SALT IN THE WOUND: That was a real nice touch, Fox, putting the picture of a winking Babe Ruth on the screen as the broadcast ended. Might as well have had a still photo of Clemens giving the finger to Boston. Or Byung-Yung Kim, for that matter.
The New York Post, meanwhile, has taken to calling the Sox ace "Punk Pedro," which joins "The Bloviator," "Hot-blooded Hotel Heiress," "Doyenne/Diva of Domesticity," "Techno Titan," and "Portly Prince of Porn" in the pantheon of classic Post nicknames. (Bonus points for anyone who can identify who each one refers to).
Speaking of the Post- in some editions, they actually published the "Yankees lost" editorial! This would be like the President accidentally making a "we lost the war" speech after they loaded the wrong one in the TelePromTer.
