Glavine to DL

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

There were some who said the Mets would have trouble replacing Tom Glavine's 200 innings. But even if he had stayed, he apparently wouldn't get that 200 innings here. Headed to the DL for the second time this season.

Of course we can't say for sure if he would have got injured if he were still with the Mets , or that the Mets would put him on the DL if he got injured.

Has anyone read Feinstein's Glavine/Mussina book? Ken Davidoff of Snoozeday yesterday wrote that it notes Glavine was perturbed by Reyes/Milledge antics in Game 161; and that Wagner -- big surprise -- felt Willie's downplaying of Glavine's 300-win achievement last year was perceived as an insult.

First off, I never got the sense that WWSB downplayed the milestone but if so, good for Willie. And geez Louise -- if the org's celebration of that goal wasn't over-the-top as it was, I don't know what could be.

Anywhoo, I'm not much of Feinstein guy, or haven't been for a long time, so I don't care all that much but thpough that was interesting.

Reyes and Milledge's antics in game 161 didn't bother me nearly as much as Glavine's antics in game 162. Fuck Glavine. I hope his arm falls off.

Yeah I just finished it.

There's not a whole lot 'controversial' in the book. Mainly Feinstein just follows Glavine & Mussina around all year starting in ST and chronicles the ups and downs of two top pitchers at the end of their careers.
He does get some good plot lines between Mussina being dropped from the rotation for a while and the Met collapse at the end and Glavine's role in it but there are no wild 'out of school' tales being told.

Glavine does question the wisdom of Reyes & Milledge jumping around like they did in a kind of 'kids these days' manner that you'd expect from an older guy looking at how early 20s guys act. He'd prefer they took it in the dugout the same way Keith does.
I don't remember any specific Wagner's complaints about Glavine's 300th. Maybe there was something Willie said (or didn't say) at the time that he questioned, but the official celebration was a org-directed thing a short time later which certainly wasn't too small. Glavine was clearly a bit uncomfortable with it and would have preferred something smaller (or non-existant). Wagner is in the book a lot as he and Glavine were best buddies and usually drove to the park from Conn each day.
