After many seasons of facing Oakland's vaunted big three of Tim Hudson, Mark Mulder & Barry Zito, the Angels will be facing the remnants of Atlanta's Big Three of the 1990s - John Smoltz tonight and Tom Glavine this weekend. We beat Greg Maddux in Anaheim last season, so there is a chance to go three for three.
We also get a too-soon-for-nostalgia swipe at Hudson later this week, matched up Wednesday with Kelvim Escobar and his 80 percent elbow.
