you can have him griff. we're tired of his attitude in arizona. he is one of the best out there when he is on his game, but an absolute, whiny dick when he isn't. that shit about pushing gonzales in the dugout last year was the last straw for me. i hate to see him go to NY but at least he is gone.

He was in town for about three minutes before his first cameraman episode...

The DBacks (and we fans) will miss having that dominant presence on the mound every fifth day, and RJ has surely given us some unbelievably big thrills these past six years...but I have to agree with 'lookout' in that I, for one, will not miss his attitude one little bit.

Btw, regards the hated Yankees, I highly recommend a book called "The Last Night of the Yankee Dynasty". If you haven't read this book, anything you ever believed or heard about Steinbrenner is nowhere near bad enough. It also chronicles some interesting behind-the-scenes insights into Game 7 of the 2001 Series. Great book!

Bye-bye, RJ...it was fun. I'll always remember being there the night the Padres dugout was giving you grief the whole game, and you kept getting hotter and hotter and ended up pitching a complete game shutout, with three of your last four pitches crossing the plate between 98 and 100 mph. I watched you go after Sterling Hitchcock with a bat after he hit you on your pitching arm, and I watched you win Game 2 of the World Series...etc. It was more than fun, Unit...it was great Baseball.
