…Tom Glavine deserved one like that last night? I love this little glimpse into the Mets clubhouse yeaterday by the Daily News:

 

There’s a strange reverence in the Mets clubhouse on the days Tom Glavine pitches. Teammates respect that every time he takes the mound, it could be a step toward 300 wins and baseball immortality. So when he propped up a small alarm clock on the floor in front of a couch and put his head down for a pregame nap, most players cleared out.

One even turned down the lights on that side of the room.

A short one like that takes the edge off and the club gets an emotional break from pressure. Good time, too.

The first six innings were of predictable fashion with a 2-run homer in the 1st by David Wright and another nice catch by Carlos Gomez. I sense a bit the the ship has been righted. Maybe I’m an old geezer, but I’m still pointing to the firey ejection of Paul LoDuca last week as being something more than most realize.

By the way, do they still play the same timeless music at Shea during rain delays-some that date back to the 50’s? I couldn’t hear on TV
