NEW YORK -- Mets pitcher Tom Glavine lost his two front upper teeth in an automobile accident Tuesday while going from LaGuardia Airport to nearby Shea Stadium in a taxi cab.

Glavine also got stitches for a cut lower lip. He was to be released from a hospital Tuesday night and miss his scheduled start Wednesday night against Houston.

The accident occurred at 2:15 p.m. ET as Glavine headed to the ballpark for New York's game against the Astros. The left-hander had spent Monday's off-day with his family in Atlanta.

And who are you to say they are getting paid too much? What you believe is too much, can be too little for someone else.

dude no one playing sports deserves to get payed millions of dollars a year when there are people in other countries working 10000x harder and starving to death.

Well, there are quite a number of people in this world that are getting paid well more than they deserve for the job they do.

Being a professional athlete is probably one of the professions that more often than not generate way too much money for the individual.

Nonetheless, losing one's front teeth is a pain in the (you know what) and regardless of financial situation, noone deserves that ... :)

Dude, you're saying athletes get paid too much when other people work 10000000X harder and get paid nothing. My response is, life is not fair, live with it. Just like you could be getting paid $15 an hour and someone else doing your job and doing it better is getting paid $10 an hour.

what the hell are you talking about?

people here are so stupid i can't believe it.

This isnt on topic with the thread at all, it sucks that his teeth got busted out. I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone. I hope all ends well.

In response to StevoFC, considering the BILLIONS of dollars in ticket sales that these players draw in every year, yes, they do deserve every penny they get. If any of these people that you say are starving and are harder working are making their respective employers BILLIONS of dollars, then they have a right to complain. Otherwise, "Life is not fair, live with it."

PS: Just because people don't share your same views, doesn't mean they are stupid......you should know better :no:

wel its reasonable fair when you consider how many people try to be professional athletes. The chances of making it big and getting rich in being an athlete isnt easy, and only the most deticated make it because on the way, you dont get payed jack ****.

plug the fact that the chances of making it big is like winning the lottery in professional sports. :happy:

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • AMD 9070XT

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!

      Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.

      Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.
