Smoltz going for 3000 tonight

I wish I could be at the game. John Smoltz is only 4 strikeouts away from 3000. Only 15 other pitchers in MLB histroy have reached 3000 K's. Tonight he starts against the Washington Nationals here at home.

I was at a game a few years ago when he tied his own record for strikeouts in one game, it was either 15 or 16. Either way, that's a lot of strikeouts for one game, especially considering there's only 27 outs total in a full game.

I wish I could be there again tonight, but I'll have to be happy seeing the highlights after the game.
