Sweet, sweet schadenfreude

Even HH admits that bandwagoners are not only plentiful in Anaheim, but also cheap! A good read for anyone who hates the Halos. (Or, more specifically, their fans.) It's one of the most ridiculous stories I've read lately, and I'd be shocked if it didn't qualify for a major newspaper feature.

Call me naive or biased, but I just don't see that kinda stuff happening in Boston, regardless of the metric shit-tons of all-of-a-sudden fan support.

Maybe we just have stricter return policies out here.

Shush.

Or I’ll flip a coin and maybe beat you up too. Or get beat up. 50/50.

So he could beat you up?

by Fett42 on Oct 8, 2008 6:00 PM PDT up reply actions

At this point it's a coin flip

by Jeff Sullivan on Oct 8, 2008 6:07 PM PDT up reply actions

Very diplomatic of you...

..for both the exemption and this response.

I guess coin-flipping runs in the family.

Like this Klitschko poster?

That's probably the best entry Rev's written in a long time too

by Gomez on Oct 8, 2008 1:24 PM PDT reply actions

I was thinking that too.

I almost feel sorry for him.

Nah…I don’t.

That’s probably the ~~best~~ only good entry Rev’s ever written ~~in a long time~~ too

I gave him the benefit of the doubt because I haven't read enough of his stuff to make that definitive a claim

by Gomez on Oct 8, 2008 3:22 PM PDT up reply actions

Except for the fact that it's made up and completely retarded.

You can verify this

by Gomez on Oct 8, 2008 4:41 PM PDT up reply actions

I've decided I hate the Rev's fandom, opinions on baseball and blog...

…but having learned more about his life outside of HH (and his fantastic musical tastes) I think he’s a pretty cool guy.

Hasn't Jeff always said that how he acts on HH is just that, an act, meant to cater to the idiots over there?

by Goose on Oct 8, 2008 5:24 PM PDT up reply actions

Yes

I refuse to believe this unless HH is some sort of elaborate joke.

It's not a joke

it’s just the easiest way to reach the Angel fanbase.

by Jeff Sullivan on Oct 8, 2008 6:36 PM PDT up reply actions

My feeling is that a cool person would never lower their self to such a standard.

by JI on Oct 8, 2008 6:37 PM PDT up reply actions

HH simply has idiot commenters.

I don’t know all that much about the quality of their writers though.

I meant writers as in the people who run the blog.

It's easier to be an idiot then to be intelligent

If all he has to do is be an idiot to win over his readers and community, why would he do anything more?

It’s survival of the fittest.

In the M’s blogosphere blogs written by idiots die off because nobody reads them because there are blogs not written by idiots. In the Angels blogosphere there aren’t, so a blog written by an idiot can thrive and survive.

He’s probably capable of more and he’s just not being challenged enough because his readers demand nothing from him.
