Chipper and Smoltz feuding
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
You might say Chipper is a bit ticked off.
When asked after the game Saturday how he took Smoltz’s comments from Friday night, if he thought they were directed at him:
“I don’t know, you guys interviewed him last night. How’d ya’ll take it?” (every reporter looks uncomfortable, silent pause, etc.)
“I’d be stupid if I didn’t take it the same way. So I’ll play the rest of the games this year and do what I can.
“Somebody I know better not miss a start.”
Yikes.
Then: “He made his point through the media, now I’m gonna make mine through the media. If he doesn’t want to handle it man-to-man, fine.”
It would appear as though we’ve got a situation.
