After the Marlins made a reference to the Rays exploration of possibly splitting games between Tampa Bay and Montreal, the Rays shot back with a reminder that they had just swept Miami in a two-game series. The Marlins responded: yOURE LITERALLY THE ANIMAL THAT KILLED STEVE IRWIN LOG OFF. Irwin was filming a documentary series in the waters along the Great Barrier Reef when he was killed in a stingray attack in 2006. The 44-year-old Australian had become a popular figure on the television show The Crocodile Hunter, in which he displayed a boyish enthusiasm about wildlife and interacted at perilously close range with a wide assortment of animals. Among those who took issue with the Irwin tweet was former Marlins president David Samson. Yes I was fired, but the person responsible for this tweet should be sitting right next to me and would be were I still there," Samson wrote on Twitter. "Lets hope [Miami Marlins CEO Derek] Jeter is actually paying attention. Inexcusable, even by Twitter standards. On Monday, the Marlins apologized on Twitter. Like everyone who grew up watching him, we miss Steve. Were so sorry to have made light of his passing," the team said on Twitter. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:925681518] in Miami Marl...

I mean I always knew he'd eat it one day via some animal because he was always fucking with them and had anything but respect for them. Just figured it would be a gator or some rhino trampling him. --- FFVII Remake: A disaster in the making.
