Lousy Closer Spurs T-Shirt Sales

Danny Graves, the firestarter who was designated for assignment by the Reds yesterday, continues to inspire considerable consternation from his supporters and his detractors. Strangely, his biggest boosters seem to be the teammates whose lives he has made miserable all season; Cincy social climber Sean Casey said it was "one of the lowest points I've ever been involved in with the Reds." His detractors? Everyone else, particularly the entrepenurial folks at the Red Reporter, who are already selling anti-Graves T-shirts. We think Graves hasn't been the same since losing that mullet.
