pen which is still some time away, we're far from "very strong" in the bullpen or starting rotation. You call Hudson - Glavine - Jurrjens strong? Glavine just got off DL, Gonzalez will still be on the DL till AllStar break at least. Soriano still has discomfort, Moylan is gone for season with TJ's, Hampton is still a pussy and Smoltz going down. Lets not forget James and Carlyle have been hurt. Strong? No where near it. Good thing Chipper has been tearing it up.

[objectivethirdparty]

"rambling"'s point was that most pitchers wouldn't do something so unselfish, due to their pursuit of individual statistics.

Smoltz has returned to the bullpen now to be the closer again, and Atlanta's starting pitching is very strong. Now with Soriano set to return soon, hopefully, the seventh inning is locked down, as will be the eighth (Gonzalez), and the ninth (Smoltz).

Now to this video. From what I've seen, the testimonies are fine, but I'm afraid this church might be purpose-driven.
