Good news, dumb lede
Drayton McLane's cheerleader Jesus Ortiz reports good news for Astros fans:
The Astros have called a press conference for 4 p.m. today to announce the signing of slugging outfielder Carlos Lee, bringing optimism to Lee's new teammates.
It continues to amaze that professional reporters and editors produce such work for a major newspaper.
The big story is the signing of Lee, and THAT should have been the lede -- not the mental state of Lee's new teammates, as determined by one Jesus Ortiz.
UPDATE: The Astros also reached a deal with pitcher Woody Williams.
