Tired Joke Watch '09
Jason Gay of the Wall Street Journal referred to us as the "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California of the West Coast of the United States"
Yes, we get it. Our name doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. You'd think with a last name like his, he'd be a little more sympathetic towards such lame, adolescent barbs.
Sports writers of the world, you've had your fun. Can we put this one to rest?

So tired even Jason Gay is recycling it! From July:
“We spent a hot Saturday afternoon watching Fox’s nationally televised romp between the New York Yankees and the tersely rechristened Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of Orange County of California of the United States of Earth.”
Saving countless runs with my defense.

And the irony
The Bronx Yankees poaching the name of … hmmm, is that their state? Their city … which is an umbrella name for five geographic regions? They only did it for market share…

Yeah, but haven't they ALWAYS been the New York Yankees? I.e., before such things as market-share existed?
RIP Nick Adenhart.
