We're not going to take pleasure in someone getting injured. Chipper Jones has had a good career and been a stand up guy throughout. But this does increase the Phils' chances of overtaking the Braves in the NL East.
Jones' agent told ESPN that he has a torn ACL and that likely means season (career?) ending surgery. Chipper hasn't had a great year by any standards, but his injury is a HUGE blow to the Braves, who are 2 1/2 games up on the Phils.
