Graves DFA

The Mets Dfa'd Danny Graves today, who, it turns out, sucked as bad for the Mets as he did for the Reds. Peter Gammons, and every other suck up who used this as evidence of the Reds being a dysfunctional organization should apologize immediately. To be safe, this should probably include Hal McCoy, who pushed forward the player's line long after Danny was gone. Reds fans, and DO, were way ahead of the curve on this one. He had lost it. He wasn't getting it done--or even close, and getting rid of him was the right thing for the team to do.

To the Reds players, who whined and bitched about him going, get over it. Its a business. To Danny himself, who has consistently complained about his treatment, how glad he was to be out of there, how messed up the Reds are, its time to move on with your life. Its not the Reds. Its you.

How's that pitch tipping theory going?

There's a certain element of schadenfreude to this that probably isn't warranted. But its there, and I'm feeling it.
