Oh. And if you've read any sports coverage lately, you might have noticed that every article about Tom Glavine winning his 300th game (I'm glad Tom made it, but every Mets win is a small dagger in my heart at the moment) mentions the possibility that Glavine will be the last pitcher to win 300 games. Do not believe this. This is not true. Another pitcher will win 300 games. It might not be very soon, but it will happen, and in most of our lifetimes. People said the same thing when Maddux won his 300th (and it just kills me a little that both Glavine and Maddux hit this milestone in uniforms that were not Braves uniforms). Yes, it is harder to win 300 games in the era of specialized relief pitching and the five-man rosters, but it is not impossible, especially as we see more and more pitchers going strong into their forties. If I had to pick a current pitcher to win 300, I'd take Dontrelle Willis, especially if he winds up with a team that is consistently good (we'll see if the Marlins ever enter a period of sustained winning, instead of the sporadic championship success surounded by periods of low budget overacheiving mediocracy that has characterized the franchise.

Anyway, that had been bothering me.
