Please give credit where credit is due

A copy editor at the Daily News apparently reads RAB. Check out a headline from today:

Ian Kennedy’s shaping up as Yanks’ mini-Mussina

How long has Mike been calling him Mini-Moose? Yeah, thanks for stealing, Mr. Copy Editor. We can’t wait until the media starts calling him IPK.

I read that article this morning over a bowl of Rice Krispies and thought the same thing. Bastards!!

You guys know the post formatting is inconsistent, right?

Ben K. says:

This is an aside. Much like the asides on the old layout, it displays differently. Large posts get the full treatment. Asides get the aside treatment. I guess we never really made that clear.

Jersey says:

Aha, didn’t realize that.

Oh, and it doesn’t stop there. Check out the second line in this Pete Abe post.

ShawnT says:

Yeah but Pete Abe has thing for using full names it was only a matter of time, sometimes he poststhe whole line up using whole names that was kinda foreseen

what can you expect from the daily news– the same company that employs professional HACK & Drunk Bill Madden… I would call him the worse sports writer in NYC if he didn’t have so much competition(yes, I’m talking to you Joel Sherman & others)

would it have killed these papers to recognise in one sentence that a popular Yankee blog has been calling IPK mini-moose for months? would have been the decent thing to do…

what am I saying, christ, could never expect that— this is the same class act that paid a bribe to illegally get pictures of a dead John Lennon and then put them on the cover

Gotta love NY sometimes

 
EJ says:

Not only that, but they stole the quote about Mussina’s stretch move from Scout.com.
