[R] subsetting a dataframe

[John Sorkin]

windows XP
R 2.6.0

I am having problems deleting a row from a data frame. I create my dataframe by subsetting a larger dataframe:

ShortLavin<-Lavin[Lavin[,"Site"]=="PP" | Lavin[,"Site"]=="CC" | Lavin[,"Site"]=="FH",]

I then perform a glm using the data frame and plot the results. 

fit1poisson<-glm(NumUniqOpPt~Seq+Site,family=poisson(link = "log"),data=ShortLavin,offset=log(NumUniqPt))
plot(fit1poisson)

On the plots I see a point labeled as 127 that is an extreme value. I want to re-run the glm excluding the extreme observation. I have tried several methods to exclude the observation (shown below), none have worked. 

Minus127<-ShortLavin[-127,]
Minus127<-ShortLavin[-"127",]
Minus127<-ShortLavin[-c(127),]
Minus127<-ShortLavin[-c("127"),]

None of these worked. Suggestions on how I can remove observation 127 would be appreciated

Thank you,
John
