LA Clippers' Opening Day tweet will have Dodgers fans heated

Before Opening Day games kicked off on Thursday, other professional sports teams sent their well-wishes to their home city's ball clubs. The Rams, LAFC, and the Clippers all sent messages of support to the Dodgers, but the Clippers also conspicuously shouted out another NL West squad — the Padres — which immediately got them clowned on in their replies.

To be fair, it was pretty obvious that the Clippers admin was all-sides-ing; their official account also quote tweeted the Angels' and then the Dodgers' lineup with the same "good luck" message as they dropped, but it was most egregious to send a message to one of Dodgers' fiercest rivals.

San Diego doesn't have an NBA team — in fact, the Los Angeles Clippers were once the San Diego Clippers from 1978-1984 before then-owner Donald Sterling moved the team to LA. The Clippers' G League team moved to San Diego last year, but they haven't had a fully fledged basketball team since 1984.

The Clippers were a plainly awful squad when they played in San Diego (though, to be fair, they were terrible years after their move to LA), but it seems that someone on that admin team still has some fondness for city, or maybe just wanted to throw them a bone.

LA Clippers send well wishes to Angels, Dodgers, but also the Padres ahead of Opening Day

The Dodgers won their Opening Day game against the Tigers, but so did the Padres down the road. They went back and forth with the Braves through four innings in what was actually a pretty exciting ball game, before new Padre Gavin Sheets belted a solo homer in the seventh to kickstart a rally for San Diego that had them winning the game 7-4.

It might seem easy to roast and underestimate the Padres after their lackluster offseason and with all of their ownership woes, but it'd be foolish for anyone, especially the Dodgers, to underestimate them. The Diamondbacks and Pads will fight hard for second place and the Dodgers could see either in the postseason, even though it's basically a given the Dodgers rule the division.

So, sure, if the Clippers want to appease as broad an audience as possible, they can go for it. They were 2-for-3 on well-wishes on Thursday, as the Angels suffered a completely mortifying blowout at the hands of the Chicago White Sox while Mike Trout took a pitch to the hand. You can't win 'em all.
