Maybe Magic Johnson has a bad intern.

Maybe he couldn't figure out his autotweet feature.

Or maybe … well, we don’t know.

But almost any reason would be better than simply not knowing when the team you own plays its games. That’s apparently what happened Sunday, when the Dodgers co-owner tweeted a rallying cry for fans to cheer on the home team as they took on the Pirates in their series finale.

Only problem: He sent the tweet three hours after the Dodgers lost 4-3.

Johnson later deleted the tweet, with no explaination, but nothing ever really leaves Twitter.

Johnson did know what time to attend another sporting event, however.

But that only made the Twitter taunts worse.

Come on, Magic.

PSA: The next Dodgers home game is 7:05 p.m. local time Monday. Seven-0-Five. 

But maybe have someone double-check your draft before you hit "tweet."
