ESPN.com: MLB – From terrible Fenway to beautiful Fenway

While I’m ranting, ESPN.com’s new approach to publishing Rob Neyer is an aggravating travesty. They keep changing the date published tag, so things look new. The problem is that if you already read them you’ve clicked to get to something old. (And yes, I usually remember what I’ve read, but that doesn’t always help in this milieu of headline and date shifting.)

Jayson Stark’s stuff suffers from the same duplicity.

I don’t care if there isn’t always new stuff posted. I like to know when there is new stuff posted. But when the story I’ve read on Friday is datelined Monday, I start to feel taken.

Fortunately those Delta Airline pop up ads haven’t infiltrated editorial. Yet.
