I'm just waiting for the Make Benefit Glorious Squad to blow its lead. [/fantasybaseballloser]

Keep waiting.
 
Re: HEY AP! (UPDATED DUE TO CONTINUED PROCRASTINATION)

AP previewed this weekend's Yankees-Red Sox series Thursday. I did not see any preview for any other series.
 
Any chance of you moving some Braves-Dodgers photos? I know it's only the seventh inning and all ... >:(
 
Meanwhile, that might be the fastest I have ever seen NASCAR agate move on the wire after a race.
 
Nevertheless, I'm still lacking the Nextel lineup for tomorrow, which will inspire calls if we don't have it. I know y'all gotta count with your fingers and teeth and all, but get the lead out.

If it's anything like the NASCAR stories from today, make sure you read it close. I think the AP guy found some hooch in the Crown Royal hospitality room and helped himself. Oodles of mistakes, including calling the race the Crown Royal 400 (last year's name; this year it's the Jim Stewart 400).

And please allow me to add another AP rant. Is it so ****ing difficult to put together a nice, 13-inch, basic golf story?
I'm looking at you, Doug Ferguson.
I just slapped the golf capsule from the Wachovia Championship on the page without really looking at it. While proofreading, it struck me that not once in there did it mention Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh tied for the lead. The AP took Ferguson's usual 42-****ing-inch lead and chopped it to 6 for the capsule, without having any relevant capsule-type information.
Ugh.
I know the blame rests with the wire guy for that one. But damn, Dougie, cut us grunts a break.
Been done to death, I know, but I had to vent.

WHOOPS! *runs to re-send*
 
Loved how when the Rockies-Reds game went final tonight, we got a 15-inch story within a minute. Meanwhile, I still had only four inches on the Nets-Raptors game that had been done for more than 20 minutes.
 
Take all night on that LPGA agate. I can see how you'd need lots of extra time, what with the tournament being so far out West.

Edit: Kick ass. Don't tell me that doesn't work.
