Marlins, Rays in funny Twitter fight

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.

It’s tough to top being able to tell your foe to log off because you just got swept.

These are two teams known more for their attendance issues than their on-field exploits. At the very least, maybe a fun Twitter beef can bring them some attention, especially for the struggling Marlins.
