Tom Glavine Gets 300th Win

It would have been cool if he had gotten it yesterday, then there would have been three major milestones in one day. But anyway congratulations to him. There probably won't be too many more pitchers to get 300 in quite a while.

Randy Johnson is within striking distance (16 more), but I don't know if his health can hold up long enough for him to reach the milestone. At this point, it would probably take him another two seasons to hit the mark. After him, Mussina is 54 out, and I don't think he'll get there before his career is over.

I don't really care who else gets 300 wins. Tim Kurkjian has beaten this topic to death. What really gets me is that this should have happened a week ago. But ah yes, Guillermo Mota is on the pitching staff. Mota has been TERRIBLE all year long. He blew Glavine's last chance to get 300 and did he best to do that again tonight. Thank God Willie took him out before it was too late and that the Mets tacked on a few insurance runs. Mota without steroids is terrible. He should start taking them again. It couldn't hurt the Mets. If he uses and doesn't get caught, maybe he's effective. If he does get caught, there's no one that the Mets could call up and do a worse job then he's doing today.
