Big no-no: Scherzer's wife throws away no-hitter jersey

Unfortunately, it's officially the offseason for the Nationals. As we watch the Cubs and Indians go head-to-head in the World Series, we are left to sit back and wonder what could have been.

But for the players, it's time to get some things in order that they couldn't take care of during the season. Things like resting some nagging injuries, visiting friends and family, and even a little house cleaning. Well, one National's wife accidentally took the house cleaning a little too far.

On Wednesday evening, Max Scherzer tweeted a picture of one of his jerseys in the trash can. But not just any of his jerseys. The jersey he was wearing when he threw his second career no-hitter against the Mets on Oct. 3, 2015. Max was sure to call out his wife, Erica, by tagging her in the picture.

Obviously, that's a big no-no.

And if there's anything we know about Max, he's not one to just let things slide. About 10 minutes later, he tweeted a picture of his retaliation to his wife's mishap:

Oh look! I found some "dirty" purses... #JustDoingHouseChores pic.twitter.com/6qKveY1EsH

All in good fun, Erica owned up to her mistake and accepted her punishment:

MAJOR wife fail moment! 😬#AtLeastTheCouchIsComfy https://t.co/dUyzHrfUSV

To be fair, Erica was just looking for something she could use as an auction item for charity, but found one that was dirty and torn.

@DupontCircleDC Ironically I was actually looking for auction items but this one was torn & covered in dirt so I tossed it...lesson learned!

Yeah, it's torn and dirty due to the celebrating of Max's historic feat that day. Next time, I'm sure Erica will double-check before throwing anything away, giving Max the opportunity to shake her off if needed.
