MLB Loves NY

More proof that Major League Baseball loves New York:

Check out this article, titled "Mets Topple Baseball-best Brewers." The first sentence is "The Mets got their first look at the best record in baseball on Friday night, and they immediately defaced it."

With such a title and such an opening sentence, I assumed the score was 8-0. Maybe 17-3. But with "topple" and "immediately defaced" together, I figured it would have to have been 25- -2, called in the fifth inning because the entire Milwaulkie team was screaming crying for their mommies.

But it turns out the final was 5-4. I guess I forgot the National Media and the professional sports leagues love New York too much to let something as trivial as facts get in the way of their descriptions of games.
