Bless. Chris Hayes was trying to totally sporty guy it up. But then this happened.
We are all Kansas Citizens.

–> The Royals play in Missouri, you wizard. You need to stop relying on those @MSNBC maps.

.@chrislhayes Dear God. You can't be that stupid. Kansas City Royals are from KCMO — not Kansas

The smartest mind at MSNBC clearly knows nothing about baseball, geography, or both. RT @chrislhayes We are all Kansas Citizens.

To be fair, it’s not really his fault.

Snicker.
Evidently, it was not just a lame attempt at “sporty guy,” but a lame attempt at a joke too.
@JGreenDC @NumbersMuncher @wupton it seems to have gone over the heads of *a lot* so perhaps not such a good joke.
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) October 1, 2014
@chrislhayes Ah… See it now. Haha. Ok. That is funny. City-zens. @JGreenDC @NumbersMuncher
— Will Upton (@wupton) October 1, 2014
@chrislhayes Totally joking, like when Pee Wee Herman flipped off the bike. #IMeantToDoThat. @JGreenDC @NumbersMuncher @wupton

@wupton @chrislhayes @JGreenDC @NumbersMuncher Yeah, sure, that's what he meant…

Heh.
Hayes ran for the waahm-bulance:
A barrage of the overly literal minded. Keep being you, #tcot.
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) October 1, 2014
Sigh.
.The Royals don't literally play in Missouri? RT @chrislhayes: A barrage of the overly literal minded. Keep being you, #tcot.

It means @_jenny867_5309, he didn't think to use it as an excuse until all the backlash.

Speaking of Vox … Hey, Hayes: You aren’t supposed to need a Vox ‘splainer for your “jokes.”

But there’s this:
@chrislhayes the gift that keeps on giving.
