Kerry Wood Absolutely Hates Joe West

After Kyle Hendricks list his no hit bid in the ninth inning against the St Louis Cardinals on Monday night, the Chicago Cubs infield attempted to visit Kyle on the mound. For some reason this angered home plate ump (and major douche bag) Joe West. He broke the meeting up before it could happen, which then enraged Cubs manager, Joe Maddon.

This encounter ended up in West giving Maddon the the heave ho.

West was wrong in this case. It is customary for an infield to be allowed to meet with a pitcher after the emotional let-down on losing a no-hit bid this late in a game.

Well this enraged former Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood, who took to Twitter to echoes those feelings.

Kerry also retweeted many others tweets on their disgust with Joe West.

I’ll quote my brother here, “Joe West, you should never know an umpires name, ever.”
