Someone over at Fox Sports got their teams confused. With the World Baseball Classic final between the U.S. and Puerto Rico about to start Wednesday night, the @MLBONFOX account tweeted that it all comes down to this: the U.S. and…Japan?
Of course, the U.S. beat Japan last night to advance to the final. The MLB on Fox account quickly deleted the tweet, but not before getting a bunch of replies:

The account then followed that advice, deleting the old tweet about Japan and sending the exact same tweet with Puerto Rico:

Which got them limited internet kudos:
But, this all could have been avoided if they’d only read their own account’s tweet from last night:

Mistakes happen, of course, but this is a pretty embarrassing one.
