It started yesterday: The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art began gathering “players” to create a lineup of museums in support of the San Francisco Giants, posting updates, rally calls, cheers, and jibes on a new Twitter feed. Now, the Kimbell Museum has responded to the call, gathering Dallas-Fort Worth museums to create a lineup of institutions standing strong in support of your Texas Rangers. You can follow action on the new #MuseumRangers feed. What this all means, I have no idea, but in a bold show of intimidation, the Kimbell linked to Michelangelo Buonarroti’s painting, “The Torment of St. Anthony,” warning, perhaps, that St. Francis By the Bay could be in store for a similar fate.

As shown in last night’s game, SFMOMA and the #MuseumGiants are unstoppable. In related news, Chuck Norris is changing the name of his old show to, “Walker, SF Giant” in honor of the winning team.
Best,
@SFMOMA
PS: much love to our Texan museum cousins who are making the world series an even more exciting experience with their tweets :)
Oh, I see how it is, you have to come and Barry McGee that stuff on our site. Chuck Norris would be in the stands supporting the Rangers, but when he drops the claw, your city has earthquakes. Chuck cares.
