Friday, July 29, 2005Angels 4, Yanks 1Here we go again. The annual purge has begun. It's been popping up in forums and in my inbox, especially over the past week. The keepers of the flame have convened and decided that those of us who are not true believers in the cult of Angel fandom, those who dare to criticize - the impure, the unsanctified - are not true fans. Fuck that. I root for my team to win, every night. That's all that's required of a fan. Am I a vocal supporter, showering our boys in praise over every small accomplishment? No. Do I accentuate the negative much of the time? Yes. Admittedly it's one of my worst qualities. But I'm not going to have my bona fides questioned for the simple fact that I don't sleep clutching a Rally Monkey at night. And in regards to the accusation that my opinions shift with the ebb-and-flow of the season: Well, that just don't hold water, folks. The archives are on the bottom-left. Take a gander and you'll find that my tone and criticisms haven't changed since day one - just as it won’'t change tonight. Comments:It's true. I have read every one of Richard's posts this year and he has hated Steve Finley and OC in just about every one of them (or at least their acquisitions). He has been scared of our bullpen the whole time and he has been unconvinced that the starting pitching is really this good. He has even admitted when he was wrong a few times. |
