Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / The Graviton?

Hey all
Quick question for you. I hear all the time, 'the elusive gravity particle' . But why do we even need one? Doesn't Einstein's General theory describe gravity as mass warping space/time. So, i thought of gravity more like rivers within the sea. You get pulled 'along' but there is no particle per-se that does that pulling.
Or am i completely off base here?
