If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
What happens when you're running on a tight sports deadline?
You make predictions sometimes -- every sports department at newspapers has probably done it. But this big of a screw up is horrible. So horrible it's funny. Friday's New York Post published an editorial in their print edition that said:
Despite holding a 3-2 lead in games over the Boston Red Sox, the Yankees couldn't get the job done at home; their season ended last night in the seventh game of the American League Championship Series.
Needless to say, the goof-up was the talk of New York, with the New York Daily News making fun of them. For the NY Post, this was a big screw up, as they make their paychecks pointing out flaws in others -- and they know this, so they're making sure it doesn't happen again.
