Was I supposed to throw a no-hitter and strike out 15? That\u2019s never been my style of pitching.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well excuse me.  What a bunch of f\u2019ing nimrod cowards.  How dare they just tell Glavine to f\u2019off?  This is just totally ridiculous and unacceptable for what was once considered a class organization.<\/p>\n<p>Granted, Glavine was not going to jump into the rotation and be a number one or two, or even three pitcher, but Glavine could easily help the Braves by being a solid number five.  Of course that is not going to happen, and the travesty of this situation is that Glavine is completely estranged from the Braves.  What a way to kick this first ballet Hall of Famer in the nuts.
