Notes: Glavine brushes off comments

NEW YORK -- No matter where he has lived -- Atlanta, New York and points in between -- Tom Glavine has the same address, the high road. And in most cases, he has been rather comfortable there. He remained there Friday, some 20 hours after Albert Pujols was less than gracious in characterizing Glavine's performance Thursday night in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series.
Glavine not only had provided precisely what his team needed -- seven quality innings and a low pitch count -- in the Mets' 2-0 victory, he also held Pujols, Juan Encarnacion and Scott Rolen, aka the meat of Cardinals order, hitless with two walks in 12 plate appearances.

And Pujols -- hitless with a strikeout and a walk in four plate appearances -- characterized Glavine's work with these words: "He wasn't good. He wasn't good at all. I think we hit the ball hard. We didn't get some breaks."

For the most part, the Mets dismissed the words of the player they regularly have acknowledged to be the best hitter in the league. Glavine's responses were these:

When approached by reporters: "If it's about what somebody said, I have nothing to say."

When approached by one reporter who repeated Pujols' remarks: "I'm not sure I had to impress him."

Another Mets player, not wanting to initiate a back and forth battle, said, "[Pujols] went 0-for. He wasn't good, either."
