Mariners, Athletics Have Hilarious Twitter Feud Over New Commercial

There might be nothing better than two professional sports teams getting into a Twitter argument.

The Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics got into a pretty one-sided feud Wednesday after the Mariners released four 30-second commercials for the 2017 season.

One of the Mariners’ commercials was called “Felix Day,” and starred, of course, pitcher Felix Hernandez. The ad ends with Hernandez striking out an A’s batter and catcher Mike Zunino handing the batter a balloon shaped like a K.

And for some reason, this upset the Athletics’ Twitter, which came back with a weak allusion to the fact that the Mariners never have won a World Series.

Congratulations on inventing a day so that you could finally get a ring.

But the Mariners didn’t see the need to apologize.

The A’s responded with another feeble “rings” argument.

Thanks. We'll tie the balloon to one of our World Series trophies so it won't float away. pic.twitter.com/dYet0ZCSrG

Seattle came back with a Smash Mouth reference, making fun of the Athletics’ argument with the band.

Well, we know the 70s and 80s were fun, but as you know…the years start coming and they don't stop coming.

The A’s continued to struggle with comebacks.
