What a bunch of miserable human beings. Prior to their NLDS Game 1 loss to the Dodgers, the Braves had franchise icon and future Hall of Famer Chipper Jones throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Rather than throw the ball to long-time teammate Brian McCann or team MVP Freddie Freeman, Chipper had to make the toss to the team mascot. Why? Kevin Kernan of the New York Post explains: Evidently, Braves players were not happy Jones had gone on the radio earlier in the day with the team's flagship station, 680 The Fan, and predicted the Dodgers would win the NLDS in four games. So no player volunteered to catch the pitch. First things first: Hey, nice call Chipper. The Dodgers officially won the series in Game 4 on Monday. Secondly: C'mon, really? Are the Braves that petty? I mean, I guess they are since the mascot (the mascot!) had to catch the ceremonial first pitch, but this is silly. Grow up and prove Chipper wrong, that's the appropriate response. Not stamping your feet and refusing to participate. Anyway, Jones clearly wasn't pleased with the turn of events, so he let this fly after the game: Between this and the recent "fun police" stuff with Jose Fernandez and Carlos Gomez, the Braves sure are an unlikable bunch. |

Wow. And you wonder why we get so much homerism from local media types. Amazing that the players couldn't deal with Chipper giving his honest opinion. |

No, I don't recall that. It's funny how people want to be lied to. That's how politicians win elections and girls get duped into going home with drunk guys. |

Chipper should be considered an expert on losing in the post-season and his opinions should be trusted.. I bet he has more post-season losses than almost any player in MLB history. Experience counts. Why is McCann so angry? |

I don't blame them. He should have a little class and support the organization he spent his career with and his teammates from last season. He was petty. |

You should at least be a few years removed from the game and they shouldn't be honoring you that day you're asked a question. |

Why was Chipper appearing on the radio? Is he there normal baseball guy? If so, I can see the honest prediction but if he was just brought on as former Brave Chipper, then should probably just be pc. |

Got it, so there are stipulations to blasting your ex team. I might be blinded in this one as I can't stand several members of that team and if they went 0-162 next year I would be one happy person. |

I thought Nas was a big "pussification of America" guy. Chipper said LA in 4, LA won in 4 probably because the Braves are mentally fragile turds. |
