"I told him, 'I love your makeup, I love your discipline. I love your commitment. I think you have a chance to win 200 games.' Now I have to apologize for shortchanging him," Sutton said. "He is one of the most special people that I have gotten to know since coming into the game as a broadcaster." [Nationals.com]
The Mets bullpen cost Glavine his 300th win last night. His next attempt will be Sunday, against another former Brave, Jason Marquis.
Elsewhere in baseball news, we're taking the boy to watch a game tonight between two teams that are a combined 31 games under .500. Don't worry, Critter - there will still be plenty of sights and sounds to keep you entertained at the ballpark.

There was an article in this week's AJC about Glavine being the only ex-Brave who is not warmly received - but is instead booed - when he returns to Atlanta. The factors, of course, are his outspokenness as the player rep leading up to and during the 1994 strike, the appearance that he only went to the Mets because they offered more money and had no loyalty to Atlanta, and the fact that he went to a division foe.
I harbor no ill will towards Glavine, and look forward to his induction in Cooperstown wearing a Braves hat. So while I won't root for the Mets, I hope Glavine gets the W in every game the Mets win the rest of the way in.
