Here are a couple of graphs from it and the link to read the full

Is Glavine Leaving A Big Tip?
By David Lennon, Staff Writer, Newsday.com (May 6, 2005)
After twin beatings by the Braves and Phillies, the dreaded T-word
has come up with Tom Glavine, who has examined both of those ugly
outings for evidence that he might be tipping his pitches. Glavine
says he feels fine, his velocity has never been better and the
separation between his fastball and changeup is right where it
should be, roughly eight to 10 mph. That's why he's been wondering
if he's dropping hints to opposing hitters.
"I always worry about that," Glavine said. "I'm a believer that
every pitcher, if you watch them close enough, they're doing
something. It's just whether or not guys pay attention. I always
feel like there's something that I do, but I'm not 100 percent sure,
so from time to time, I'll go watch or have somebody else watch and
tell me.
"Nobody's told me that they've seen anything, but I think that's
part of it. It's a fine line between trying to make sure you've got
your bases covered and going too far trying to find out something
that's wrong."

Also, I changed the image on the front page of the club. No reason
really, I just got bored and figured I'd change it since the other
graphic had been up for a while.
Finally, in honor of Mother's Day, here's a quote from Tom on his
mom, Mildred:
(from the msgnetwork.com web site)
"She was the glue that held everything together. From her I learned
about respect, the value of hard work, and to be focused on the
enjoyment of what I was playing."
