Worst Chron.com headline ever
We've occasionally commented on the Chronicle's terrible headline writing.
Sometimes, however, a picture is more instructive than anything we might write.
Memo to the Chron.commies: Maybe the final score in the headline should actually match the box score.
Just a little friendly advice from your friends at blogHOUSTON!
Oh, and Go 'Stros, 4-3 winners against those Cardinals!
UPDATE: I can't make sense of the conclusion to the article:
But Lamb had also played well this postseason - he's not hitting .429 (6-for-14) with hits in all four playoff games in which he's appeared. Plus, he was 5-for-14 with three homers in his career against Morris going into the game. Willy Taveras sat instead, with Burke making just his second start of the season in center field. Berkman played left.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
What in the world does that first quoted paragraph even mean?
Best guess: The Associated Press "contributed" to the parts of the report that are grammatically correct and make sense. The messes are courtesy of the Chron.commies.
UPDATE 2: More Chron.commie goodness, from John Lopez:
Ballgame. Three games to two and the Astros are in control.
Sorry, but the Astros are up two games to one.
Is everyone affiliated with the sports desk at 801 Texas Avenue drunk tonight?
UPDATE 3: Chron.com corrected the score (finally, after HOURS), and Lopez updated his blog gaffe (and didn't approve the trackback we sent). Whitewash, Chron.commie style!
UPDATE 4 (10-16-2005 CLARIFICATION): Chron.com informs they never saw a trackback ping from this blog last night. Technically, UPDATE 3 above is not inaccurate, since the trackback we sent was not approved. Apparently, however, it was also not received, making it impossible to approve. The technology sometimes is not perfect (we've had to disable trackback here due to spam, for example).
