Baseball

Tom Glavine finally won his 296th, the Mets finally won two straight and did it with the back-up catcher ... Lo Duca tossed for going postal after a call went against him. The 1-0 win was helped by El Duque (along with TG, blown away by the Yanks last weekend ... the Yanks then were swept by the Rockies) throwing a 50 something mile a hour "Bugs Bunny curve" (so slow you can swing three times).

Not a big fan of these nail-biters, surely given the Mets latest losing ways, but they are better when you win. Just ask the Yanks ... who lost in the 13th over in SF (Barry hit a home run last time, but his team lost that game). Clemens was ready to pitch ... would he get his million per game for a relief outing? Did he get paid for throwing warm-up pitches? I wouldn't be shocked.
