Chipper Jones out for season

itchypickle · 08-12-10, 11:22 AM

Pretty much ends his career sadly. I say that as a Braves fan. He's talked all off season and this year about closing out...think the baseball gods may have helped him do it quicker than expected. Thanks for the memories Larry Wayne!!

Career is over...

Holtgetsback · 08-12-10, 11:23 AM

will go down as most underrated switch-hitter to ever play the game

HoulihansTX · 08-12-10, 11:25 AM

The guy was a clutch hitter.

Pauulzcappin · 08-12-10, 11:30 AM

He's done...

First ballot hall of famer, no doubt.

It's a shame. He was starting to come around and be a productive player again for Atlanta. The play he hurt himslef on looked more like a 25 yr old than a 38 yr old. I doubt seriously he ever plays again due to his age and considering the rehab time and last but not least his manager is retiring. Guys like CJ don't come back through all that at this age to play for "another" manager. Bobbie Cox is all he knows. More importantly he doesn't need the money. Guy has lived well within his means. Made superstar money for may years but didn't live the lifestyle that goes with it.

Fuked up he went out like that, but when Prado comes back I still think we will be alright.

D3 Mighty Ducks · 08-12-10, 11:34 AM

Should of retired. Enough about him what does this do to the Braves and that 3rd base position?

Career to date (may be incomplete) $141,552,133 Does not include future salaries

it pays to play ball

DeluxeLiner · 08-12-10, 11:38 AM

he loves to play ball because hopefully he doesn't need the money anymore

BookieOweMe · 08-12-10, 11:39 AM

sad..

THEGREAT30 · 08-12-10, 11:41 AM

horrible news

Kaps · 08-12-10, 12:11 PM

thats fukn horrible ,.... hes a great player even though hes almost at the end of his rope

whatsgood5 · 08-12-10, 12:20 PM

Just awful, knew as soon as it happened that it was probably it for him. Was just starting to feel optimistic about his return and then next thing I know he's done. Sick to my stomach right now, thanks for the memories Chip, I'll see ya in Cooperstown soon.

How do you figure? And I say let Brooksy/Hinske play third 'til Prado comes back and we can move Omar over to third.

sweethook · 08-12-10, 12:25 PM

yeah hes done but dam hes been great. team player more than most

itchypickle · 08-12-10, 12:32 PM

Maybe he'll tug at our emotions next spring "will he come back...will he retire" like the new Favre

Shelton · 08-12-10, 12:34 PM

and career that breaks my heart he was chasing some records slowly but was still chasin

odtw524 · 08-12-10, 01:15 PM

I cant stand this guy he should have retired a few years ago..But that is a horrible way for a career to end

What did he do to make you dislike him? He has always been a class act.

zert · 08-12-10, 02:37 PM

He was getting to old, not near what he used to be.

He was pretty arrogant in his early years....but backed it up in the long run. I've been a Braves fan forever and remember all of the negativity against him....especially if you're a Mets fan

mattyend33 · 08-12-10, 03:42 PM

chipper was a great player I have a baseball card of him thats worth like $400

He's kind of a dick for naming his kid Shea, but Mets fans respected him

I wouldn't expect any class from a Phillies fan, no worries.

Too bad for him. He could have helped the Braves down the stretch.
