Triumph Number 200 for Spurs Christiaan van Meel
What would you do after you had just won your 200th game? Run around The Snake Pit doing cartwheels, jumping for joy and waving to the crowd? Well, maybe you and I would do that, but not <Christiaan van Meel:player#9094> -- that's not his way.

After he notched number 200, the 36-year-old <Texas:team#73> hurler spoke to the press like he always has -- in a soft, quiet voice. He wasn't doing any cartwheels or even anything resembling a jump for joy. "Obviously it feels very good," van Meel commented. "To win this many games, you've got to have a lot of help."

van Meel got his milestone victory by beating the <Arizona Vipers:team#6> 2-0. He held them to 2 hits in 9 innings and rung up 6 strikeouts with 1 walk.

After sharing his thoughts with the press, he went to the clubhouse. There he was greeted by the guys who had helped him get #200. His teammates drenched him and then gave him a rousing round of applause. That got to him -- for the first time today, van Meel's face broke into a big smile.

During his career <van Meel:player#9094> has registered a 200-98 record with a 3.69 ERA.
