Hunter's got his mind on the 2012 London Games. Watch out Phelps!

Torii Hunter put on goggles, got on the clubhouse floor and began doing the butterfly and backstroke in a puddle of beer and champagne.

Hunter and the Los Angeles Angels had plenty to celebrate Wednesday. They became the first team in the majors to clinch a playoff spot this season by winning their fourth AL West title in five years.

“I love it. I’m Michael Phelps,” Hunter bellowed, invoking the Olympic swimmer who won eight gold medals in Beijing. “This is what it’s all about.”

Now if you’re going to praise the total amazingness that is Michael Phelps, that’s one thing. He did something in the Beijing Games that no one else has done in history. If you’re going to claim that you yourself are Michael Phelps, you better be able to back up the fact that you’re pretty fucking awesome.

In this case, Hunter has proof that he and his teammates are pretty stellar, as they clinched the NL West the earliest in MLB history (Sept. 17 was the previous record). Should the Angels win the World Series, he can tell Michael Phelps to lick his nuts if he wants.

What is completely unacceptable, however, is to compare yourself to Michael Phelps when you’re fucking crazy. Exhibit A: Chad Javon OchoCinco Johnson, who said he could beat Phelps in a race — in the WATER! This crazy dude isn’t even the best player in the sport that he gets paid millions to play. But he thinks he can win an Olympic gold medalist in the pool.

Do us a favor Ocho. Call up Hunter and ask him how to be funny while calling himself God. He’s better at it than you are.
