What. In. The. Actual. Hell.
The Miami Marlins CROSSED THE LINE in a stupid Twitter spat with the Tampa Bay Rays … saying, “YOU’RE LITERALLY THE ANIMAL THAT KILLED STEVE IRWIN.”
Dude. Really?!!?!?
So, why the hell would a Major League Baseball team invoke the name of a global treasure who was tragically killed by a real-life stingray in 2006???
Here’s the backstory …
The Marlins played the Rays on Saturday — and even though Miami lost, they posted a highlight showing right fielder Brian Anderson GUNNING a guy out at the plate in the 8th inning.
The Tampa Bay Rays social media team responded to the tweet saying, “Show the final out.” Quality burn.
Miami responded — taking a shot at Tampa Bay over possible plans for the Rays to become a 2-city team, splitting time between TB and Montreal.
Tampa Bay responded by essentially pointing to the score board … prompting Miami to send the most savage tweet in MLB history.
“yOU’RE LITERALLY THE ANIMAL THAT KILLED STEVE IRWIN LOG OFF.”
Tampa Bay — which won both games of their 2-game series with Miami — fired back, “You’re literally the team that just got swept, log off.”
Of course, Irwin — aka “The Crocodile Hunter” — was killed at age 44 when he was pierced in the heart by a stingray barb while filming an underwater documentary.
He left behind a wife and 2 children.
You stay classy, Miami.
