So maybe y'all already knew this but I didn't: to go along with their Dodger inferiority complex, those hilarious Angel fans are fixated on Seattle, the M's, and Ichiro! in particular. Yeah I'm spending too much time trolling enemy territory but it's hilarious.  For actual content, LL/USSM is Ken Wilber to the Angel blogosphere's Curious George, but I hate LAx2 so I'm enjoying the schadenfreude opportunity.

AL WEST
TEAM            W    L       STK      GB
Angels             63     44         W1       --
Seattchiro       59       47         W1      3.5
Choakland       51     58         L1      13.0
Dallas             48     60         L1      5.5

"Seattchiro"?.  It's not even an insult, and now I realize it wasn't intended to be.  

The linked article isn't anything new to the average Seattle fan, but it's an eye-opening revelation to these rubes...



"That article changed my opinion on him

I used to hate him and he irritated the fuck out of me.  Now I just think he's hilarious, with a 60% chance of bat-shit-loco."

"He does seem funny...

and I like how he thinks highly of Carl Lewis... I thought everybody had forgotten him!"

"Even though he's the enemy

I love this dude's style.  

I didn't find half of the quotes in the article to be as 'bat shit crazy' as the author claimed them to be.  We're just so used to pro athletes regurgitating (sp?) the same tired cliches over and over to the media that when a player like Ichiro comes along, people notice more."

"Blame?

Ichiro is operating on a plane us mortals can't understand. I loved this article...."

As to the pennant race, they continue to convince themselves that the M's are chokers and LAA will never lose another game.  Good luck with that bitches.
