There Are No Big Words In This Blog Entry

How to trash-talk the non-Mariner AL team of your choice, courtesy of Lookout Landing. His Angels spec:
For Novices: Rally Monkey, anti-intellectual bandwagon fan base, ballpark environment best characterized as vaguely pedophilic
For Veterans: Laughable Darin Erstad extension, worship of productive outs, Jered Weaver's weight/appearance/talent, Mike Scioscia acting like a little bitch, 1995
Avoid Mentioning: Recent success, big words
I'll find a rejoinder just as soon as I look up the word "pedophilic"...

I know you are joking but considering that pedophilic means "child loving" (unless he meant "foot loving" which is called something different and has not bee diagnosed), it makes you wonder what he means. Are the people who work at Angels Stadium very young? Are there pictures of little children everywhere? Or maybe he means that it caters toward little kids? Because the other use of pedophilic means it caters to sexual predators which I'm sure Moreno would disapprove of.
 
Someone in Seattle probably saw the CF rock fountain and some old Disney signage and concluded the stadium had more of a fantasyland resemblance than it truly does. Talk all the smack you want Mary-ner, but talk to the trophy, talk to the jewelry, talk to the Championship banner, the AL pennant and the five divsional title flags in the outfield.
 
Aw, c'mon, Rev. Think about the Strike Force girls or whatever they're called, and the OC Lolita-types they trot out nightly to sing the National Anthem, and the tight t-shirts and shorts they wear. At least, that's what I thought of when I saw the word pedophilic.
 
If they are referencing the Strike Force Girls, than the word is ephebophilia, but perhaps the Mary-ner fans are the more monosyllabic prone.
 
I fail to see how mentioning Jered Weaver's talent would be a good line of attack. In case they didn't notice (and they're Mariners fans, so that's a good possibility), Jered was pretty good last year.

Felix Hernandez - 96 OPS+ last year
Jered Weaver - 171 OPS+ last year.
