This was posted on the Sox official website after the game. It is probably still up there if you take a look, but if not, here is the link;

The man who wrote it is named TOM SINGER. I have read a few of his articles in the past and they were all similar in style to this.
The reason that I bring this up is because this is the fourth or fifth article of his that I have read that is FULL of grammatical errors and in-correct "facts".
I don't know how/why he keeps getting away with this!! Doesn't he have a boss?? Does he not in the very least have a proof-reader or spellcheck??
I was going to post below all of the errors, both of the grammatical and fact wise, but I thought that it would be more fun for you guys to read this and see just how many mistakes he has made.
I counted 3 fairly major mistakes, and I only gave it a once over. I'm sure that there is probably a few more.
I just find this to be unexceptable in a column written by a "professional" MLB beat writer.
Sure, I make mistakes here on WSI, so does everyone else. However, I am not being paid for my "thoughts". If I were, I would make damn sure that I got everything correct in my story before I posted it for the whole world to see!!!
Have a look-see, it's entertaining. But it is also sad. Sad that this guy has a job.
I have seen DOZENS of better writers here at WSI who should have this guy's job!
ENJOY!
