On Tuesday, the Dodgers won their third consecutive division title, securing a spot in the playoffs and a match-up against the Mets early next month. After extending a congratulations to the Dodgers, the city's public transportation Metro Los Angeles took aim at the MTA. 

Hey @MTA please tidy up the 7 train, @Dodgers blue is coming to town. #lolmets @Mets

The MTA responded with a trash tweet, reminiscent of their consistently trash service. 

Don’t worry, @MetroLosAngeles – we sweep our subway just like the @Mets will sweep the @Dodgers

Metro Los Angeles should've just let the MTA catch their L in peace, but they fired back, incorporating the G.O.A.T. hustler Pizza Rat in their response.

A friendly wager, @MTA? Perhaps your famous New York pizza. #Dodgers #LolMets pic.twitter.com/5g1vpMBuZF

The MTA inexplicably continued to engage, bringing up a terrible suggestion. 

.@metrolosangeles Happy to wager on who wins the series. Care to wager on who gets more fans to the ballpark?

Who cares that Dodger Stadium has the highest seating capacity (56,000) in the MLB and could end up hosting a majority of the games in the NLDS, the MTA is used to looking foolish, so this is par for the course. Still, Metro Los Angeles let the MTA "win" that little dispute and then...

You got us on the numbers, @MTA. Assuming your riders remember how transit works. pic.twitter.com/rpYc9JjGNZ

Ouch. We would show you MTA's response, but it's really a waste of time. Much like using the MTA.
