I'm starting a new series here to help break the monotony of the week, called Twitter Tuesdays. I'll look for interesting, funny, or informative Cards-related Twitter posts around the interweb and post them here. Call it getting a feel for the buzz of Cardinal Nation, to put it in ESPN terms. Ah, social media networking at its finest.

Let's get the ball rolling:

@tpriddy Was John Smoltz's sudden success Sunday with the Cards because he stopped tipping pitches to opposing batters? http://tinyurl.com/npu44l

TLR thinks it's "pretty clear" that Smoltz was tipping his pitches. John Smoltz doesn't tip pitches; he just lets the batter know what's coming out of mercy.

@thisisronney Wait, John Smoltz..its ALIVE!..ITS ALIVE! I believe D man still got some gasoline in 'em. I support D Hall of Famer, St.LCards looking good.

Scientists have proven that 99% of the world's energy resources could be provided by the velocity of John Smoltz's fastball. He was merely taking a break to let them test it.

@blog4democracy Happy debut for Smoltz; Vick's is next: Once upon a time, they were three of Atlanta's most hugged athletes. Wha.. http://bit.ly/caaj5

Just don't let Vick hug your dog.

@JimmyDPHI I'm so glad I live in a world where John Smoltz is good again.

John Smoltz can affect our perspectives on the world. Point proven.

@BeantownSports And for those of you thinking "Why can't we get guys like that" after Smoltz's Cards debut, he allowed 31 ER in his last 31 IP for the Sox!

... maybe because he hated playing there.

@BeantownSports St. Louis ... where Red Sox castoffs go to flourish (Pineiro, Lugo, Smoltz...)

Perhaps Boston should be rethinking their "castoffs." No, no, no. Gut reaction is waaaaaaaaaay easier.

@AScorpioPassion Just to let everybody know Long time NL Pitchers can't pitch in the AL,Look at Smoltz he was Horrible in the AL but in the NL he's good

Yeah.. man. I feel ya, man. Totally. Look at freakin' Josh Beckett. He sucks, man. Freakin' sucks.

@Center_Field New post: F You, John Smoltz (http://cli.gs/Ez7J4) #redsox

I guess I'm no longer invited to the Christmas party?

That's all I got today. And remember, you stay classy, Boston.
