At least he waited until the sixth paragraph

Ronald Blum of AP covered the debut at Citi Field, and for resasons unknown to me, dropped this pile of ick way up in the story:


"The Mets have won just a pair of World Series titles, in 1969 and 1986, and remain overshadowed by the Yankees, who have a record 26 championships. Even in ballparks there�s one-upmanship � on Thursday, the new $1.5 billion granite-and-limestone Yankee Stadium hosts its first regular-season game, just three days after $800 million Citi Field, with its red brick exterior and 160-foot wide Jackie Robinson Rotunda evokes Brooklyn�s old Ebbets Field. "


Incredible

Yeah, the Mets only having an $800,000,000 stadium really affects my ability to sustain an erection.

The real issue is that there's a missing comma or dash or something, as that last sentence doesn't make sense.

It was that bad. This could be something for your downfall of journalism thread. Later

I wish the Yankees all the best in their new federal building/post office.

Wonder if he has an entrance song? Better not pick "Sandman" or Francesa's gonna be upset.
