Yahoo! - During the NLDS, Atlanta Braves legend Chipper Jones angered the current Braves by predicting they would lose that series to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
When Jones showed up to throw out a ceremonial first-pitch — like players from the past do during the postseason — the rumor was that nobody from the Braves would catch for him. The team mascot had to do it instead.
Almost two months have passed and Chipper still isn't happy about this. He took a shot at the Braves and recently departed ex-teammate Tim Hudson on Sunday, tweeting the following:
What if Huddy takes the mound for the first
time in SF next yr, and no one is there to catch the 'first pitch'?
Maybe the mascot? #karma
Larry Jones just doing it big. Calling out his former teammates on Twitter because he still isn't over being snubbed in the ol' first pitch ceremony. What a life this guy must have right? Millions of dollars in the bank from playing a kids game and your biggest complaint is that the Braves mascot caught your first pitch and not a real baseball player? Really bro? 3 Months later and you are still upset? Clean it up Larry. You dissed your former teammates and they dissed you. Eye for an eye. Now take your money and go away.
PS. Seriously they should start a #exmlbplayerproblems hashtag and see what else grinds these ex ball players gears.
