Chron sports editors strike again

The Chronicle hastily posted this dispatch from Brian McTaggart earlier:

Jason Lane, optioned to Class AAA Round Rock at the All-Star break, rejoined the Astros on today at Minute Maid Park to take the roster spot of Orlando Palmeiro, whose father died late Tuesday.

Palmeiro was given bereavement leave, which will allow him to be away from the team for three to seven days. Lane got a phone call from Round Rock manager Jackie Moore at 1:30 p.m. today and was told to be at Minute Maid Park by game time.

Lane arrived at 5:15 p.m. and took a few cuts in the batting age in between exchanging hugs with teammates. He was not the starting lineup.

On today?

The batting age?

Not the starting lineup (he's not even a single Major League ball player, let alone nine)!

Does anybody edit the sports pages?
