    If Glavine reaches 300 as a Met, wins another World Series as a Met, does he go into the hall with a Met cap on.

    God I hope not.
     
  2. any specific reason you don't like him?

    He is a player rep for the union. Could that have anything to do with the reaction?

    Great job novelist. I know it killed you. While you were remiss in not mentioning those five 20-win seasons, I'm willing to cut you some slack. :)

    As much as I wouldn't mind seeing that, there's no chance he goes in as a Met. He spent his first 16 seasons and won his first 242 wins with Atlanta. I don't care how much more success he has with New York -- whether it be this season or even into next -- he'll always be remembered as a Brave.

    Well, I thought the end of the paragraph covered it, and I'm making a concerted effort to get over the way the greedy rat bastard traitor he left and be civil. My therapist has advised me it's not healthy to keep rehashing it.

    Look who calls Glavine to congratulate him!

    NEW YORK (AP) - For Tom Glavine, among all the people who called to congratulate him on his 300th win, two stood out: Bobby Orr and Wayne Gretzky.

    "Those guys were way better (at hockey) than I ever was at this game," said Glavine, a former Los Angeles Kings draft pick. "It was mind-boggling that those guys, great as they were, took the time to congratulate me."

    Oh, and there was a voice mail left by another pretty good left-hander, Sandy Koufax. That left Glavine in awe.

    "I feel like a kid when that happens," Glavine aid.

    With all the crap about Michael Vick, the NBA ref, Barry Bonds et.al., it is nice for a change to have a true gentleman and nice person reach a milestone. I may be getting old but I really felt for him and his family as I watched Glavine's 300th.

    That is all.
