You know a rivalry is fierce when one side pretends the other doesn't even exist.

On Thursday, the New York Mets posted a photo to Twitter of former starting pitcher Andy Pettitte hanging out at the MLB draft with Mets' Hall of Famer John Franco, but there was one problem.

While calling Pettitte a former Houston Astros pitcher isn't necessarily wrong, per se, it's not exactly the whole truth.

The crafty left-hander spent 15 years in the big leagues with the New York Yankees, as opposed to just three in Houston.

That's cold.
