I mean the Seattle Times is so APish in their writing and have so few articles about the M's that I even wonder why read their articles. On a side note: remember when both papers used to do farm reports and other tidbits weekly? I doubt we'll ever see that again Well, at least Moore had the guts to print something that goes against the FO PR.

Even Felix, while somewhat disappointing, hasn't been "Oh my god, I wanna kill myself, I wish we had Sele and Franklin back" disappointing.

Blech. Not Mexican, not good, barely food at all. Try the taco truck up in the McDonald's parking lot near Northgate, or Chili Pepper in Wallingford, or the run-down joint in Shelton, or several places in Yakima, or best of all, Muy Macho in South Park. There are ten thousand Mexican restaurants in WA better than Mama's. Friggin' Guadalajara is better than Mama's. Mama’s is “the best Mexican food in the state”? Blech.

Maybe we've been completely misjudging Moore. Perhaps his articles are actually allegories about other subjects entirely, which is why they make so little sense when read literally. He's <i>really</i> writing about Freddy's recent problems. White Sox. White Foot. Rabbit Foot. White Rabbit. Now it all becomes clear. I am the walrus. 22: Whoah.
