I like my friends. Seriously, they're all wonderful people and without them I couldn't handle the high stress world of watching and writing about sports. That said, I don't need to spend all my time with them. They start to get annoying, and I'm sure I start to annoy them. Next thing you know we're breaking chairs over each other's heads because one of us saw that girl first.Apparently Mike Napoli and Jeff Mathis don't experience these kinds of things, because they are with each other all the time.
Mike Napoli and Jeff Mathis - the complete Angels kiddie catching corps - not only share a job, they share a home state and a bachelor pad.Okay, so they don't go to the bathroom at the same time, but nobody said anything about showering. So let's get that rumor started while we're at it.
Call them Mike Mathis or Jeff Napoli. What's the difference?
The two share so much time together that Napoli recently estimated they are with each other 23 hours a day. So what about that other hour? The bathroom. Napoli thankfully confirmed that at least they don't go to the restroom together.
The biggest kicker of all this? The man the two young catchers pay rent to is none other than their former teammate Adam Kennedy.
The Angels are just like family. One big, incestuous, shower sharing family.

It's more a combination of wrestling and macrame.

I think it's great that you guys like to invent your little homosexual fantasies to continue to drive your true passions in life. Just because these two guys don't live in the closet with you, doesn't give you reason to slam them (absolutely no pun intended). Hardworking ballplayers who don't deserve your ignorance. Sweet article Tom. How are things in Loserville?
