OT: Trade in one word: Cash (Word Cloud)
Posted: Sat Jan 22, 2011 10:33 pm
I did word clouds for Angels fans’ reactions to the Vernon Wells trade at Halos Heaven and Jays fans’ reactions at Bluebird Banter. I don’t think I’ll need to tell you which is which. (Right Click on them to view full image as RealGM cuts them off.)
As you know with these things, the bigger the word the more it was used.
My favorite word from the Jays’ chart: Jedi-Like. My favorite from the Angels’ side is Splash, obviously. I also like how Angels fans see this as a pitiful replacement for a Crawford signing, while Jays fans see it as a possible (though unlikely) precursor to an Albert Pujols signing. “AA” is Jays’ GM Alex Anthopoulos, who — judging from the reaction to this deal — will be the next Mayor of Toronto if he wants to be.
And, yes, a well-known profanity would have been massive — massive — had I included it on the Angels’ cloud.
