Oh ho ho! Sneaky, didn't think anyone would ask me. 'm kinda glad you did, I needed a good laugh.
All the fic answers are early90s!Smoltz, btw. Post-95 would be a whole 'nother can of worms where the answers would be terribly mean and redundant. I'm just goin' with who he is when I write him.
1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
Baseball: Well baseballwise, I've always thought he was actually underrated, or I guess overlooked? He's probably one of the most consistent pitchers I've seen in my time as a baseball fan. And I'd pick him HoF sooner than picking Glav, all things considered. This is strictly baseball, though. Sort of like my feelings for Glav. xD
Fic: I don't like him but I like how human he is, I guess. Most baseball players don't really seem accessible/relatable, and he kind of does. I mean, he seems like an intelligent, complex sort of guy, if not a bit reliant on other people/things instead of dealing with problems
( ... )
Yeah, yeah, Tom ruins everything, but he kind of didn't in the 2006 post season, so it just comes with age.
Golf euphemisms FTW, obv. If our OTPs went golfing, mine would just suck. Tom all being perfect and aged and picking on them. Calling Pelf "Goofy" and ha ha ha, you break clubs with such a fury.
Smoltzie does seem a *bit* underrated, but he's John Smoltz.
You know, that Glavine archive/site, there're stories of encounters. Did you read about this girl finding him in a bar and sitting on his lap for a picture?
I'm sure we'll see new Smoltz/Glavine adventures in 2008. Let's just see how much Hudson gets himself involved in this mess, if he does, at all.
7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
Yeah he might be that guy at the sports bar I go to, to watch games at, and have deep baseball convos with (not that I could see him at a bar), but that's it. I'd ttly have him introduce me to that dorky lefty (AVERY, NOT THE OTHER LEFTY) next to him and leave. Ya prty mch.
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
Baseball: As a pitcher, or player, I wouldn't count him as one of my favorites, but if I were a Braves er...fan, I guess is what to call them (although I prefer "follower"), I most certainly would, regardless of what my feelings for him as a person would be.
Fic Oh plz. Even as a youngun, he's kind of a tool (not as bad as Davey though). I wouldn't say he's the least favorite person I've ever written on paper/in my head/RP/whatever, because

I won't do Ollie yet. Maybe if I post this on my elJay I'll do an Ollie shout out. (That pic though, when he has that stuff in his eyes, has me rolling. Still.)
Philip, only because.
1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.I think Philip Humber is extremely sweet, if not neglected. He has TJ's in 2005 and it's taking him a bit to recover, which made his stock drop within the Mets system. People keep on harping on the successful individuals who recovered from TJ's, like Carp, and thought Hump would do well. He actually did well the latter half of the 2007 season where he had a no-hitter until two outs in the 9th of the Triple-A game he was in. His statistics in a hitter's league improved, so there is hope yet with a second season
