The Mistakes Continue

The masochism in me often exacerbates the horror of sitting in traffic by tuning into the sports talk shows. My fault for listening, but in a vain attempt to stop the madness, let me cite two factual mistakes apiece made by Mike Francesa and Michael Kay yesterday.

Kay on ESPN New York stated that Joe Torre as Yankees manager lost in the first round of the playoffs in 4 straight years. It was in fact, three straight years from (2005-2007.)

Later he said “Vegas” projected 78 and a half wins for the Yankees when it was 81 or so.

Francesa on WFAN radio, stated the Mets came from 8 and a half games back to win the NL East in 1969 when it was nine and a half.

The team won 38 of 49 not 39 of 48 as Francesa thought. At a million dollars a year (an obscene amount) to do what so many wish they could and I know that I could, at least get your facts straight and/or look them up.
