“PHILADELPHIA — The Yankees are nine innings away from returning to a place Derek Jeter and others firmly believe a season is a failure if they don’t.”
Worst.Lede.Ever. WTF? Now, I get that this is the NY Post and not the NY Times, but could you still try to write a coherent lede?
Yay! New York’s sportball team has won another sportball match! They did some great sportball things and now move on to a bigger spot in the sport contests, or something.
If the Yankees win, will there be a TARP tape parade down Wall Street?
U! S! A! If I were a Kenyan marathoner, I’d hire Oily Taints as my lawyer and demand to see the winner’s birf certificate!
BeWoot: Perhaps a ticker-TARP parade.
Quit stalling and put the Halloween pictures up!
Democracy … ’stan-style! One AK-47, one vote!
The poor 30-ish people! But I’m not worried. Due to my birthday two months ago, I’m now 40-ish, and thus safe.
Would someone please buy Ms. Clinton some new clothes? Looked like she wore the same scarf and outfit the whole time.
Not surprising, really… Cabbies know all of the fastest routes around NYC.
cool, my heroin prices will stay under $3 a gallon.
Fuck MLB! Especially the Yankees!
Ford’s salvation came via Microsoft’s SYNC and America’s insatiable appetite for gadgetry. Their vehicles are still shitty. Have you filled up a Ford lately?
There’s just way too much explosives in the world. Who’s making this shit anyway?
Monsieur Grumpe: Nobel prizes don’t pay for themselves.
Interesting that you blow yourself up near banks to kill service members in Pakistan.
Here, you’d only do that if the bank was next door to a strip club and a storefront offering 30-day paycheck loans at 25% interest.
Why is Ford being so unAmerican as to turn a profit under a Democrat? They need to help Rush Limbaugh help Obama fail.
Aflac Shrugged: … Yakov?
Of course, if I were a bitter poor from Philly, I’d hate the Yankees too!
(ducks)
I’d hate to earn a billion dollars and still not consider myself profitable. Something wrong with that math.
Phillies need a bailout. Also.
Screw the Yankees. Roma beat B-o-l-o-g-n-a, 2-1 & are only 5 points from 4th place.
hobospacejunkie:
The Serie A is sooo [i]noioso[/i]. You need to get yourself sorted (with the EPL).
AKAM80TheWolf:
Curse my poor reverse html skillz.
hobospacejunkie: Yes please, (especially Jeter)!
Why doesn’t the USA get footie the way, oh…I don’t know…THE REST OF THE WORLD does?
The Yankees are nine innings away from returning to a place Derek Jeter and others firmly believe a season is a failure if they don’t.
I kinda sorta get the gist of the idea the writer is trying to express. My question is: are NY Post columnists actively receiving bonuses or something for committing the worst violations of grammar?
Glad to hear that Ford churned out a billion by “cutting manufacturing costs,” and with it, that pesky quality control is finally out of the way entirely. I imagine the Fords’ innovative re-engineering of the Detroit Lions was their model.
Can we just declare Kate Hudson the winner and go home before we have to endure any more “news” from the Post?
I think a good story that you missed is the Bears won yesterday even though they weren’t playing football!
