Will the real Tom Glavine please step up?



I'd have to say I'm a little worried about Glavine.. I'd like to think he's a solid #1 or 2 heading into post-season, but he's just had too many inconsistent games lately. He's had at least 4 or 5 starts now with at least 4-6 runs given up in as many innings, which is worrisome.

Is it a sign of old age setting in, and at best he'll be hit or miss in playoffs? Or is it just a patch of bad luck? More importantly, if it is old age, will he be able to pull it together through the playoffs to pitch the necessary gems to get us WS trophy? Mets are going to need solid performances from #1-3 starters to lock it up this year, since our 'prolific' offense has the brutal tendency to dry up every time we face decent pitching, which will clearly be what we face in WS.
