Subject: The P-G's page one sports obsession

Are you kidding me? The Pirates lose a game 17-2 on Friday and the P-G puts the story on page one above the fold?

The Pirates are terrible. They've been terrible for 16 years. Their being terrible doesn't qualify as news. It's status quo. Doesn't matter if you lose by a lopsided score, because that's the nature of baseball. They lost games 10-0 and 16-3 in the 1960 World Series and still won.

Somebody there is convinced that sports stories belong on page one. In a lot of cases, like this one, they're wrong.
