Pirates pitcher drops grievance because he's a Jehovah's Witness

Reliever Salomon Torres has decided to drop his grievance against the Pirates, as well as his pursuit of a lawsuit. He said yesterday at AT&T Park, shortly after the team's 5-0 victory against the San Francisco Giants, that he made the decision on his own and based it solely on his religion. He is a devout Jehovah's Witness. "It is not up to me, as a Christian, to seek justice on my own. It is up to God to handle the situation, and I will let Him do that for me," Torres said. "After a long talk with myself, I've decided this is the right path to take." -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Yeah I know man...It does seem petty on the part of Torres though...it's like he is saying look at me, iam taking the high road here see...look, I am better than the Pirates...

Taking the high road should not come with self promotion...
