Sloppy Writing and Editing at the Post-Dispatch

I've been busy for the past couple of weeks and have not had the time to post. But, a sloppy, sloppy error in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sports section yesterday almost made me laugh out loud.

On Sunday the Cardinals were rained out in Chicago. Wrote the "paper of record". "The game will be made up as part of a day night doubleheader with separate admissions on July 12th. That is one day before the All-Star Game".

Uh...gee, but no it's not. The All-Star Game is on July 14th at Busch Stadium. Maybe I will mail the paper a Cardinals schedule so it's editors can avoid future errors.
