Most of the Smash Mouth news we post falls under the “honestly, you can’t make this shit up” category. And, well, honestly? You can’t make this shit up. During last night’s World Series game between the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians, the “All Star” band took an innocuous tweet by sports writer John Shea about former Oakland Athletics player/current Indians player Coco Crisp as an opportunity to bash the A’s:

Coco Crisp goes from accusing A's of benching him to prevent $13M option from vesting to hitting key RBI single for Indians in World Series.

@JohnSheaHey The A's are a joke, good for CC!

That’s kind of funny, but not so weird. But then, at around 2:00AM, the Oakland A’s Twitter started firing back, and we had a beef a-brewin:

@smashmouth Insulted by Smash Mouth? #Pfft pic.twitter.com/SM1Q7CcvnF

@Athletics You're not? BillyBall Bullsh*t!

— Smash Mouth (@smashmouth) October 29, 2016

@smashmouth Up late desperately tweeting for relevancy? Hey now, that's not very All-Star of you.

— Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) October 29, 2016

@Athletics You guys made ZERO key additions last off season. Same this off-season? You have great fans,come on give them something!

— Smash Mouth (@smashmouth) October 29, 2016

@R_J_175 Trying to get them to wake up. It's a shame what they're doing to you great fans.

— Smash Mouth (@smashmouth) October 29, 2016

@TBlair64 @Athletics The dumb asses responded. Goodness go make a trade or repair your stadium or something. #MinorLeagueCalibur

@LosMurillo126 @Athletics ha! Shoot we thought it was actually Billy. David Forst maybe?

— Smash Mouth (@smashmouth) October 29, 2016

@510ProSports @Athletics Lets just say they don't seem to have a gameplan for a legit shot at a title. Nickel &Dime Business!

— Smash Mouth (@smashmouth) October 29, 2016

@soneillfsu @JohnSheaHey @Athletics Buried? Ha ha! There's no argument the A's are the worst piece of crap in pro sports PERIOD!

— Smash Mouth (@smashmouth) October 29, 2016

Then A’s pitcher Sean Doolittle tried to step in to make peace:

@smashmouth @Athletics hey hey guys cmon. Why Can't We Be Friends? last year was rough but I'm A Believer.

— Sean Doolittle (@whatwouldDOOdo) October 29, 2016

But it didn’t work:

@whatwouldDOOdo @Athletics Just last year? Not saying you should expect a World Series but this team is doing stuff way too cheap!

— Smash Mouth (@smashmouth) October 29, 2016

@smashmouth @whatwouldDOOdo Guess you've got it all figured out. Except how to make a hit since 1999.

— Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) October 29, 2016

@510ProSports @Athletics @whatwouldDOOdo No hard feelings just rep theBay better. They have some of the most loyal fans!

— Smash Mouth (@smashmouth) October 29, 2016

@smashmouth @510ProSports @whatwouldDOOdo And you have no fans. They all graduated college 18 years ago and grew up. Do the same.

— Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) October 29, 2016

@SharkWitten @Athletics @510ProSports @whatwouldDOOdo Funniest thing ever! Wasn't expecting them to jump in the sandbox with us.

— Smash Mouth (@smashmouth) October 29, 2016

@Skletch @Athletics Seems kind of odd doesn't it!

— Smash Mouth (@smashmouth) October 29, 2016

@Skletch @Athletics World Series is exactly what the A's should be aspiring for. If not sell ASAP!

— Smash Mouth (@smashmouth) October 29, 2016

@MSNSports @Athletics The @MLB should have a meeting with A's ownership and ask them what their intentions are moving forward. #sell

— Smash Mouth (@smashmouth) October 29, 2016

But then the A’s apologized, and peace and harmony was had by all:

Hey @smashmouth – sorry we let our competitive juices get the best of us. Tickets and a 1st pitch are on us anytime you're in the East Bay. pic.twitter.com/wfsKcBr1NW

— Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) October 29, 2016

@Athletics Lets do it!

— Smash Mouth (@smashmouth) October 29, 2016

Love Is In The Air! https://t.co/0A7ytoQxZe

I truly do not know what to say.
