Embattled rock band Nickelback have found themselves in the middle of another sports controversy -- a Twitter fight with Peter Moylan, a relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves baseball team.

Moylan threw the first high heater after attending the Foo Fighters' Dec. 2 show at AAMI Park in Melbourne, Australia, tweeting how much more he liked Dave Grohl's band than Chad Kroeger's.

"Note to @nickelback please attend a @foofighters concert. That's how's it should be done chad," he wrote.

Nickelback, who've been drinking their fair share of haterade lately on account of their unpopular football half-time shows, were quick to respond with kind words for the Foos and a baseball-savvy burn for Moylan.
