Mayors of San Francisco and New York City talk smack on Twitter ahead of NL wild-card game

It started as a tweet from the mayor of San Francisco's Twitter account wishing the San Francisco Giants luck in Wednesday's NL wild-card game. But things quickly spiraled into smack talk and a bet that could shake up one of the mayors' Halloween plans.

Mayor Ed Lee tweeted saying he was rooting for the Giants.

A few minutes later, New York City mayor Bill de Blasio responded with his first jab in support of the New York Mets.

Prediction: @Mets will prevail over @SFGiants tonight.
