I never like to engage in schadenfreude in these cases. This is Garey Daley’s job, and celebrating his equivalent of being fired, would be like celebrating the same if it happened to one of us proles.

But he has been so many shades of awful from the day of his signing, that his continued existence within the Cardinals minor league system became superfluous to the nth degree.

Good luck in lifes travels post baseball Mr. Daley.

Gruntosaurus says:

I wish Mr. Daley the best in whatever he does from here — sincerely — but I must admit that I do it with something of a sigh of relief. The same applies to the other people who’ll be getting their walking papers from the franchise this week.

I don’t want to sound too harsh here. For each player who gets released, there are a thousand of us out here who would have given their left testicle to play pro ball, even for just an instant in the rookie leagues, and we live vicariously in their successes and inevitable failures. I’d rather see every last one of ‘em succeed. But since they can’t, for those who don’t have what it takes to reach the very top, there always comes the moment when it’s time to move on and let the INCREDIBLY lucky (and talented) few win St. Louis a pennant.
