OCTOBER 17--It's not exactly "Dewey Defeats Truman," but The New York Post made a colossal error today on its editorial page. The paper somehow printed an editorial bemoaning last night's Yankees loss to the Boston Red Sox, noting that the "Curse of the Bambino boomeranged this year" and that the Bronx Bombers "couldn't get the job done at home." The editorial concluded, "Wait'll next year!" Obviously, the Post piece was drafted while the Yanks were trailing the Sox, but was--unbelievably--not yanked when the club tied the game in the eighth inning and won it on Aaron Boone's walkoff home run in the 11th.

Hey sorry to bother you, but I meant this to be Editorial, not frontpage. That and trying to get things posted to "chat" are something I havent figured out yet.
To: RedBloodedAmerican

Got quicktime? Check
this out.
BTW the announcer said he did something wrong, which he didn't do. It was fan territory. Nice spin by ESPN.

I just looked at my Post and its not in there. I guess the third shift made up for the egregious error of the second shift.

His face at the end there is just classic.
I knew it was Captain Jenks the moment he opened his mouth. He usually doesn't take so long to get to the point, but that just made it funnier.
Nothing like spending two minutes on air with a phoney phone call.

Can you lip read?
Seriesly, sound worked on this end. Wodner what the difference is?
To: RedBloodedAmerican
Almost as bad as that, but on the Boston end, was the shot of workers painting the World Series logo behind home plate at Fenway before game 7 even started. Sure, they were just preparing for the possibility. But it makes you look overconfident and cocky, like the Cubs fans on Waveland Avenue who were pouring beer on each other in celebration before that eight-run eighth in game 6.
