There's still plenty of tension between Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Chase Utley and the New York Mets, going back to last year's playoffs when Utley broke Ruben Tejada's leg on a slide at second base. He got plenty of boos from the Citi Field crowd before Friday's game, and then Utley continued to torment Mets fans with a game-tying, bases-clearing double in the ninth inning later that night.

On Saturday, Mets starter Noah Syndergaardthrew a 99-mph fastball behind Utley in the third inning, which prompted the ejections of both Syndergaard and manager Terry Collins.

The Mets' Twitter account had its own perspective of that play:

What other fireworks can we expect between Utley and the Mets the rest of the weekend, and what other euphemisms will the team's Twitter use to describe them?
