VIA LarryBrownSports: It’s become customary for team Twitter accounts to become a bit less professional and more playful in recent years, and the Miami Marlins’ and Tampa Bay Rays’ social media teams got in on the action Sunday.
The Rays swept the Marlins in the in-state rivalry, which led to the Marlins trying to crack some jokes in the face of the Rays’ gloating.
The Rays with a harmless rebuttal...
Miami replies with a joke about Montreal Split-Seasons, which was funny, sure...
the next one from Tampa Bay is a deep honest burn...
then an angry Social Media intern loses their mind and tweets something a professional organization should never hit "send" on...
the Rays took the high road with another honest tweet, all in good fun...
