First, a fair warning from me, your happy-go-lucky correspondent: This is only loosely related to baseball and it's mostly about a pair of TV shows.

Another and perhaps more important warning: If you don't want any "Breaking Bad" or "Better Call Saul" spoilers, you better get outta here now, even if just to be safe. I won't be holding back.

Anyway, this is a fun offseason distraction, at least for fans of the two shows. As many BB fans know, the latter show, which is a spinoff/prequel to "Breaking Bad," is now three episodes in on AMC. Let's get to the Twitter smackdown.

First, the account of the Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers sent the following:

As those of us up to date on both shows know, Saul had to change his identity at the end of "Breaking Bad" and ended up -- just as he had jokingly foreseen -- managing a Cinnabon in Omaha. I do love the fewer cartels remark.

[NOTE: This is all in good fun from both Twitter accounts, but for the purposes of this blog entry, let's just pretend we're all serious and everything]

Otherwise, it's a bit odd. First of all, New Mexico still houses pretty much all of both TV series. Secondly, as the Albuquerque Isotopes will note, the Storm Chasers don't even play in Omaha.

The Storm Chasers tried to make up some ground, but ...

Yeah, that's a reach. Yes, Saul Goodman is a pseudonym for Mr. McGill in both series, but the Storm Chasers haven't changed their name from the Papillion Storm Chasers originally. They actually were the Omaha Royals and changed that part, but it didn't have anything to do with where they play.

Still, the ball is in the court of the Isotopes, since they've been accused of losing a fictional season ticket holder.

BOOM. You took Saul, that's cool. We still have Walt, Jesse and Mike.

Where to turn, Omaha? You only had like a two-minute long intro in "Better Call Saul," you know.

How about on-field action?

Winning the Pacific Coast League title in Albuquerque. Solid effort. Take that, 'Topes.

Some of the "Breaking Bad" cast in uniform (long live Gomey!). That's a stout comeback, though an obvious swerve from discussing how the Storm Chasers owned the Isotopes in the 2012 postseason.

Still, I'm scoring this one a knockout for Albuquerque overall. The Omaha tie-in is loose and short-lived here. It's like the Rays trying to claim Wade Boggs as their guy.
