Washington Nationals catcher Josh Bard(notes), center, bench coach Jim Riggleman, left, and teammates leave the field after a 9-3 win over the Boston Red Sox in a baseball game Thursday, June 25, 2009, in Washington.

Time "absolutely stood still" for John Smoltz as game time approached.

He sped through his warmup faster than planned. His phone was overflowing with 71 text messages. Try as he might to downplay his Boston Red Sox debut -- a 9-3 loss to Washington on Thursday night -- there was no way he could avoid the magnitude of the moment.
