    Saw this hed the other day:

    "Jackets lose 2-3 to Bruins in overtime"

    Although the Jackets are the home team, shouldn't the score always be written from high to low? Like this:

    "Jackets lose 3-2 to Bruins in overtime"

    The hipster on the desk wrote it. Then he left early because he heard his pub had received a new shipment of Narragansett in time for the Arsenal-Chelsea match.

    Why do people ask questions they already know the answers to? Just sigh and move on. It saves a lot of time.

    It's one situation where the lack of teeth is actually a good thing, or so I hear.
