From the article:

quote:
The geography of major league baseball leaves the Seattle Mariners without a natural rival, one that provokes visceral reactions in the region much as the St. Louis Cardinals do on Chicago's North Side.

Until Major League Baseball sheds its negative stereotypes of the Northwest and locates a franchise in Portland, the Mariners will never enjoy the rabid rivalry that transfixes New York and Boston during summer.

But given the talent makeup of the American League West, it's clear that the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are the next best thing to an epic battle along Interstate 5.

Hey, it's still an I-5 battle --- it's just a 22 hour drive instead of a 3 hour drive.
