Baseball

One of the things I love about baseball is the utter inability of sports writers to consider a headline to a non-sports person. One of my personal favourites was a headline last year during a series between Toronto and New York which was trying to describe how one of the Yankee's top pitchers, Chin-Ming Wang had been out-dueled by Roy 'Doc' Halladay, and moving on to play the LA Angel, the Angels had decided to start Bartolo Colon against them. Headline in the NY Daily Post?

Halladay beats Wang; Angel's prep Colon for visitors

But, I have to be honest, I think the Blue Jays just beat it. I mean, fucking hell, even I'm a little more discrete about my sexual activities.
