Another day, another lie from MLB.com

I love the disclaimer at the end of their articles, "this story was not subject to the approval of MLB or its clubs." Hey, great job! Getting paid and SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF NO ONE.

• Of course their latest duplicity is about Mariano Rivera, who pitched an inning on August 31, then did not pitch from Sept. 1-21. He pitched on Sept. 22.
• MLB.com's report filed at 11:15PM on Sept. 22 states Rivera was "marking his first appearance in nearly a month."
• See, NEARLY A MONTH sounds pretty bad; the EXACT ACTUAL AMOUNT OF TIME WAS 3 WEEKS, but that doesn't sound as bad as "nearly a month."
• HEY, THIS MLB.COM'er MUST BE PITCHING A JOB AT ESPN, OR FOX,, OR AT LEAST BIGGER ASSIGNMENTS FROM MLB.COM---JUST LIE ABOUT MARIANO RIVERA, THAT'LL GET YOU IN GOOD WITH THE BIG BOYS.

P.S. THE N.Y. TIMES GOT IT RIGHT: "Back on the mound after missing three weeks to rest his arm, Rivera..." from Tyler Kepner's article, 9/23/06.

• MLB.com is SLOPPY, AND SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN. The only reason they continue to lie is because you let them.
