MLB fans react to Diamondbacks players yelling 'Mad Dog' during victory celebration: "Waiting for the retirement announcement" 

The Arizona Diamondbacks apparently heard Chris "Mad Dog" Russo's statement about leaving sports radio if they defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 7 of the NLCS on Tuesday.

The Diamondbacks won Game 7 and went on to loudly chant "Mad Dog" as they celebrated inside the clubhouse.

Following Russo's audacious promise, fans on social media had no shortage of jokes.

"Hope he sticks to his words," one fan said.

"I’m waiting for the retirement announcement from him," another fan said.

"Wait till he hears this; he will then stare them down as he rounds the bases."

"Even without this mad dog should’ve retired, the guy is like Stephen a smith, always giving the worst takes."

"You love to see it."

"Way To Rob The Bank Dbacks!!!"

"The disrespect."

"The Dbacks celebrating like it's a dance party on Mad Dog's turf!RIP, Mad Dog."
