"CUE THE outrage.Instead of promoting franchise icon Tom Glavine at the end of his rehab assignment, which everyone expected, the Braves chopped him instead. The winning pitcher from the clinching game of their only world championship was dumped after pitching six shutout innings for Class A Rome.John Smoltz, another touchstone of the team's 14-season run of first-place finishes who was forced to sign with the Red Sox after the Braves made it clear last winter they weren't interested in bringing him back, spoke for many. "That ain't right to let him go after getting that far in his rehab," he clucked.Glavine, in a text to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, said he was "surprised and disappointed."Here's the thing, though. While the Braves may have made a mistake - and lack of velocity is an oddly unconvincing explanation for those of us who watch Jamie Moyer every fifth day or so - general manager Frank Wren did the right thing.The unpopular thing, maybe. The erroneous thing, perhaps. But still the right thing because he made a baseball decision that superprospect Tommy Hanson gave his team a better chance to win.It's fine for fans to root, root, root for the home team, wear the colors, take pride in the accomplishments of the mercenaries who gather each season and then scatter again after the last game.But sentiment is a luxury only the paying customers can afford. Try as we might to ignore the fact, professional sports are a big business.The Braves are trying to put their best team on the field. To that end, they demoted another hot prospect, Jordan Schafer, earlier this week. Then they improved their outfield by giving up a chunk of their future for Pirates outfielder Nate McLouth."
