I'm not about to pretend that Glavine is Mr. Met because he won #300 in orange and blue, but come on... october curveballs and persecuted chop-shoppers are one thing, but this is probably the sport's final 300-game winner, and for newsday to choose to tell the story this way is flat-out disgraceful.
I agree 84. He won his 300th game in a Mets uniform (Seaver wasn't given that opportunity); watching on espn I was forced to look at his cheerleader wife every 43 seconds; he won the game (and the series) for the Mets; he helped the Mets maintain their lead on the second and third place teams. To me, in the year 2007, this is all good!

Maybe many Mets fans haven't embraced him (certainly not on MOFO referring to him as Mrs Glavine and other uncomplimentary names), but he is a NY Met in 2007-the year he won his 300th game. To me, he is a NY Met, and will be until he goes somewhere else for a ton of money. Today I'm a fan of his; next year....well, we'll see.
