Should Smoltz head back to the pen?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
John Smoltz, who’s headed to the disabled list with a strained rotator cuff, said Tuesday he’d be up to returning to the bullpen.
But can the Braves’ starting rotation afford to lose Smoltz? And who would you be comfortable moving into the rotation, if Smoltz does move to the bullpen?
Should Rafael Soriano then move back into a set-up role? Or should the Braves try to shop Soriano, and if they did, would there be any takers?
We have lots of questions. Please provide us with the answers.

Can the Hawks pull it off in Boston?

The series is now tied at two games apiece and momentum clearly appears to be on the Hawks’ side - at least for the moment.
So …. here’s the question - Do the Hawks have a chance of winning Wednesday in Boston?
The Hawks lost the first two games of the series in Boston, and will need to win there at least once if they plan to pull a monumental upset and win the series. And since they need to win at least one game there, why not win Wednesday night?
Let us know what you think. Can the Hawks pull it off, or will the Celtics regain control of the series by winning at home?
You call it.

Should Garnett be suspended?

The Hawks-Celtics series, expected by most fans to be a yawner, has gotten interesting in more ways than one. Not only did the Hawks tie it up Monday night, but the jawing and scuffling intensified as well.
Hawks big man Zaza Pachulia and Celtics star Kevin Garnett got into it before halftime, leading to a scrum that produced four technical fouls but no ejections. The incident may not be over, however.
League officials are reviewing whether Garnett threw an elbow at referee Eddie F. Rush, which could lead to a suspension. They’re also looking at whether Hawks forward Marvin Williams and Celtics forward Kendrick Perkins left their benches and stepped on the court during the dustup, a violation of league rules.
What do you think? Did Garnett throw an elbow at the ref? Should he be suspended? And are the Hawks getting into the Celtics’ heads?
