 Panes Of Glass Everywhere Rejoice
I’m not all that shocked, but he’s topping out at 78 miles-per-hour. The Mets score an ugly run to move within one, then the side is retired. Tom Glavine takes the hill, and he tops out at 79 miles-per-hour. Someone call Elias, I think this is the first time in major league history that two non-knuckleballers have faced off and neither has broken 80 MPH. Carlos Delgado just struck out on a 65 MPH slurve. I think Moyer and Glavine are trying to one-up each other, see who can throw the slowest ball. It’s really something to behold, and I highly recommend you tune in, especially if there’s no paint to watch dry in your house. Glavine just muscled up and hit 83 on the gun, putting an end to the septuagenarian fun. Party pooper.

But I bet you the two starting catchers' hands have never felt this good after any game in MLB history!
Neither pitcher throws hard enough to break a pane of glass.
It's a baseball expression, probably an old one, my dad used to say it all the time, usually when Jimmy Key was pitching.
Never heard it before. Maybe it's a Philly thing? Or I might be stupid, like I said.
Speaking of sort throwing lefties, the King: Jimmy Key. Damn, I was going to reference him in my Mark Redman post I was working on for tomorrow! I actually was just working on my draft now, and had already told my Jimmy Key story!
Short version: We were at the bar last Friday, and the Mets-Braves game was on, and Mark Redman was pitching... more to come.
You had me doubting myself, but it's widely known...
Looking forward to the Jimmy Key post, I have my fingers crossed that my first-born will be a soft-tossing lefty, guaranteed 20-year career in the bigs.
