Ex-pitcher Dan Haren had a funny exchange with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Twitter Friday.
The D-backs announced their 20th anniversary team on Friday. Haren, who pitched 2.5 seasons for the team, making the All-Star team twice, was not included. He tweeted at Arizona asking for a “recount”.
Can we get a recount?

In response, the person running the account trash-talked Haren, saying he’s gone from hanging breaking balls to hanging chads.
I can probably get you fired

Haren certainly has not been short on jokes in retirement.
As much of a joke as this was, Haren actually has a legit argument for being included. Baseball-Reference.com has him as the most valuable player on the team in ’08 and ’09. If his career with the team lasted longer, he probably would have been included.
