Last night, Jo Jo Reyes finally got a win for the Toronto Blue Jays. He had previously gone 28 starts over the past three injury riddled seasons without registering a victory. Although that is a great hurdle to overcome and hopefully leads to more victories for the lefty, his streak is not quite as notorious as that of Anthony Young back in the early 1990s.The early 90s sparked the first wave of Mets futility after their impressive late 80s finishes. In 1992, they still had the impressive pitching names (Gooden, Fernandez, Cone, Saberhagen). By this point, Doc's off field troubles were affecting his pitching, Fernandez was having his modest type season, and Saberhagen hadn't yet cured his own Brett Saberhagen disease. Side bar: Brett Saberhagen disease is characterized by having alternating good and bad seasons. For Saberhagen, until 1994, he pitched great in odd years and awful in even numbered years. Cone was having a good year, but suffered and lost potential wins due to the dreadful offense.
