Mets and Yankees Engage in Humorous Twitter Spat During Subway Series

Even though the Yankees won two of three games in the first Subway Series of the year, the Mets—the owners of the best record in all of baseball—have a three-game lead over their intrastate rival in overall record. It would have been easy to just tweet back a picture of each team's record, but the Mets decided to end this little spat by not responding.
