I have never heard of Bumblebee Man :(

That Lisa comparison is terrible. Everyone hates the Red Sox who isn't a Red Sox fans. The Cubs are the lovable losers.

YOU CALL THIS JOURNALISM YOU BIASED CUNTS

Ha!

Lisa Simpson = Oakland!

I would concur, DR. Then who is Boston? Superintendent Chalmers (feared but often ineffectual)?

Obv Boston is Homer (after the crayon is removed from his brain.)

Boston = GRIMEY. Inexplicably appreciated by some, hated by everyone who can see straight.

If this article managed to incorporate comics and Virginia Woolf, I think Leeee would've keeled over.

White Sox = Mrs. Dalloway, whose glory days were far in the past and who currently feels overshadowed by a flashier and more dynamic friend.

― Leeeeeeee (Leee), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:18 (twenty years ago)

Angels = Orlando. Subversion of identity politics through constant recasting of identification (gender roles, California/Anaheim/Los Angeles).

― Leeeeeeee (Leee), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:22 (twenty years ago)

Atlanta = Superman. Nothing if not consistently excellent, though very consistency leads many admirers to take them for granted. Often overshadowed by edgier ally when it counts (Batman, any team in the playoffs).

Well played, sir.

yeah, Barstool is some horrible local rag that's always festooned with slutty bikini babes lounging on barstools.

Last fall I caused a mental breakdown in a co-worker when I tried to explain how most people outside of Boston don't like the Sox. She refused to believe me and started to cry. But only out of one eye, because the other one is made out of glass.

Actually, does a glass eye impact the tear duct?

I don't know but I look forward to where this derailment could lead.
