The Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics have been rivals for quite some time. The A’s have gotten the best of the Mariners over the years, with a 334-270 overall record dating all the way back to 1977.

With the MLB regular season right around the corner, teams, players and fans are beyond excited for the season to get underway. On Wednesday, the Mariners tweeted out a promo that shows how excited they are for baseball to return so they can watch Felix Hernandez on the mound.

We’re guessing the Athletics were not too pleased with the final clip that shows one of their players striking out, so they fired some shots on Twitter.



@Mariners Congratulations on inventing a day so that you could finally get a ring. — Oakland A's 🌳🐘⚾️ (@Athletics) March 15, 2017

The Mariners didn’t really come up with anything original for their comeback, as they replied with the same clip.



Clearly the A’s were just getting started, as they came out firing on all cylinders after that response.



@Mariners Thanks. We'll tie the balloon to one of our World Series trophies so it won't float away. pic.twitter.com/dYet0ZCSrG — Oakland A's 🌳🐘⚾️ (@Athletics) March 15, 2017

The Mariners comeback was a little better this time, especially since they slipped some Smash Mouth lyrics in their response.



@Athletics Well, we know the 70s and 80s were fun, but as you know...the years start coming and they don't stop coming. — Mariners (@Mariners) March 15, 2017

But the Athletics were not going down without a fight.



The two teams will get their first chance to settle this on the diamond on Thursday, April 20, when the Mariners pay a visit to Oakland for a four-game series.
