"I was more nervous the first time," Christine Glavine said. "I felt pretty calm today. He was actually more nervous. I felt like what you're supposed to do as a wife and you just say, 'You know what, go out there and you do what you've done for 20 years and who gives a damn if somebody has to fly to some other city."'

He face showed her nervousness when Chicago closed to 5-3. Then the Mets pulled away.

Carlos Delgado backed Glavine with four RBIs, and Luis Castillo had four of New York's 16 hits.

Coming off a night of little sleep because two of his children were sick, Glavine felt drained early and put a towel soaked with ammonia on his head when he came off the field during the early innings.

" I think I put a little bit more pressure on myself tonight to go out and try to get it done. Once I got to the ballpark I seemed to clam down a little bit, but all day at the hotel I was nervous about it and uptight about it," he said," he said. "I was kind of drained once I got here. "After the third inning I started to feel better physically and started to pitch a little bit better."
