The World Series finds Newsroom star Jeff Daniels and comedian Kevin Pollak at odds, and they’re airing their grievances with each other using—what else?—Twitter.

Daniels, an avowed Detroit Tigers fan, and San Francisco Giants’ devotee Pollak have been tweeting about their respective teams during the games. But somewhere along the way things got ugly between the men, and the results have been hilarious.

The feud’s origins are murky. It started off innocently enough, with Daniels tweeting that he and Pollak were the faces of their respective teams. 

I am MLB's Official Face Of The Detroit Tigers. Kevin Pollak is the same body part of the Giants. Commence twitting.

He even congratulated Pollak on the Giants’ good play in game one.

If @kevinpollak isn't hammered by now, I'm gonna start drinking for him.

Anticipation for game two saw some friendly trash talk come out.

@kevinpollak @sfgiants @mlb No Way, San Jose. 1-1 and bringin' it back to the D.

But Daniels seemed to get a little agitated during game two.

Love all the first timers SCREAMING...at a routine fly ball to CF. Was @kevinpollak one of them?

— Jeff Daniels (@Jeff_Daniels) October 26, 2012

Then when the Giants looked like they would win the second match up, things took a dark turn.

Dear God: Please arrange @kevinpollak to feel some of my pain. Amen.

— Jeff Daniels (@Jeff_Daniels) October 26, 2012

ouch! What the..... RT @jeff_daniels: Dear God: Please arrange @kevinpollak to feel some of my pain. Amen. @mlb

Daniels later mourned the Tigers’ loss of game two. 

— Jeff Daniels (@Jeff_Daniels) October 26, 2012

While I sincerely feel your life-long devoted-fan pain, @jeff_daniels, I remain in the smiling po-zish knowing my @sfgiants are the cause.

— Kevin Pollak (@kevinpollak) October 26, 2012

Daniels, perhaps dejected, did not tweet during game three, which his Tigers lost. Pollak had a few things to say, though.

Give 'em hell, men. Godspeed, @jeff_daniels. RT @sfgiants: We're Ready. Are you? #WinToday twitter.com/SFGiants/statu…

— Kevin Pollak (@kevinpollak) October 28, 2012

It begins... @sfgiants just keep hittin' that rock. #JeffDanielsorders3morebeers#WorldSeries #MLB.com
