Tom Glavine: Everlasting Hate

"If he wants to go back to Atlanta, we'll try our best to beat him up.'' – David Wright

The Mets should’ve beaten Tom Glavine up before he pitched that last game against the Marlins. Mondo hard. Like what the Kansas City mob did to Joe Pesci and his brother in "Casino" (but with wood bats of course). And with more repeated steel-toed kicks to the groinal area. Something around fifteen days worth of steel-toed groinal kicks. Wait, make it an even thirty-three days...

a note on tom glavine and the "importance" of his 200ip:

34 starts, 11 of which that he took into the 7th inning. 9 that he went 7ip or more.

that means he had 23 starts where he forced the mets bullpen to get 9 outs or more.

the bullpen was mediocre at best and tired down the stretch to become god-awful. tom glavine was a clear contributor to the attrition of the pen.

go away, tom glavine. go away.

i'll take my chances with humber and pelfrey. at least they don't have old, saggy balls.
