Unfortunate Team Hashtags

Every year, thousands of well-intending Twitter users will slip their tweets unknowingly into a baseball Twitter search. For those like myself who leave a Tweetdeck search column running, I have the pleasure of encountering these non sequitur tweets. I’ve compiled a few, and graciously omitted those I see annually in my Chicago #Bears feed.

#Rays

I JUST WANTED BASEBALL NEWS. stop. CANNOT BE UNSEEN. stop. SEND HELP. stop.

Well, there might be some overlap there.

And now fans of the Tampa Bay Rays know she’s cool too.

🙁

More often than not, these are the misplaced photos in a #Rays Twitter search: Replacement level sunset photos.

#Angels

O_O

:'(

Doctor Who fears, anyone?

I just want baseball news!!!

#Mariners

Wow. Actual mariners.

#Rangers

Yup. Welcome to a trifecta of sports. I call it — wait for it — the Rangers Zone.

Also:

Go home Englishmen. You’re most definitely drunk.

#Pirates

Oh yeah! Now we’re talking!

Whelp. I’m pretty sure this makes #Pirates the coolest place for tweets to get lost.

#Reds

I don’t — um… Is this supposed to happen in rugby? They don’t seemed to be bothered that this gentleman has just seen through time or perhaps released his bowels, so I’m guessing it’s normal.
